"It is a climb to get to this hostel but staying there was better than I expected! The staff were friendly and showed me the courtesies of the onsen, beautiful view on Hakone from there balconies, and much more comfortable stay than I thought"

Very nice, clean hotel in the charming Gora neighborhood and although it is right next to the train station you will never hear the crowds or the train. The staff is very friendly and speak excellent English. Our private room for 4 with private bath was roomy for our family of 2 adults and 2 teens. The breakfast for 800 yen is quite good and the onsen is clean and therapeutic!

I have stayed in my fair number of hostels and guesthouses in Japan and this is my new favourite. The atmosphere was so nice, offering like family dinner traditional cooked and eaten together, is a beautifully maintained traditional property. Location was perfect and I highly reccomend, couple hundred metres from the 2nd last stop on the train up (lawson also at the station) and the bus to head down the opposite way is also only 600-700metres away (also 7/11 there). It made for an easy escape...
