- Lydia (9/5): - L'ambiance d'une maison traditionnelle.
Les chambres avec tatamis et table basse.

- Patricia (10/5): Tradicional - La esencia japonesa Escaleras un poco estrechas
- Victoria (10/5): A unique type of stay for those who want to touch some Japanese history and beautiful culture. - Absolutely unique experience of Japanese culture. We stayed in a beautiful house where the walls witnessed the history. We slept on futon beds to wake up in the morning for seeing magnificent mount Fuji from our windows. We drank the water coming from the mount. We explored the surroundings with short walks from the house taking us to some amazing places from where we could admire the mighty Fuji, the lakes, the beautiful town Kawaguchiko. We enjoyed every moment of our stay.

- Bethania (9/5): Cálido hospedaje tradicional ☺️ - Fue muy lindo ser recibidas en Wafu al llegar al hermoso Fuji Kawaguchiko. Solo nos quedamos una noche y todo estuvo muy bien, la señora que nos recibió fue muy amable, desde la habitación se veía el monte Fuji. El hostel tiene un espacio compartido muy bonito y tradicional, donde te podes probar yukata y escribir en kanji. Las instalaciones funcionales y cálidas. La ubicación está muy buena, cerca de la estación. Algo a destacar, dejamos nuestro equipaje hasta más tarde que el horario de check out, y como nos olvidamos de avisar, dejamos una carta, la señora nos respondió con una carta muy adorable y unos caramelos de despedida. Recomendamos!
- PEI JU (9/5): - 能兩點入住很加分,空間及設施都很乾淨,離車站也很近,推薦推薦 隔音不太好
- Aleksander (10/5): -
- Milena (10/5): -
- Juliette (10/5): -
- Stephanie (9/5): - L'atmosfera tipicamente giapponese è molto coinvolgente
Graditissima la stanza con Kimono e origami a disposizione dei ospiti
La stanza è ampia e pulita
Anche gli spazi comuni sono molto ampi
Staff attento e gentile Pavimenti in legno dei corridoi rumorosi
Zona docce piuttosto umida
- duangporn (8/5): - พนักงานให้ความช่วยเหลือดีมากแนะนำให้ข้อมูลดี อาหารเช้าเรียบง่ายแจ้งขอให้ตั้งเสิร์ฟก่อนเวลาได้ มีน้ำดื่มจากภูเขาฟูจิให้ดื่มฟรีได้ทุกวัน ไม่มี
- Jemma (8/5): - The guesthouse is set up really well, with washing/dryer, kitchen, shared toilets and showers, as well as lovely loving space and 'experience' room where you can try oragami and calligraphy. The owner/staff member was so lovely and welcoming. Its also a fun experience to try Japanese style rooms for the first time.
Location is great, amazing view and close to the lake for exploring (we hired bikes easily and spent the day cycling) Its an old guesthouse so you hear everything - the floors are creaky, the walls are thin etc. Our neighbours didn't really understand that - hairdryer at midnight?!? (Maybe move the hairdryer downstairs so away from guest rooms?)
So its not a place for a lie in, but since most are hoping for a clear sunrise for Fuji, I would still recommend and just hope other guests are more courteous
- Abhishek (10/5): -
- Julian (10/5): -
- Margaret Mary (9/5): Excellent service for the cost. Lovely common area and very spacious room. Very helpful staff -
- Alberto (10/5): Recomendable - La ubicación y la amabilidad del personal
Muy buena relación calidad precio Me gustó todo
- solene (10/5): - L emplacement, le rapport qualite prix (tres abordable). Les murs sont fins . ( ce qui est normal pour ce type d hebergement).
- Mervin (10/5): - Traditional aesthetics
- Maite (10/5): Great hotel. Totally recommend it - Perfect stay for few days while exploring kawaguchiko. 5’ away from the station. Another 5’ walk to the lake.
Clean and beautiful hotel. The fact that hotel staff would come into our room to clean while we were having breakfast. I dont mind having them cleaning but may be with a permission from us would be nicer. They could let you know at the beginning that someone will come into the room to clean it up so we would be prepared and not get back to the room and find someone there who does not speak English.
- Felicitas (10/5): -

