Kawaguchiko in Minamitsura district of Yamanashi prefecture K's House

Kawaguchiko township is located about 25 kilometers north of Mt. Fuji. The town has a good view of Mt. Fuji.

The trains to Kawaguchiko from Tokyo starts at the Shinjuku station. One or two transfers are required and the trip by train takes about 2.75 hours.

K's House Mt Fuji (hostel) is a highly rated hostel. It has free Wi-Fi if you bring your own computer. Well kept rooms including WC lounge and guest kitchen. I highly recommend this place.

It's located at 6713-108, Funatsu, Fujikawaguchiko-machi, Minamitsuru-gun, Yamanashi, 401-0301. Tel: 555-83-5556.

Good views of the Mt Fuji and wild monkeys are on the north side of the Lake Kawaguchiko.

I took the bus leaving Kawaguchiko train station back to Tokyo (Shinagawa train station). The bus is lower priced than the train but takes about 3.5 hours.
