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. Wonderful stay and kind staff 🤍🤍 I had a very pleasant stay at this hotel. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-prepared. But what truly made my experience special was the kindness of the staff, especially Minori, who was very helpful even after my stay. She kindly sent me my forgotten item from Japan with great care and attention. I really appreciate their professionalism and warm hospitality. I would be happy to stay here again when I visit Japan next time.

Situated in Fujikawaguchiko, 八-Hachi- Accommodation has free bikes, garden, shared lounge, and free WiFi throughout the property. The property is set 4 km from Fuji-Q Highland, 25 km from Mount Fuji and 3.5 km from Kawaguchi Asama Shrine. The property is non-smoking and is located 1.3 km from Lake Kawaguchi.

The hostel features some units that have mountain views, and the rooms are fitted with a shared bathroom with a shower. I had the pleasure of staying at Hachi Hostel from February 22nd to 23rd, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience! The tatami-style room was cozy and authentic, offering a true taste of Japanese culture. The highlight of the room was undoubtedly the breathtaking view of Mount Fuji right outside the window—it was like waking up to a postcard every morning. The hostel's location is incredibly convenient, making it easy to explore the surrounding areas. The atmosphere at Hachi is relaxed and welcoming, with a unique charm that makes you feel right at home. The shared facilities were clean, well-maintained, and very practical for travelers. What truly stood out, though, was the kindness of the owner. They went above and beyond to assist us during our stay, making sure we had everything we needed. Their hospitality added a personal touch that made our trip even more special. I highly recommend Hachi Hostel to anyone visiting the area. Whether you're a solo traveler or with friends, this place offers a perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and unforgettable views. I can't wait to return!

The property is around 3.9 km from The Japan Ukiyo-e Museum, 29 km from Canora Hall and 600 metres from Matsumoto Castle. The accommodation offers a shared kitchen, and luggage storage for guests. Matsumoto is a very pleasant city and Couch Potato Hostel is an excellent base for its discovery. The energy of the place is wonderful. Because of all the effort of owner. It is located short walk from station (cca 13min) and few minutes to castle. Everything is around the block. Our private room was really nice. And beds (futons) were really comfortable amd thick. Shared bathrooms were clean. I really liked the booklet, prepared by owner and placed in shared kitchen, in which he presents his choices for restaurants, bars, icecream. You can use washing machine. You can use refrigerator. You can bring in baggage before check in. There are also 4 bikes on disposal to use!

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!
