Open from July 2017, Guesthouse Murabito is nestled just a 2-minute stroll away from Lake Yamanaka. Free WiFi access is available throughout the entire property, and free private parking is offered on site. A convenience store and supermarket are respectively a 2 and 15-minute stroll away. A restaurant is located a 3-minute walk away from the accommodation.

Keisuke and Marino are incredibly friendly and accommodating hosts/owners. You can feel the love and care they've poured into Murabito Guesthouse with everything ranging from the bunk beds, bilingual guide books and map of Yamanakako they've made themselves, to all the photos showing their past travels on display in the shared living space. Murabito is conveniently located to many amenities whether they be bus stops used by local buses or ones going towards Tokyo and Shizuoka. Or local eateries and grocery stores. It's a little gesture but being welcomed back after returning from a day of travel was a very refreshing thing and added to the experience. Will definitely be back in the future.

Close to Lake Yamanaka, Yabukiso is located in Yamanakako and has a public bath and garden. The 2-star guest house features mountain views and is 14 km from Fuji-Q Highland. The guest house provides rooms with air conditioning, free private parking and free WiFi.

The hostess honestly made the stay fantastic. Her attitude was so welcoming, she explained the facilities in simple Japanese for us, and gave us recommendations not only for the town, but for the Fuji area as well. I've stayed in a few ryokans before, but this was the best experience by far. We also had the Fuji-view room, which I recommend getting! We went in the late fall for viewing leaves in town, so it got quite chilly at night, but the room stayed toasty. I slept so well. The bath was also spacious, good amenities, and just the right amount of time to stay in.

    Everything! The hotel is in such serene setting that all your troubles simply go away. The host was super caring and welcoming. It is on Yamanako sightseeing bus route which departs from platform 6 at Kawaguchiko station. You get off either one stop before Yamanakako Asahigaoka or at Yamanakako Asahigaoka as it is likely you’ll find a taxi there. It is a bit far from Kawaguchiko station, however, it is worth a visit for the peace and quiet you get.

    A great guesthouse in the lakes area! We're so glad we didn't stay in the much busier Kawaguchi lake area and stayed here, where it was far quieter and laid-back. The owners are a lovely couple who are well travelled and clearly know how to run the perfect guesthouse with a chilled hostel-like atmosphere. Our room was lovely, our first traditional Japanese style room. The whole place is spotlessly clean, warm, and cosy. We also loved the common area with kotatsu (like a Spanish brasero), books, and large, well-equipped kitchen.

    It‘s a place where you feel at home immediately. There is so much love for the detail and the interior just reflects that warm and welcoming atmosphere. As do the hosts. Both speek very good English and are super friendly and helpful and also always in for a chat. The guesthouse reflects the hosts experience of traveling around the world and brings together the best things.

    Marie is probably the kindest host I've ever met. Her pension is very quiet, clean and conformable. There is even a Ghibli vibe.

    I would recommend anyone to stay at this guesthouse, the house itself is wonderful, the bedroom’s are large and comfortable, the bathrooms are clean and the jet bath is an added bonus. The location is amazing with so much to do around that area, lots of hikes and places to cycle and enjoy the scenery. The hosts are amazing and couldn’t do enough for me, they really went above and beyond. I hope to come back in the future and stay here again. Thank you so much for everything.

    Location was excellent for someone who wanted a little peace and quiet although the center wasn't too far away by public transportation. Mt. Fuji right in the backyard and a beautiful lake view as well. Such a cute and colorful hostel and lovely staff!
