Staff excellent in English communication as well as suggestion for the interested place. Room is large enough for 2 persons, tidy and clean, bed ware is very clean. Location is good as it opposite with the Kawaguchiko Station, but far from Lake Kawaguchi.

Very nice place, just located across the road from the station. The owner was very friendly as well. The dorm room was very spacious, and the beds are the type that are raised high above the floor to allow you to put your stuff underneath (enough space to fit even a desk). You can hang your clothing underneath too, on the rods. The floor is covered in tatami, if you're the type that likes that.

A great Hostel-hotel. They upgraded us to a private room just because they had the space. The place has a very nice Onsen, and good facilities. The staff speaks perfect English and are very kind and willing to help with anything. The location is just perfect (in front of train station). From the restaurant you can see the mt Fuji, and the food is so good there!. A lovely place. If I go back there, I will repeat the experience. And thanks for the farewell presents!

This is our 4th time to stay here, since the first time we came there was not a private shower room. But right now there are 2 private shower rooms for some guests who never try public bath room. Also most of rooms are Fujisan's view which very beautiful view I'm never forget. We can see Fujisan every time we stay here. This is our first hotel that we choose when we go to kaguchi-ko.

It was our first time visiting the Fuji area and staying at the Kawaguchi-ko Inn took out all the hassles of finding a place to stay. The location was very convenient, being just across the train station. Their prices are not bad with the available services in the Inn. The staff were very friendly and helpful too.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The views of Mt Fuji were spectacular, especially from the onsen. The rooms and bathrooms were clean and tidy. We especialy enjoyed the lounge, they have a section where you can dress in traditional Japanese dress and take photo's. Also an electronic dart board, a big TV and free tea and coffee. We liked this place so much we stayed an extra night.

A pretty basic hostel, but the staff are helpful and the location is across the road from the station so its easy to find.

Mr. Yamoto was most accomodating and ensured that our stay was pleasurable and comfortable. His wife was a wonderful cook as we ate dinner and breakfast there with a wonderful, homey atmosphere. The hot bath was amazing after a day's walk to the snow monkeys and around the town. I need to find out how to adjust my bill as we only stayed one night but paid for two nights. Please advise. tanclan@rogers.com
