Boasting an open-air bath and views of mountain, Onsen Guest House Tsutaya is a recently renovated ryokan situated in Hakone, 6.5 km from Hakone-Yumoto Station. 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.

Possibly the best hostel I have ever stayed - though that word doesn’t do it justice! Onsen and all common spaces were beautiful, the kitchen was the best appointed I’ve ever seen with everything from cooking sake to coffee beans and grinders, staff were helpful. It’s a bit out of the way of things but that makes for a really peaceful atmosphere.

At the guest house guests are welcome to take advantage of a hot spring bath. Guests at Onsen & Garden -Asante Inn- will be able to enjoy activities in and around Gora, like hiking.

Beautiful property, beautiful area, very relaxing private onsen and wonderful staff. A nice breakfast to be enjoyed in the morning as well. The rooms are super comfortable and spacious. The staff are super friendly, the owner (I think) even drove us to one of the stations as we were leaving, we had far too much luggage at this point in our trip and it was challenging for us.

The staff were very helpful and accommodating during our stay. Our cozy little attic bedroom was clean and very comfy to sleep in despite the cold autumn weather <3 The shared facilities were clean and the common area nice and lively!

A 3-minute bus ride from Hakone Yumoto Station, GuestHouse Azito is set within a Japanese-style main building with Japanese-style rooms. It features an annex, open since March 2017. Free WiFi is available throughout the property. There is also an on-site bar, where guests can unwind and enjoy drinks and light meals.

The staff were very friendly; the beds were cosy, comfortable and large. The lockers were also big and there were toiletries available in the shower. They gave good advice on where to eat and which onsen were tattoo friendly. It's a really funky hostel and I loved it.

At the guest house, the modern restaurant is open for dinner and lunch and specialises in international cuisine. The guest house is located in a geothermal area, with a number of hot springs nearby for guests to relax in.

Location was easy to find from the bus we took from the train station. The hostel was exactly what we wanted, and the staff were incredibly friendly and easy to get a long with. They directed us to the nearest Onsen that would be open late, and lent us some bicycles so we could cycle there through the peaceful town. The on-site bar was one of the nicest i've been in and the cocktails were excellent, we had to try every option available. The owner and bar staff were great fun and we had a great evening with their hospitality. We wish we could have stayed another night! Good transport connections to the local attractions, and the owner made some excellent suggestions on where we should visit. Could not recommend the place more. A highlight of our trip for sure and we wish everyone at Root Hakone the best.

The beds were mats on the floor and were very comfortable. We used the onsen during our stay which was a lovely experience. We recommend a stay here. The staff were very helpful and kind.

    The location was brilliant and although the hostel was very close to the station, it was very quiet at night. The onsen was much appreciated after a long day of walking. We loved the restaurant - the dinner was amazing and staff very helpful.

    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!
