Minshuku Yamabiko

The owner is very nice but the toilet is too narrow. Difficult to find but nice view from window.

I stayed here 1 night at the end of August, and wanted to stay longer, but it was full. so at the beginning of October, i came back for 4 more nights. it's in a quiet residential area, very peaceful, and only a 5 minute walk from a beautiful temple and a park on the lake. about 2 km. from the main station (which i tried to avoid, it's a crowded zoo). it's difficult to find, if you don't speak japanese (the owner lady does not speak any english), i suggest you write down the name in japanese so you can show it to people to help guide you there. my room looked right at mt. fuji. the town is very nice and relaxed. there is are free bicycles to use (no internet, but there's a 7-11 4 min. away, 1 free hour of wifi per day). i missed this place when i left, i hope to return to it someday. highly recommended.

Good service Good room Good hotel So cute!! ^^

The owners are very nice and helpful! We stayed in japeneese style room - very nice and quite large, we got complimentary coffee, tea, kimono. We had difficulties to find the hotel even using a GPS. No wifi. Quite remote location, but we were driving, so no issue.

It is hard to find the hotel. Please stop at the station 52 on Green Line Bus and walk a bit. But the staff is very nice and give us the good take car. She is a Japanese. The room very big and shared bath room. There is the bicycle that I am funny with them in the town. I will go there again. ^__^

Normally, the hotels around Kawaguchiko are very expensive, some of them also doesn't provide the views of Mt.Fuji but this Yamabiko (guest house) does! You paid less than $75 for a room with Japanese style and you can see the view of Mt.Fuji from your balcony (not from the room windows), still it is a great price for a great experience. The staff speaks very little English but still they are trying their best to help, you can bring your own foods and the owner will cooked it for you. I bought from meat from the supermarket nearby for my dinner, which saved me alot of money instead of going to restaurants. The hotel is around 2-3 kilometers from Kawaguchiko station, not so try to find and the town were so nice! you can walk and enjoy the views, it will take you no time to reach this hotel!

A traditional Japanese experience, with tatami mats, sliding screens, and futons on the floor. Very quiet area, close to lake kawaguchiko. No meals provided, but a number of shops within 20 minutes walk. The owner is very friendly, but doesn't speak a word of English. The view of mt Fuji from the window is brilliant! Only downside was the smelly shared toilets.

When we initially arrived, we thought it was quite out of the way from the bus station and major attractions but upon exploring a little more on foot, it was actually a 5 min walk to Lake Kawaguchiko and not much further to some of the attractions along the lake. The rooms are decent-sized, traditional Japanese rooms. Our 10 month old loves it as everything is his height! There is no air-conditioning so during the day it would get a little warm but there was a nice breeze at night with having windows all along 2 sides. We had an upper room so you have to walk up a long flight of stairs which was not fun with our larger suitcase so be warned. The bathrooms are shared and clean. For 700 yen you get a large, delicious, home-cooked traditional Japanese breakfast (let them know you want it the night before). You have to walk about 10 min to get out to a main road or near any eating establishments. There is a tiny little grocery and meat shop close by. It's very close to the lakeshore so you can walk to many attractions if you wish or catch one of the sigh-seeing buses. We chose to walk everywhere which is a little long and time-consuming but do-able.

Located in quite remote area. But, you can walk to shops and restaurants at Chigasaki intersection for about one km.

approx 8 tatami room (i.e sleep on a mat on the floor), sliding paper blinds. clear view of mt. fuji. all very simple and traditional. it's close to the lake and nice nearby temple, but a taxi ride to the train station. the lady owner does not speak english but is very helpful if you can speak some basic japanese. our room was in a modern annex with shared bathroom, toilet etc. we enjoyed the stay as we wanted a non-western japanese inn experience.

The lady who runs the hotel does not speak english but very friendly and as you arrive will immediately try to help you If you show your printed Agoda reservation you will have no problems. Rooms are Nice and clean. No AC but room manage to stay cool if you open the window. No beds you sleep on futons. Has TV with plenty of channels to keep you entertained at night and beautiful view of mount fuji. No restaurants or convenience stores around the hotel area. Its a 10 minute walk to nearest two restaurants and convenience stores down the main road toward the station. Bus stop not far from hotel. Also parking lot under hotel. Very japanese style hotel. Shared restrooms and shower.

great location. clean. met expectations and good value. would stay again.

Autre point fort,le calme car excentré de la route.A 10 mn du centre ville à vélo électrique.Langue japonaise seulement.

ホテルのサビスはいいけれど、ホテル自体が観光地からかなり離れて、周りはなにもないです。不便です。でも、ホテル自体が清潔です。

คุ้มค่ากับเงินที่จ่ายไปมาก ห้องพักสะอาด บรรยากาศดี บริการดี มีจักรยานให้ยืมฟรี ตอนกลับมีขับรถไปส่งที่สถานีด้วย ชอบที่สุดคือเห็นวิวภูเขาไปฟูจิจากห้องพักเลย

เป็นบ้านพักสไตล์ญี่ปุ่นดั้งเดิม พื้นห้องเป็นเสื่อตาตามิ กว้างอยู่สบาย หน้าต่างบานเลื่อนกระดาษ มีโต๊ะญี่ปุ่น และตู้เก็บฟูกให้เอาออกมาปูนอนได้เอง ที่นอน ผ้าห่ม สะอาด และอุ่นมาก ในห้องมีฮีตเตอร์ให้ 1 ตัว ผ้าเช็ดตัว ผ้าเช็ดผม ชุดยูกาตะคนละ 1 ชุด ห้องน้ำเป็นแบบรวม แต่สะอาดมาก สุขาแยกส่วนจากห้องอาบน้ำร้อน ที่ทำเป็นห้องรวมแบบญี่ปุ่น มีอ่างแช่น้ำร้อนำใหญ่ และก๊อกเตี้ย+ฝักบัวสำหรับ 4 คน อาบรวมได้ในห้องเดียว หากอยากอาบคนเดียว ก็ปิดประตูล็อกได้ ไม่มีอาหารบริการ แต่สามารถสั่งได้ (คุณป้าเจ้าของบ้านใจดีมาก แต่พูดอังกฤษไม่ได้เลย) ในห้องพัก มี 7 ห้อง ตอนเข้าพักโชคดีมาก พักอยู่ห้องเดียว เลยเหมือนบ้านเป็นของเรา พื้นที่ส่วนกลาง มี sink กาน้ำร้อน ชาเขียว กา ถ้วยชา และกระติกน้ำร้อน แบบบริการตัวเอง ยกใส่ถาดเข้าไปดื่มในห้องได้ วิวจากหน้าต่างสวยมาก เปิดมาเจอภูเขาไฟฟูจิ เงียบสงบมาก เพราะอยู่ในชุมชนชาวบ้าน ไม่ได้อยู่ในแหล่งท่องเที่ยว เสียอย่างเดียว ที่ตั้งค่อนหายาก ต้องเดินเข้าซอย และ search ใน google map ไม่ได้ เพราะต้อง search ภาษาญี่ปุ่น

Svårt att hitta hotellet. Bara skyltar på japanska. Dyrt för denna typ av enkla hotell. Ej engelstalande personal.
