10/5 stars. We stayed here on our honeymoon adventure, and staying here was a highlight of the trip. Mochiko Sen is a wonderful host that went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. She speaks excellent English and is a wonderful guide for the Fuji area. She gave us travel recommendations, showed us restaurants in the area that are friendly to foreigners, and has lots of helpful maps and info in the hostel. The hostel is in a great location, very close to the Chureito Pagoda, the train station and more. It was very tidy, the beds were very comfortable, and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. She made us a wonderful breakfast in the morning before we left and she even made us good luck charms to celebrate our wedding and best wishes for our marriage and our trip. We teared up from how nice it was of her. We will definitely be coming back if we ever come back to Fujiyoshida. Highly recommend...

For one night this place was fine for me and would come back because the main attractions...
Read moreI stayed two nights at Hostel Mt. Fuji - FUKUYA in April 2023. The owner Mochiko Sen is a sweet and kind person who speaks fluent English. The place was small but clean, comfortable, and the best value for a budget traveler like me.
The place, converted from a single-family house, is a low-budget and one-person-run hostel that allows guests to stay the nights; it's not an expensive place that offers 24/7 service and fancy amenities.
I am a supporter of small businesses, and Mochiko Sen's hospitality made me feel like I was visiting an aunt in the small town. I would stay here again if I visit the town...
