"Mountain Squirrel Hostel" is a renovated traditional Japanese house (KOMINKA), located at the foot of Mount Fuji. It is within a 5-10 minute walk from both Shimoyoshida Station and the high-speed bus stop, so you can easily reach here from Tokyo.
Around the hostel, there is the famous "Chureito" known for Mt. Fuji and the five-story pagoda, as well as the "Honcho Street" which has recently become a famoude photo spot.
Please note:
◯ This accommodation is in a residential area. Please be mindful of neighbors (the houses are spaced apart, minimizing potential issues).
◯ On the south side, there is a historic temple "Fukugen-ji" with a cemetery. The absence of tall buildings nearby allows unobstructed views of Mount Fuji—we hope you can enjoy your stay without concern.
As a local guide for Mount Fuji and Fujiyoshida, I’m happy to provide travel tips, hiking advice, or tour recommendations!
Perfect for friend groups or family trips—make "Mountain Squirrel Hostel" your basecamp for exploring Fuji’s foothills.
Wishing you a memorable stay!
