The hotel staff was amazingly friendly and extremely helpful. The only critique I have is that it's more expensive than other places around. I was alone in the 10-bed dorm room but I wouldn't want to stay there if it's full - too many beds and no space. No common area to hang out, the rest superbe!

Thank You for your comments. As in my web-site it is well known I have no common room, but I do have a great sports Cafe & Pub on the 1st floor. It is really a great way to spend time with friends and make new local friends from the area over a burger or drinks. We have 10 beds in each dorm at 2,900 yen per person per night that's price is equal to or lower then almost all the hostels/hotels in this area. I do have a Great staff thank You for that. Michael, Owner

Micheal is a "kick" visit the bar. We had a good time. This is more like a "home" that is well appointed. I would use it again.

Nice place, quiet and casual. Free umbrellas were very useful. There's a pub downstairs operated by same, but we found it above our budget and didn't try it.

The staff was very welcoming and knowledgable. Helped me with reservations for travel from Mt.Fuji as well. The only thing missing from the facilities is a common room. Travelers could meet in the bar and restaurant downstairs but it is very overpriced.

Thank You for your comment. Yes we do not have a common room but that is noted on my web-site. My web-site does talk about the Cafe & Pub on t he 1st floor where you can meet people there and enjoy time with them plus enjoy a cold drink & great food. As far as being overpriced I do my best to keep all my prices down to the lowest cost possible. If you go to any Cafe & Pub like mine anywhere in Japan or this area you will see that our prices are the same or lower. I know backpackers are on a tight budget so I do all I can to keep the price a low as possible in my Hostel and Cafe & Pub. We have happy hour 20% off drinks, ladies night 20% off drinks all night, plus I am sure when i meet all my guests from my hostel I will most of the time give you a free drink. Again Thank You for your comment. I really hope to see you here again, Maybe next time you can climb Mt. Fuji.

It is located in a very quiet location with not many attractions. The staff was friendly.

This was such a comfortable hostel to stay in. Very helpful staff, they made sure we were as comfortable as possible and even gave us another room when ours was near some construction works. Definitely recommend this place as it has excellent heating, great wifi, a nice bar downstairs, and good books to read while you're there! Also only a 5minute walk from Gekkoji station which connects directly to Kawaguchiko by train.

Would have been good to have more cooking facilities and maybe a bigger common area.

Thank You for your comment. On the1st floor we have a sports cafe & pub that seats 60 people. Most of our guests use the pub to eat and enjoy relaxing time with other guests from the hostel and the local area.

We stayed at Mt Fuji Michael's for 3 days. My friend got sick from the previous city, and when we got to the hostel we were welcomed so well by the staff. After another day of rest my friend felt like he needed to go to the hospital, and Michael and his wife woke up at 5:30am in the morning and drove us to the hospital. They waited until we were given the okay by the Dr and looked after us until the day we left. This is definitely THE hostel to stay. Secure, clean, fun, caring. Thank you so much
