Mt Fuji Hostel Michael's

The hostel is in a very good location for anyone planning to hike Mt Fuji, with easy access to transport and nearby amenities. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and provided detailed advice that helped me plan my hike smoothly. They speak fluent English and Japanese, which made communication easy and stress‑free. The main drawback is that luggage and personal belongings cannot be stored on‑site, which can be inconvenient if you’re travelling with large bags or arrive before check‑in. If you pack light, this won’t be an issue, but it’s worth keeping in mind when making arrangements.

Great place to stay in while in Fujiyoshida. Close to fujikawaguchiko and to great to climb Fuji also.

Friendly helpdesk. Only disadvantage is they dont have lift and hostel is in second floor. If you have heavy luggage might reconsider while booking.

Very friendly & helpful staff. You can get Mt Fuji view by the window!

Great hostel! Most people staying there that I spoke to were climbing Mt Fuji via the Yoshida trail so the staff were very helpful with that, and there’s loads of information on their board about it (although little info on the other trails so if you’re doing another one like I did then make sure to research about it beforehand).

Customer service is on top of the chart. I arrived late and the owners were extremely helpful with everything. They even helped me with registration of Mt. Fuji hiking. Will definitely be back and stay at this hostel again. They are full of knowledge and experience of the area. The owner even converses with us while staying there. It is really good place to stay.
