Good place, clean with neceesary amenities. The wall is thinner so we could hear people in the next room. Having a little difficult with self check in but over all is good. Only 3 minuts walking distance from bus station.

Me and friends stayed in 1 bedroom with 3 futons for 3 nights, the room was clean and tidy and very comfortable.
As a hostel, there are many tourist and bag-packers and don't care much about cleaning the communal spaces but someone from the hostel came to clean every day, and that was very good!
The hostel provides, slippers, shampoo, conditioner and washing and drying cloth.
Location is perfect! very close to the Kawaguchiko station. I think is a very good hostel. thank you

It’s an old place. Hard to find. Worst part - Sleep on the thin futon on the floor; no bed. My back was aching. But it has great comfortable blankets. The best thing is its location near the visitor center, train-bus stations, and restaurants.

This place would be an okay place to stay if the Heater worked. Especially during winter. The room that we stayed in had no working heater and the room was as cold as the outside. It was -3c. We contacted the hostes and she basically said there was nothing we could do. So we slept 3 nights in freezing temperatures. Honestly its worth paying extra to stay in another place and a place that has an onsen.

I also stayed at a Wafu guesthouse close by. We happen to book Samurise hostel due to typhoon conditions through Expedia. This is super close to the station. It’s just across really. I’ve also stayed previously in Ubuya Ryokan (min. 600 per night) this is like a budget version of the room. Minus the private bathroom and posh linens with views, this place is clean cut traditional. Wafu hostel looks like my friend’s parents old home with over 100 plates on display. T at Salurise Fuji hostel, there’s complimentary washing machine. My only complain is the shower because I can’t quite get the temperature right with another person using the other shower. Overall, it’s a fabulous stay.

I can sum up our stay at Samuris with 1 word; interesting. There is not a chair in the whole place. Our room has a double bunk bed, but only floor sitting as in tatami. I see other rooms are all tatami. It is OK for young folks. As we are seniors, sitting on the floor for any lenght of time is a challenge. Getting up is even worse. Otherwise the place is quite nice. Very Japanese feel. It has everything we need. We share the facilities with 4 other rooms of people. It remind me of my younger yeays in the service. We were lucky. Most of the other guests were nice and quiet. Except for our last night there came a group of 4/5 people from across the hall who were rather loud sometimes. After midnight all were quiet. So it is all good. The place is near the main station (5 min walk). You can plan your activites literally from the sta. The walls are thin. Bring some ear plugs just in case. I brought mine but never needed them. 1 more observation, there are only little paper cups and lots of tea bags. Our room has a kettle. A microwave oven is in the laundry room. Interesting.
O, a last and perhaps least thing is the toilet seat is heated. At 1st it felt nice. No more cold contacts. But after a few minutes it heats up my bum and makes it sweaty. Rather uncomfortable. May be it's just me. Cheers!
Thank you Samurise. We enjoy the stay.
