Hostel Knot

Very calm atmosphere, great location. Bed was a little hard but otherwise lovely!

Beautiful and quiet location, worthy to give it a couple of nights to really settle in, experience mountain life, enjoy nice walks in the nature around. Great traditional restaurant and teahouse options. Give time to interact with the locals who run their business here, great to slow down. I found authentic and very nice people, creative and who promote tradition in this area. I loved every detail in the hostel, the mountain style, the jackets and the free authentic onsen. The staff was very helpful, kind and nice, made me feel at home. Thanks a lot for all your tips and the good talks! If you want to do more and feel like exploring, you can take the bus to Shuzenji city, great real and local options for restaurants, local shopping mall...only for adventure travelers ;) and then with the train, you can go to Mishima for example, is a nice big city to experience real japanese life, restaurants and the beautiful Shrine. Bonus, you can see Fuji san from the train If the day is clear!

I enjoyed everything here.

Staff were lovely, even contacted me on whatsapp to warning me they were closing at 6pm (at around 5pm as we were running late), sent me onsen info on whatsapp. Super clean room and bathrooms, nice communal space.

Only minor things but there was a bit of mould in the bathroom and the curtains in the single room didn't do much to keep out any light

Location, private room was available, proximity to everything in the town.

Staff were helpful until we checked out and kind of took an awkward abrupt turn.
