Set in Fujikawaguchiko, less than 1 km from Lake Kawaguchi, HOSTEL MICHIKUSA-YA offers accommodation with a garden, free private parking and a shared lounge. The 3-star hostel has air-conditioned rooms with a shared bathroom and free WiFi. The accommodation provides a shared kitchen, free shuttle service and luggage storage for guests. This was an amazing place, I stayed 3 nights, and I wish I could have stayed longer. The common area is so beautiful, warm, and cozy. They even play super nice relaxing music in the evening to make it even more pleasant. The dorm was also really nice and clean. The location is amazing, close to the lake, and with a lot of nice things to do like hiking, biking, or going to a nearby onset. But the best part was the hostels owner. He picked me up from the station and took me back there without any additional cost. He also gave me a lot of nice suggestions about places to visit and things to do, such a nice person. I hope I can come back to visit this place soon! Thanks for a lovely time.

Kagelow Mt.Fuji Hostel Kawaguchiko has been newly renovated in September 2015. Guests can enjoy the on-site bar.

Lake Kawaguchi is 2.7 km from Kagelow Mt.Fuji Hostel Kawaguchiko, while Mount Fuji is 15 km from the property. Kagelow is one of the most stunning hostels I have stayed at. It is immaculately clean and the facilities are lush! There is an onsite restaurant and bar and the hostels outfit is beautiful. I stayed in both the hostel dorm rooms and also the private hostel rooms, both were exceptional! Highly recommend for solo and group travellers if you are looking for a more relaxed atmosphere!

The hostel provides certain rooms that include a safety deposit box, and each room is equipped with a shared bathroom with a shower and a hairdryer. The owner running the place was very kind! He explained and showed everything to us that was usable in the hostel. There are multiple showers and toilets, as well as a kitchen and laundry available. For the price, it’s really great and I recommend it if you’re just looking for a place to stay the night!

Providing free WiFi, MOUNTAinn Nagiso is located in Nagiso, 4.7 km from Kotoku-ji Temple and 4.7 km from Sekibutsu Kanzan Jittoku Statue. Featuring a shared kitchen, this property also provides guests with a terrace. Certain rooms at the property include a balcony with a mountain view.

Otsumago is 6 km from the hostel, while Magome Observatory is 12 km away. Matsumoto Airport is 83 km from the property. My party of 5 total stayed only one night when hiking the Magome to Nagiso section of the Nakasendo. Proximity to train station and Nakasendo trail was the original selling point, but we fell in love with the place as soon as our host toured us around. It feels like staying at an artsy bed and breakfast, except you provide the breakfast and you get the entire place to yourself. There's small, delightful touches of personality and hospitality every where you look. We did not want for anything. Our sweet host met us at the front door to enter data from our passports and then gave us a walk through of the building. Two toilets and two showers was perfect for a group of 5. Fridge and other kitchen appliances work great. We listened to the CD disc player on the wall while reading the books and it was a lovely experience.The futons were placed very thoughtfully according to our parties needs. In addition to the trail and train station, there's a grocery store, a historic bridge and a cafe all within a couple minutes walk. The patios were a great hang out spot and we saw monkeys near the river around 7am. Honestly, I wish we had stayed longer but our plans dictated we move on. Next time we will try to book a few more nights so we can explore the area more!

At the hostel, each room is fitted with a wardrobe. With a shared bathroom equipped with a bidet and a hairdryer, rooms at Starfall Lodge also offer a mountain view.

Hakuba Cortina Ski Area is 14 km from the hostel, while Togakushi Shrine is 41 km away. Matsumoto Airport is 67 km from the property. Family of 4 stayed in Taurus room for 6. Excellent stay! Big thanks to the team! You won’t find a better staff! The lodge owners take care of their staff and the staff took great care of us! Daily breakfast and shuttles to local mountains were the perfect way to start each day! Shuttle: Staff was very accommodating when we wanted rides to restaurants and the walk back was reasonable; 25 minutes was the longest walk and was quite pleasant even in a light snow. Location: there are 10 ski resorts that are all different, so unless you wanted to stay on one and stay there, the location doesn’t really matter. We went to several different and the shuttle system the lodge runs was great! Starfall was also a 10 minute walk one way to the bus terminal and 10 the other to the train. Room was great! Beds were comfortable and plenty of space in our room. Closet had a waist high shelf perfect for a full size suitcase and more. Lots of hangers. Warm heater. Facilities were awesome-we had two daughters (9, 13) with us. They were very comfortable and had a great time with the staff. There are 6 toilets in private set ups. Never had to wait to use the bathroom. The two showers were also great. Warm outer rooms to undress/dress and spacious showers with two shower heads; nice hot water! We never had to wait for a shower either. Dry room: very helpful and had our ski gear nice and toasty in the AM! If anything, the room was a little hot while getting ready, but we just stepped out onto the covered porch to finish dressing for the slopes! Overall-can’t recommend enough!
