    Charming hostel with cozy common places, great kitchen and the Fuji-san view from the balcony! Clean rooms, all necessary kitchen tools and city bikes to rent. It was great to ride across the lake (the rental is cheaper than near the lake beach)....

  • エアコンはありますか?

    誠に申し訳ございませんが、当宿はエアコンの設置はございません。理由と致しましては標高1000mに位置する山中湖村は避暑地で冷夏のため、日中は数時間ほど暑さを感じますが朝と夜は窓を開放すれば涼しい(少し肌寒い)ためです。よって当宿では夏季は扇風機、冬季は業務用のガスヒーターを使用しております。

  • Hello, I'm wondering whether a large suitcase (158cm) is allowed on the local bus if I need to travel from the Kawaguchi station to your place. Thanks!

    The local bus company(Fujikyu bus) said they can not accept carrying that huge luggage in their local bus. You will need to send it to our place in advance.

  • When booking a room for Two adults, will we share our room with other people as I see that you have two bunk beds per room?

    If you're talking about the standard private room, no it is just only your group in the room.
