samurise NORTH

The property was also a hostel, but it was nice for a couple night stay. It was a bit far from station. Then there’s a curfew in the area. Overall, it was a good experience. There’s no staffs, it’s all self explanatory.

The property is located right at the walkable distance to the lake and it’s quiet, beautiful surroundings

Big, clean rooms. Bike rentals were available on site which was very convenient!

Along the way of the sightseeing bus and easy walk to the lake to view Mount Fuji.

Good location

The accommodation is self service: - electronic checkin - amenity are available at front desk - oven and fridge in the room

Although Samurise was on the other side of the town, it was very nice. We liked that a 711 and a family mart is right next door. The local bus stop was also very close by, easy to get around. The hostel had very limited hours wire staff. We would have to wait until 11 am just to rent a bike and they were not flexible with renting to us earlier. So a lot of waiting around. Wish they could be more flexible considering we were staying there anyway.

Loved that it was a hostel, but with a private room and bathroom. We loved having a 7/11 for quick food and drinks next to the house. Quick walk over to the lake for views of Mt Fuji and close to bus stops. We absolutely loved our time there and would definitely stay there again!

Staying 1 night for 4 people, the room was clean and like in the website, made us feeling safe and cozy even had to carried our luggages to 2nd floor. Their staffs and services were so nice with fully of service mind. With great location, we could walk to 7-eleven and restaurants nearby. In the morning you can see Fuji right from the window and walk along the lake, such a good vibe! During our stay, we really had a great time :)

Easy check in and check out.

Spacious room with Mount Fuji view. The staff is polite and friendly. She recommended the crab noodles restaurant and a cafe to us and they were tasty.

My first experience in Japan and the experience was most pleasing. The hospitality and amenities were more than I could expect and the comfortable bed made me fall asleep within minutes. Excellent place to stay

I often stay here as the rooms are always clean and have everything needed. Self-check-in is also quick and simple even without staff. The location is super convenient, especially with a 7-11 right outside! The view of Fuji peaking out is a bonus too, and for the full view, it's only a 5-minute walk to the lake!

Nice hostel, with all basic needs met. Very clean. Location excellent, 5 min walk to best view of Mt Fuji of this region! You can also see a partial view of the Mt. Fuji. Heater air is a bit too dry though. Be aware that check in is at the kawaguchiko station area, as there is no person at the actual site. It is unguarded.

It was amazing!

Amazing location, less than 5 minutes walk from the sightseeing bus stop 14 and 15 and the lake. About a 5-10 minute walk from a a 7/11 and lawsons and to some restaurants (great izakaya opposite 7/11) . The free bikes were great too! The room was overall nice, comfortable beds and a bonus view of mount fuji. There is a fridge, microwave and kettle on the landing which is super useful! The only problem is if you want to go into town to eat etc, it was about 2000 yen in a taxi back when the bus stops running.

Space is huge, but there’s no staff physically at the property. Fuss free place and dont expect too much. Very near the sightseeing bus stop 15 but still quite a distance from restaurants / convenience stores.

Great budget hotel with a strong retro ambience! Location is perfect with a cheesecake and wine shops right next to it ! Has a view of Mount Fuji from the room ! Off season it was a self checkin and be ready to remove your shoes at the entrance and wear the slippers! Loved it !

My room is family room. It was great and comfortable. But i still see the web at the corner of rear window.

We had booked this hotel for 2 nights but added an extra night (good communication from hotel to our enquiry to extend) as our plans changed slightly. After 2 torrential rainy days and a typhoon we woke on our last morning to an amazing view of Fuji out the window. The hotel is a little out of town (10 min bus ride) next to an art and a music museum and 5 mins from a lakeside walk with amazing views of Fuji (if it isn't in clouds) There are a couple of restaurants nearby and a 7eleven and Lawson for snacks. The rooms are all on one side on the first floor looking towards the lake and Fuji and on the landing is a fridge, microwave and kettle with tea and coffee. The girl on reception was very welcoming and helpful about getting buses and finding food etc. Our room was big with 2 beds, table and chairs and tv. Beds and the bathroom were clean but the desk and Tv were a bit dusty. Overall a good hotel choice for the area.
