Hostels in TokaiHostel

Like someone else mentioned, it's the best hostel stay I have experienced so far in the years.

Magnificent. Owners are soft spoken and polite, rarely seen but appear immediately when summoned by the bell at reception.
Immaculate location with a beautiful rooftop terrace view of Fuji.

The building is old, the floor are VERY squeaky, but it's beautiful. The staff are friendly and explain everything, the other guests are generally nice and you can make new friends.

My 2-night stay at K’s House Ito Onsen was wonderful. The traditional shared room and common area were great with a nice view of the river.

If you are considering booking on this hostel, please just go for it. Just to clarify, more than a hostel, this is a traditional Japanese guesthouse run by Mikiko (the owner/hostess) she is just

The best traditional hotel we've ever stayed in, perhaps the best hotel of any style! If you're lucky enough to book it, do it with your eyes closed.

18 to 19 March 2026 (1 night)
We stayed at room 201.
Best Ryokan next to Mt Fuji station.
Very nice and friendly host Mr Satoshi.

I spent one night in this hostel. The owner is very welcoming. She explained the places to visit nearby and rented me a bike to go to the lake.

Traditional house next from the bus/train station. The living room is very cosy, nice kitchen, very clean, the room is big with A/C and heater. The staff is very helpful and kind.

I love how cozy it is and the room gives you a Japanese feel with how the interiors are designed. I also love that they have complimentary coffee abd tea. The staff was amazing!

Wonderful stay here and host is amazing.
Kawaguchiko lake is 10-15 minute by walking and others places also nearby.
You can drink free water and black coffee and tea unlimited as well.

Wonderful place to stay, Masaya was a great host, speaks excellent English, attentive and friendly. I would stay here again! There are some restaurants nearby as well as a convenience store.

One of the most amazing stays I have had anywhere! Everything was so clean and comfortable and the owner was the nicest man ever!

I had the best stay here!

Kinoya Hostel was a warm and inviting Ryokan on the two occasions I visited. Both times I was staying with one other friend, we got to try two different rooms.

An absolutely wonderful, small and authentic place to stay, away from the usual tourist areas in Japan.

Best location for a reset before we headed to Tokyo. Ride a bike around the village. Visit the salt makers. Go to the cafe. Visit the fish co-op.

Very stylish place with great waterfront view. Largely friendly staff but could improve. Sleepy but excellent town for our one-night stopover.

First, you have the stunning design of the house, nestled in the heart of the forest, peaceful and refined in that uniquely Japanese way.

The most beautifully restful stay. The food is incredible and such a treat (7, 000 yen for a multi course tasting menu! ). Amazing ambience and hospitality — we felt super zen and cosy.

Brilliant location — very close to the train and bus stations — and all the major sightseeing points are within a 10-30 min walk. They have umbrellas available for free, laundry is 500 yen.

Lovely place, not to be confused with an actual ryokan.

Fantastic stay here. We had a family room with a private bathroom. We enjoyed the shared lounge with books and retro gaming. Comfortable room, very clean, and friendly.

My first experience staying at a guest house in Takayama was wonderful. The location was a bit of a long walk from the railway station with two children and language barriers.

I had a lovely and memorable stay at this accommodation. It offers a relaxing, cozy, and warm vibe that makes you feel right at home.

If I could give higher rating I would. The place that the owner almost build himself is cosy, clean, well placed and you feel like home. The host is the most fun, kind and giving host I have ever had.

I stayed for 5 nights at Hostel Knot, drawn in by the stunning natural surroundings and the peaceful vibes reflected in the photos.

I had an absolutely fantastic stay! The hostel was very well kept and cozy, all the staff were so lovely and helpful.

I spent 4 nights. I met some nice people from Himeji, Kumamoto Thailand and other cities. Clean, comfortable and friendly.

This hotel was right next to the station and in perfect distance to get around Ise. The inside atmosphere was very clean and cozy, with lots of spaces to hang out as well as a bar upstairs.

It’s a good place to sleep and travel in the next morning.
It’s really clean and fresh guest house.

I stayed here in October a few years ago and it was incredibly comfortable and quiet.

Chill vibes, employees are cool and they speak some English if you need it. They give great recommendations on things to do in the Ito peninsula. Get the breakfast, it’s amazing.

They have a nice foods, and the room was si clean, all staf was so friendly.

This is the one of the best hostel I’ve ever stayed. Even the location is not closed to the big city but it still makes me feel so good because it’s so relaxing and peaceful.

Fantastic and well-located hostel. Traditional Japanese style beds. Nice facilities. Owner is lovely and very helpful. 7 minute walk to station and 1 minute to convenience store.

A lovely place to stay. It is beautifully decorated and very calm and clean. There is also parking available.
The owners are so sweet and helpful.

For us everything was great! Staff are very friendly. Cute interior, very clean and well maintained. Very good place to stay. And we had a great price room for family.

We spent three nights at this accommodation and had the best time. The owner was incredibly friendly, and everything was very clean.

It was a wonderful stay even though the weather wasn't so good. The owner is a fantastic person. I highly recommend this place.

I have just spent three weeks at Michael's hostel. It is my third visit. Michael and his wife Kazuko are the best hosts, knowledgable of the area and very helpful to your needs.

Loved our stay! Rooms were clean and quiet. Free coffee and tea. The hostel helped me get my bag back from a restaurant after hours — so helpful. Thank you so much! Highly recommend.

Wonderful place to stay, couldn't see where it was to find it.
Staff is polite and friendly.
We managed to do our laundry for 200 yen a load, you just have to hang it out to dry in the sun.

Saruya Hostel is located on the main street in Fuhiyoshida, offering a stunning view of Mount Fuji (the famous landmark in the photos). This was our first stay at such a place.

Had an unforgettable stay at Hostel Fujisan YOU. First of all, the location. It's located centrally in Fujiyoshida, about a 5 minute walk from Mt. Fuji station.

Just like home away from home.
We had a great experience overall. The hostel is perfectly located—just a short walk from the local train station and with stunning views of Mt. Fuji on clear days.

I had a wonderful stay at this hostel and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.
Machiko, the owner, is such a kind, warm, and lovely person.

We had a very nice stay at this hostel. Facilities were very clean and well maintained. We had a lovely hostess who helped us around finding the right bus/train and waved us goodbye.
