Beautiful scenery and view. The staff is lovely and the atmosphere with the other guests is great. The commune room has a beautiful antique wooden floor and views on the forest! We stayed in a tatami room and it was clean and felt very homely.

K's was a very budget-friendly option for our family of four. It was a fun experience staying in the traditional Japanese room, but we did opt for an private bathroom. I didn't realise at the time of booking that the shower facilities were still shared, but this wasn't a problem (and even a bit quicker having 2 showers to use between us vs having one in our bathroom). Futons were fine to sleep on. The view from the shared lounge area was gorgeous, and so were the surrounds. It is a little bit of a walk, and the hill is really steep, so catch the bus if you can! This was really the only downside of the property we thought - that it is a moderate way out of town, so make use of the property's free umbrella loan if you might be trekking back in the rain!! We didn't use the onsen, unfortunately, so I can't add anything further on that. It was lovely to be able to grab a brewed coffee during the morning (0730-100, I think, but I don't know why you would still be inside at 1100 rather than getting out to experience the stunning Hakone area!).

Nice staff, clean and have free green tea and coffee. However there is no private bathroom in our room. The property is up the hill and very difficult to walk up with luggage. The bus runs every half hour from 7:30-8:00 am and then every hour after that. You have to call taxi after dinner near station.

Very nice hostel for families. Beautiful surroundings, quiet, clean, well supplied kitchen and nice common areas. The staff were very pleasant and helpful snd we enjoyed using the onsen. It’s a bit off the beaten path so be ready to walk or take transportation to get to restaurants and sightseeing locations.

Fantastic Stay
We loved our 2 night stay. Our ensuite room was clean, quiet and very comfortable in an excellent location. We really liked the Japanese feel with the mats on the floor and the roll out futon. Both inside and outside onsens were fantastic and a perfect temperature. The freshly made coffee in the mornings were really appreciated. Staff were very friendly, efficient and really helpful. Thank you.

The receptionist are nice and helpful, if you need any travel and transport information please don't hesitate to ask help from them. The outdoor onsen was nice and relaxing . For those person who decide to walk there from hakone yumoto station ,think again cause that place are not so far but you might need to pass by the slope road to get there.

Hakone stay
It’s can get a bit of rowdy when you see too many people in the pantry, its convenience though where you can cook or heat up the food you have. Fridge is centralised for all to use. Just that it’s located up on the hill and when it’s raining, be prepared to get drenched when you are walking to Hakone Yumoto station.

The best hostel with an onsen! Super clean, well kept, and friendly staff. The outdoor onsen was the best day to end the night. I would definitely come back to stay here again. The distance from the station to the hostel was a bit steep of a walk but provides good exercise. Super close to the bus stops as well.

A great stopover for visiting the Hakone Area, a quick bus ride from Bus stop 4 takes you there within 10 minutes, and there's a shortcut back to Hakone Yuumoto Station for hikers which makes it a convenient place to stay,
