This is a gorgeous traditional hotel only a few minutes walk away from the Kawaguchiko train station. The staff here are super friendly and helpful, going out of their way to serve you when needed. Your room is very traditional with your bed being a futon. Whilst you can see Fuji from the balcony, you're also a 30 min walk away from some of the best views of Mt Fuji (of which the staff can tell you where to exactly go). You're also able to cook and do laundry here if you're staying as part of a longer trip in Japan and wish to do so. I would happily stay here again.

Lovely stay and staff

We booked triple bed room and we got the big room with Fuji view in the morning. This view is very surprise us after wake up in the morning.

Guest house have a cleaned kitchen with a electric stove, Pan, Pot, Bowl and plate are ready to use. So, you can walk down the hill around 5 minutes then buy some fresh ingredients from supermarket then cook in the kitchen. We bough a cooked rice from Lawson and egg to do a fried rice (as pictures). We also do a Gyudon rice on the 2nd night. 

Staff of this guesthouse is ver kind and good service. If you plan to stay here you can walk just 4-5 minite to the train / bus station and in-front of the bus station (walk on the small street behind Lawson) you will see an empty area (they have some vegetable grown here)  you can see Fuji view very clearly from this place.

Good location, clean room with good Fuji view

The owner is very nice to us. It has tatami style flooring and it feels like we lived in traditional japan era. It is very close to Kawaguchiko station, it also close to the bike rental. We rented a bike and take a stroll around kawaguchiko lake which is quite near from the guesthouse... it's a nice experience...

a feeling of being traditional japanese

Enjoyed staying this very nice and neat guest house when visiting Kawaguchiko, it is close to  the station and very accessible to all the places of interest. Lovely staff and well facilitated as a guest house. We stayed there for 2 nights and every morning we could see Mount Fuji throughout the window. It also provide complimentary breakfast!

Lovely staff and good location!

Location was great, it is very close to Kawaguchiko Station. Easily access to train and buses. 

The guesthouse is very traditional. Staff is very friendly. The toilets and shower are shared. No problem with that. We did not really meet the rest of the guests. The room and toilets are very clean. 

The doors are rather short though. My partner, standing at 185cm, had banged his head a few times while entering the doors. but the height is just nice for me.

There is no aircon in the room. Kawaguchiko is naturally cooling. Cool air enters in from the window. It's really nice to sleep in. It was almost summer so it is not too cold like winter.

During my sleep, i dreamt of a spirit, telling me that this room is her bridal room. She used to live here and had done her wedding in this house. Well, it was just a dream to me. If the owner/staff reads this, let me know if there's something.

Japanese home stay

This is a nice place to stay for a few nights. The room was clean, quite spacious for a room in Japan. It has tatami style flooring and we used futons as beds. Its a first time experience sleeping in a Japanese traditional style room. The lounge areas, toilets, showers and common areas were clean and spotless.  Staffs are very friendly and helpful. You can use the lounge for chilling and the kitchen to cook meals if you are into it. Packet Coffee and tea with a hot water jug was available all day long and in the mornings they do provide some buns and bread for a light breakfast. There is no restaurant in Wafu but you could opt to order a Shabu Shabu meal from the staff before 4pm and have it delivered to the accommodation for dinner.
Kawaguchiko Station is 3 mins walk away and further down from the station there are plenty of restaurants and convenience store like 7-11 and Lawsons.

The only gripe I had with the room was
The room we were in only had only two sockets for charging our devices and we had to share one of those sockets with the heater. More sockets would have been better seeing that people tend to travel with more and more devices these days.
