Spent here 2 nights during our trip through Japan. We wanted to enjoy the real Japanese home, and we got it! Very sweet couple of owners: super friendly, they even dropped us to the station when we were leaving. Mt. Fuji is just in from of the window - view is perfect, however you must keep in mind the weather. We walked around in the night to enjoy clear sky with stars, fresh air, and absolute quietness. The last bus goes from the station at 17:38, it is better if you rent a car. 20-25 minutes walking and there is big public Onsen, where we had an amazing time. Restaurants in the area: we found 1, and it was fine. Lawson, 7/11 are available in walking distance.

The shower is Japanese style as well, so you can be culturally shocked. Super cold room, my husband doesn't like this discomfort, I managed somehow to take a shower. But, again, it is not bad, just very different from what we used to.

This seems to be a typical minshuku experience. The lady is older and does not speak any english. She will show the place and use translator if necessary. There is a refrigerator to get drinks on level 1. You can pay when you leave. There is 1 bathroom with a hot bath which is quite common for home stays. Car GPS and Google Maps directions was accurate. View of Fujisan from the bedroom is beautiful. Everything is clean and as expected. I will return in future if staying in the area again.

The location is a bit out of the way, which is not an issue for me since I drove. However, if you did not drive I am not sure how you can get around.

The traditional experience, the friendly staff, and peaceful neighborhood. The inn owner gave us a complimentary ride to the bus station when it was raining. So much kindness and hospitality!

The area was more rural than we realized when we booked. Since we traveled there by train then bus, we were on foot for dinner options. Unfortunately, we waited too long to go out to find a meal and were not able to find anything!

The properly owner very kind and friendly. Aunty serve us a breakfast if you are come with a bunch of guest. So that Aunty can prepare the meal. I like their Japan traditional house design, can give more experience on this. There have view of Mt fuji in room. Luckily we got it.

Kawaguchico station local bus to minshuku Kobayashi last bus in before 6pm. We miss the bus, end up we need to take taxi to destination, cost 3.5k Yen. But, you guys can early arrange pickup with owner. I think they will help to pick you up from station. Hope this can help you all prepare time to get the bus to journey. Owner only know Japanese, so prepare translate or arrangement early in booking process. Easily to communicate thru App.

We are glad that our room has a good view of Mt. Fuji. Looking outside the window was the first thing I did in the morning. The tatami room is spacious and clean. Both the house and the environment are quiet and peaceful.

The house is a bit far away from Kawaguchiko station. We took the blue line bus and got off at stop 73 to get there. The last bus is at 5:30pm.

We could walk to the lakes and around Kawaguchiko adn really felt we were in the countriside which in itself has it's charm. I loved the idea of sleeping in a traditional Japanese house - you sleep on a mattress, the bathroom had all the amenities and plus there is a traditional bath there. They picked us up at the train station and also dropped us off - the owners were very nice, even though they didn't sleep English we managed to have a nice stay there.

It takes a bit to get used to the traditional way of sleeping and the mattress.

Absolutely breathtaking view of Fujisan from our window! Amazing onsen 30 minute walk away. Very good shared facilities: fridge, microwave, bathrooms, showers. Our lovely hosts also offered us a lift to the station on checkout.

The location is slightly out of the way, so some planning is required for transportion and food.

-Grandma "Obachan", who's managing the place was very friendly and always smiling. -Very nice view of Mt Fuji from our window. -room size was enough for our family and heating was warm enough.

- i'd prefer to have separate toilets for boys and girls.

The lady who owns the place was so friendly and adorable, she even gave us a lift to the train station the next morning. We had the most amazing view of Mt Fuji out of our room window. Lovely Onsen baths.

Everything was perfect.

Everything. The room was very comfortable with a view of Fuji-san. The hosts were a delight, they make you feel like one of the family! I will definitely stay here again & I recommend to everyone.

Nothing.
