    The people who run the Guest House Tokiwa are extremely nice and polite. It was very easy to check-in and very close to Fujinomiya Station. Loved their family dog too.

    Nothing - sad to leave.

    The friendly and clean atmosphere! Very homely and fantastic location, which is right next to the train and bus station, so it is easy to use the public transport or walk. The owner is very welcoming, and he has the cutest toy poodle, who is very smart! There is a shared fridge, eating area, toilet, shower, and laundry. Fantastic stay. Thank you

    Overall me and my family are delighted. Four of us stay in a very comfortable house. The host is so helpful and friendly. The facilities inside was excellent. The bed was excellent. The toilet and bathroom is separated make it very convenient for family. The cleanliness of the house is superb. If we come back to Fuji, this is definitely our first choice.

    Super comfortable, cozy, clean, cute property, in a great location right next to a station with trains and buses. The owner is fantastic and most days can take guests on a trip, depending on the season (lake view of Fuji, shiraito falls, etc). And his dog is super cute! Private room was very comfortable and spacious, and had a glimpse of Fuji from the window (if it isn’t cloudy). Overall, great place to stay and in a great town with views of Fuji all over.

    I knew this when I booked, but my only small complaints are: late check-in times and the rooms aren't 100% soundproof. With that said, if you're a traveler on a budget or are just looking for something more homey and welcoming, then I'd recommend staying at Guest House Tokiwa.

    Guest House Tokiwa is a charming property for those who are looking to stay in Fujinomiya on a budget, or are looking to experience something more "hostel-like." Daisuke and Daruma were awesome and welcoming. English friendly. Staff/Owner lives in building, so if you ever need help with something, they're available. The location is walking distance to a lot of restaurants and famous sightseeing locations, as well as the train station. If you're driving, the property offers a private parking space. I can see myself staying here again in the future.

    Daisuke and Daruma were very sweet hosts, who helped us with everything we needed. Our room vas spacious, comfortable, clean and had a beautiful view of Mt. Fuji, which was great enough but on top of that Daisuke offered to drive all the guests to lake Tanuki see Mt. Fuji exactly at sunrise. Magical!

    Great price, great accommodation, great location!

    I wanted to arrive in Fujinomiya a day before I climb Fuji but I didn't want to shell out a lot for a one-night stay. I'm REALLY glad I was able to get a room at Guesthouse Tokiwa. PRICE: It is one of the most affordable accommodations in the area. It was well worth it since I was only going to stay in Fujinomiya for less than 24 hours. LOCATION: The bus terminal and the train station are a few minutes away on foot. Explore the area on foot and you'd find convenience stores, a gigantic AEON Mall (on the other side of the train station), a big drugstore/supermarket. Mt. Fuji World Heritage Center and Sengen Taisha are also within walking distance. There are a number of food places around the area but they seemed to close early. ROOM: The room was good enough for one person. There's plenty of space for luggage in case you need to organize your stuff. There's also an alcove/recess by the window, which you can probably use to put your luggage/backpack on. It has all the basic things needed for a room. STAFF: Daisuke is a really warm and friendly guy. He's very welcoming and helpful with giving information. He also speaks English. OTHER STUFF: The shared bathroom and kitchen are typical of what you will find in a Japanese home. At the time of my stay, there were only a few guests so I don't know how busy the kitchen and the bathroom gets. NOTES: - He has a cute dog named "Daruma", who's friendly. If you're a bit scared of dogs, please take note that a cute little do will probably welcome you when you arrive at the guesthouse. - Check in is at 6PM but you can leave your stuff at the guesthouse before check in. Just inform Daisuke. - The room I stayed in was right by the entrance. It has sliding doors. Dark curtains may be drawn for privacy. Guests at the time of my stay were considerate so I didn't really hear a lot of noise from them. Just take note that you may hear people talking outside of the room.

    The room was very comfy. The host Daisuke was exceedingly nice. When I told him about my wet shoes he immediately gave my a device to dry my shoes. We forgot our toothbrush too, Daisuke was kind enough to send it back to my home place in Osaka.

    Daisuke and his cute dog were great hosts! It is a welcoming home. The room was comfortable and clean. Daisuke provided a hiking map, bus information, and really made me feel prepared for my Mt. Fuji hike the next day The location is great as it’s 5 min from a 7/11 and 2 minutes from the bus station to get to Fujinomiya 5th Station for the start of the hike I had forgotten my charging block and Daisuke had one for me to borrow, that was very kind!! There’s a common area with hot water, tea, coffee, etc I luckily caught the host as he was heading out so I could drop off my bag. He gave some great recommendations for places to eat and visit while I waited for the 6pm check in
