Strengths & Weaknesses

Minshuku Kobayashi SAMURISE Mt.Fuji
Strengths Strengths
+ Overwhelming Mount Fuji view right from the window. Many say waking up to the mountain first thing is the best + Many reviews praise the convenient location, 5-10 min walk from Kawaguchiko Station
+ Owner grandma couple's kindness stands out. Shuttles to station/onsen and spot recommendations repeatedly mentioned + Shared bathrooms and showers are clean with daily maintenance noted repeatedly
+ Spacious clean tatami rooms in a quiet rural atmosphere + Self check-in is easy and unmanned operation works fine
+ Heater keeps it warm even in cold weather + Shared kitchen facilities like microwave and fridge are useful
Weaknesses Weaknesses
- Without a car, 30-min bus from station with early last bus is inconvenient - Rooms are small and thin walls let noise through in several reviews
- Showers/toilets in main house, inconvenient for annex stays - Bunk beds or tatami mattresses feel uncomfortable and hard
- Some find tatami beds too hard - Winter heating is weak and shared slippers bother some
