Fuji-Hakone Guest House

Lovely place, rooms were amazing. Really clean and comfortable. Onsen was very nice. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. Would recommend and wouldn't hesitate to go back if I ever come back to japan even as a solo traveller.

This spot was absolutely superb. Family owned for 40 years and everything about our stay was exceptional. The facilities were clean, the accomodations were good, and the staff - specifically Ted was so kind and helpful. If you decide to stay here, I would definitely take advantage of the shuttle options and reservations in town for dinner. It can get incredibly cold at night and the free shuttle pick up to and from dinner was a life saver. The onsets were great - both an indoor and an outdoor location.

Very nice onsen, and close to a bus stop and dining options. The host had very good english and was gracious and friendly and had suggestions for what to do. The baths themselves were clean, and the rates were reasonable. It’s not a super crowded place either, I think there were only maybe a dozen people staying in our wing. They will also bring your bags to the station for a fee or shuttle you to one of the nearby restaurants for free. We did not try the breakfast, but it looked reasonable- fruit, toast, jam, cereal, eggs, and something hot.

Great place to be. Easy to find, close to bus station. Tattoos allowed. I really appreciate the possibility to book private onsen for 30 min whenever possible. Ted made a very good job, very nice breakfast for 1100yen. Perfect cleaning

it was a very nice stay. The manager is very welcoming and easy to talk to. The room was comfortable and enjoyable, and the hotsprings were very nice too. For people that are staying for longer, there is also washing and drying machine (+detergent you can buy at the front). Hotsprings are private so they’re tattoo friendly.

You can private book the onsen Tattoos allowed. Great guest house, Ted the owner is super friendly and helpful. Great place to stay with close proximity to bus stop to get around easy.

My wife and I stayed two nights here and had a lovely time. Highly recommended for western travelers, as the owners are very friendly and all speak English. The two baths are private and easy for guests to reserve. Location is very convenient for traveling around Hakone. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. We tried to chat with them whenever we saw them, and pet their adorable dog Laito whenever he was around. The room we stayed in was a traditional Japanese style. Very spacious with a sink and small TV. It was rather cold in the room (single pane windows, middle of Nov) but heat up quicky with the gas heater. They have two onsen that can be reserved for 30-min at a time. The indoor bath fee is included in the reservation, and the outdoor bath can be reserved for 500 yen. Both baths are private, so guests with tattoos are ok. We didn’t have any trouble with reserving. At time of booking they said on the website that they do not offer meals, but they do offer breakfast and/or coffee at an additional charge. They have instant noodles for sale at the reception desk as well. Instant coffee and green tea powder is also free to use, and there is a vending machine with water, tea, and beer just outside. It’s also very conveniently located. Bus lines to Togendai and Odawara pick up right outside the guesthouse, and is also walking distance to several restaurants and a few convenience stores. They offered to call to reserve tables at some restaurants and offered a shuttle service, but we did not use this service during our stay. Please consider them if you plan on staying overnight in Hakone.

I highly recommend this guest house - the staff are some of the nicest I’ve ever met. The accommodation itself is fantastic, with a great onsen. The location is perfect too - with amenities nearby but also away from the hustle and bustle of cities - for a well needed retreat!
