"受付と宿泊場所が別館になります。受付の対応も素晴らしく、スムーズに対応していただきました。別館の入り口は狭く2階以降が客室になります。内装はリノベーションされていて、とても綺麗で広く使うことができました。浴室も少しコンパクトにはなりますが、コストから考えると十分です。近くにコンビニなどがないため、ある程度買い物をしたあとに立ち寄るのが吉です。ホテルから駅を挟んで向こう側にスーパーがあります。ホテルの正面向かい側の道沿いにイベントスペースや飲食店があります。私はそこにあるTAP8という燻製料理と地ビールのお店が好きで、今回はここに宿泊しました。またこちらに訪れるときは利用させていただこうと思います。"

"ドミトリーで予約しましたが客が少なかったこともあって個室にしていただきました。スタッフ(オーナー？)の対応はとても良かったです。宿は周辺にコンビニ等はないのでちょっと不便を感じました。部屋にはTVがなかったのですがフリーWIFIがあったのでネットで見ることができたのは良かった。お風呂は近くの道の駅で利用できます、これがなかなか良かった。食堂は近くにありますが、車があれば(私は自転車でした)少し遠出をしたほうがいいですね。"

Hostel Mt. Fuji-FUKUYA

Tatsugaoka

10/10 Excellent

I had a wonderful stay at this hostel and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area. Machiko, the owner, is such a kind, warm, and lovely person. I arrived later than expected, but she patiently waited for me to arrive, which I really appreciated after a long day of travelling. The location is incredibly peaceful and quiet. It was one of the best nights of sleep I had during my trip to Japan, and it was the perfect place to relax and unwind. I only stayed for one night, but...

Konastay Izu-Nagaoka - Hostel

Izu Nagaoka Onsen

10/10 Excellent

Staff, room and environment were excellent. There was access to free WiFi, and space to eat the included breakfast as well as any food or drink you prepared for yourself. The food for breakfast was varied, both hot and cold, with coffee, tea or a range of juices or water. There are two public baths for male and female users. Great range of bikes to hire including electric ones. The shower was AMAZING! We wanted to stay for longer and will definitely return.

RYOKAN PLUM

Odawara

10/10 Excellent

I stayed at 5 different accommodations during my visit to Japan, and Ryokan Plum was by far my favourite - it was a shame that I could only stay for one night! I stayed in the traditional tatami room, which exceeded all of my expectations. It was beautiful! The host (I forget her name) who greeted me upon my arrival was very kind and welcoming. I would highly recommend Ryokan Plum to anyone visiting the Hakone/Odawara area.

Ninohira

10/10 Excellent

I had a great one night stay here. The staff are very welcoming and clearly enjoy working there and interacting with guests. The room is exactly as described, and it was very dark at night too. The walls are very thin and sound travels easily especially from the room below, so it’s better to think of it as a dorm rather than a completely separate room. I couldn’t join the Irori dinner as I arrived too late, but it was starting just as I was arriving, and it looked like a cosy experience...

Highly recommend this hostel for anyone staying around the Fuji area! As soon as I arrived, I was welcomed by the friendly staff, who all spoke English. I was shown a tour of the hostel which was helpful and got to choose which bed to stay in (tip - don't sleep next to the dehumidifier, it's got a constant hum, the hostel is not to blame for this!). Michael was very helpful when providing info and tips about climbing Mount Fuji, without his guidance I wouldn't have been able to climb. Nice and...
