Free WiFi is available throughout the property and private parking is available on site. The accommodation features a lift, a shared kitchen and luggage storage for guests.

This is the best hotel I’ve ever stayed at. So affordable and the beds in the dorm feels super big. It’s quiet and a very relaxing atmosphere. The staff were absolutely amazing and helped me get around, reserve dinner at restaurants and so on. Highly recommend! The Hakone free pass bus stops right outside. The onsen is also very nice. There’s also a 7/11 3 mins away which came in handy. Also the kitchen has so many supplies! So many different teas. Best place to relax after busy Tokyo

We stayed in a bedroom not the dorms and I must say they were perfect for our purpose. If I come back I will be staying here again!

Each room at this guest house is air conditioned and is fitted with a flat-screen TV. You will find a kettle in the room. The rooms are fitted with a private bathroom with a bath and bidet, with slippers and free toiletries provided.

The room is very spacious and clean. We like the fresh air here. We had booked a 3-night stay and visited Hakone and Kamakura areas on 2 separate days. Weather was not on our side and we were kind of disappointed not being able to see Mt.Fuji in the 2 days. To our great delight, the owner Nori-san offered to drive us to nearby spots to view Mt Fuji and the Mt Halone. We took pictures and videos of the majestic Mt. Fuji. That made our day and perfected our Hakone trip! Thank you Nori-san for the extra mile!

    This was the best accommodation during our Japan-Trip. Everything is so beautifully designed, the hosts must be very keen on design. It‘s closed to the city center so you can easily stroll around the town. It was very clean. The Appartement has a welcoming, warmhearted atmosphere and is stylish at the same time. I wish the host my very best for the future! If we will return for a Japan-Trip Hakone and HAKO REIRO are on our bucket list. Thank you especially for the games, we appreciated them very much.

    The geniune friendliness and hospitality. This guest house is peaceful and lovely. The rooms are traditional Japanese, with tatami mats and futons, clean and honest. There is a tea/coffee station, and it is clearly a favourite destination for travellers, new and returning. The hosts are very helpful and kind. And the onsen! A perfect stay to offset more modern-style hotels in bigger cities.

    Great location and lovely to have room to spread out. The air con was nice and cool in the humid summer heat. A quiet little neighbourhood. Excellent communication with the host, thank you. Just to note, if you have bags you may wish to get a taxi from the train station, as there is a steep uphill part of the walk there. We found the walk fine without bags and very picturesque as you walk across two bridges over the rivers.

    We had a fantastic stay at Hakone Guesthouse. The host was incredibly lovely and offered to drive us to Hakone Gora Park on our first day. The host also spoke very good English. The rooms were capsule-style and very clean. The other guests were very quiet and respectful. The location was fairly convenient - a 30 minute walk to Gora Station and close by buses that are serviced by the Hakone Free Pass.

    The double bed capsule was super spacious and really cheap at under 20£ a night. The hostel staff were very friendly and helpful in answering all my questions about sightseeing. Nice and quiet at night and free tea and coffee was a bonus!

    I love this little guest house. It was right very close to one of the best modern sushi restaurants I've been to. The host was amazingly helpful and very very friendly. It's quite small but it's very quaint and cute. The room is quite big though for what we needed. It is Japanese style so beds on the floor which were comfy and warm.

    The host was a very nice, smiley and kind person. She was very clear and punctual in the explanations about the stay, and she was also giving me many advices on what to visit in Hakone. Her hostel is a lovely, traditional guest house. I felt like in one of those Japanese movies that I was watching when I was little. It was also super clean and cozy. Kana also offers hot/cold free drinks, and a fridge to leave your stuff. The neighbours is quiet and peaceful. I totally recommend!