- NILGÜN (10/5): - Alles war top. Wir wären gerne länger geblieben.
Können mit guten Gewissen weiter empfehlen Alles
- Mathilde (9/5): -
- Noga (10/5): - וואו ! מקום מטורף, בית יפני עתיק ומדהים ביופיו, לא האמנתי למראה עיניי. ממליצה לכל אחד לחוות אותו , המארחים מדהימים, דוברי אנגלית . הבית מצויד בכל מה שצריך , קפה , תה , מטבח ונותן הרגשה קסומה של בית. נקי מאוד, מקלחות נהדרות ושירותים מקסימים, הנוף להר הפוג׳י מטורף, בנוסף יש איזור עישון במרפסת למי שמעוניין. כלום
- Janina (10/5): Totale Empfehlung - Wir hatten einen wirklich tollen Aufenthalt in dem guesthouse. Es war wirklich schön in einem solchen Haus schlafen zu können. Die Schlafmatte ist natürlich härter als in einem regulären Bett aber es war total okay. Es war super sauber und es gab sogar ein kleines kostenloses Frühstück.
- helene (10/5): - Une maison traditionnelle, à proximité de la gare et pas très loin du téléphérique pour admirer le mont Fuji. Les dames sont adorables, le plus le petit déjeuner offert.
- Thu Trang (10/5): -
- Yuqin (10/5): -
- Ian (9/5): Nice traditional accommodation in great location - Perfect location close to the train/bus station. Clean, quiet and has a fully equipped shared kitchen. Coffee station & basic breakfast (bead,jam,butter) to start in the morning. What we enjoyed the most was the room where you can do origami & calligraphy. Totally normal for a ryokan style accommodation but shared areas are a bit cold and futons are a little hard.
- ELVINA (9/5): I will stay here if I need a place to stay next visit - It is near to the station and Kawaguchi lake None
- Bir (10/5): - Loved it, the hosts were great
- Michele (10/5): - Personnel incroyablement gentil, superbe chambre avec vue sur le Mont Fuji, avec un espace commun très chaleureux. Rien
- Alice (10/5): Fantastic value for money stay. Would absolutely recommend and will be sure to stay with you again when next visiting th - Lovely, traditional property that is well looked after and very clean. Great shared facilities. The staff were so kind and welcoming which we really appreciated! Location couldn’t be better, just an easy five minute walk from the main Kawaguchiko station. Nothing.
- Emily (10/5): -
- Diana Carla (10/5): I would 100% recommend Wafu Guesthouse!!! - 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!!! Very friendly and approachable. Also, it was raining during my last day, but luckily, the guesthouse had free calligraphy, origami and kimono-fitting. I wasn't bored at all and got to try something new. Maybe the shower wall had black marking but that was super minimal. Also, one of the showers took a bit of time to adjust to hot water. But again, super minimal.
- Yujou (9/5): - 早餐麵包量有點少.可以加個水煮蛋更好.地點離河口湖車站近.離湖.超市也不遠.環境清潔 廚房提供的不沾鍋子有刮痕.應該要換掉了.畢竟是有開放廚房讓旅人使用.
- Marcos Vinícius (9/5): -
- Yuet Mei (10/5): - The location is quite near to the Kawaguchiko Station, a cute little traditional Japanese house.
- S. G. (10/5): Thank you! - The lady at the reception is very kind and provides a lot of information. I like old houses, here I felt like I was in a museum. I slept very well. From my room I could see Mount Fuji!
- Emelyn (7/5): - Very close to the station, the tatami bed was surprisingly comfy! Morning view was a clear Mount Fuji for me, absolutely worth it Floors are really creaky so if you’re a light sleeper might wanna consider that
- Rihards (10/5): -
- Tri gita (10/5): - Ryokan Nothin
- Laway (10/5): -
- Lisa Maria (10/5): Incroyable séjour ! Je recommande à 200% - Malheureusement je n’y suis restée qu’une nuit mais j’aurai souhaité y rester plus longtemps !
Une très belle maison, de belles chambres japonaises avec tatamis et futons, des espaces communs charmants, une zone fumeur sur le balcon, une grande cuisine, mais surtout une DOUCHE JAPONAISE 😍 en tant que fan d’animés j’étais absolument ravie d’en essayer une ! Les douches normales sont également à disposition!
Le personnel est très gentil, la dame qui m’a accueille ma tour bien expliqué dans les moindres détails afin que je soit à l’aise et m’a donné quelques conseils pour mon séjour (elles ont toutes les bonnes adresses dont un voyageur à besoin !)
Et puis la pièce d’expérience … une agréable surprise ! Je ne m’y attendais pas du tout et j’ai passé une bonne soirée à essayer d’écrire ahahah
Merci beaucoup pour ce séjour, je reviendrai avec grand plaisir ! Rien ! J’ai tout adoré
- Dolsaporn (9/5): -
- Jennifer (10/5): Best stay I ever had!! - The property felt right like home
It is amazing. You have a general shared area where you can eat and meet other people and also try japanese calligraphy or origami
There‘s also a kitchen you can use which is amazing, as well as the included breakfast and tea/coffee
My room had an amazing view of mt fuji and was very cosy with heaters and a futon bed.
the house itself is an old japanese house which is amazing to be in and be at peace with oneself
If you‘re ever planing to stay at least one night in kawaguchiko consider this the perfect place to be!
To the staff:
Thank you so much for the lovely stay! I couldn‘t imagine a better stay in the whole town I loved everything!!!

- Vivian (7/5): Japanese guesthouse with shared facilities - I had a private room in Japanese style tatami with a futon. Facilities were clean and it felt like staying in a traditional Japanese home. Futon was hard and a little uncomfortable. Sound travels easily if someone is walking to the toilet.
