Nice place with traditional feeling. Really sympathetic owners who really take care of you. Onsen both indoors + outdoors a big plus. We really loved the home-like cosy and friendly atmosphere and would love to return here one day.

“After busy days in Tokyo, my stay in the guesthouse gave me the peace and calmness I wished for.”

I felt warmly welcome by Tizio-ted and his mother and father. Whatever questions I had (where to go, which bus, where to get what), they answered for me. I asked for a quiet room and got a quiet room facing the garden. I loved my quiet time in the outdoor onsen in the evening.

“Amazing location and onsen, will definitely come back”

Very nice japanese experience, the host was very friendly and welcoming. The room was clean and cozy, the facilities were great. We really enjoyed the private onsen.

“Lovely guest house with private onsen outside and inside.”

This Guest House was beyond our expecations. It was so warm, welcoming and cozy. The beds were absolutely comfortable while you were cuddled under a huge blanket that kept you warm. It was quiet and we rarely heard other guests. They had a lot of instructions and informations to get to nearby Sightseeing spots like the Ropeways, Ship fare times, routes for a day trip, etc. The Yukata's they provided were comfortable and because it was winter, they even provided a thicker Yukata coat. We really enjoyed the natural outside onsen as it was very spacy and just gave such a relaxing vibe in the evening after long day walking. I had some tattoos but it wasn't a problem since you book time slots for the onsens which make it as if it's a private onsen. The hosts were a lovely family and we can only recommend a stay here!

We had a very nice sized room with a view of bamboo and small stream. Our host were wonderful and so helpful.

“true japanese flavor!”

This is the place to stay for a truly Japanese experience. You can use inside and outside onsen. The host is extremely helpful, Thank you Ted.

“We hope to return.”

Outstanding hospitality, excellent local knowledge, very organised. Very spacious tatami twin with very comfortable beds. Location great for bus access and near to Susuki Grassfields.

“Our favourite stay in Japan”

The hospitality and enthusiasm of the staff made our stay so memorable! The outdoor onsen was beautiful and the indoor onsen was nice too. There are many restaurants in the area which made it very walkable. Our room was beautiful and made our entire trip to Japan feel authentic.

“Nice owners and cozy rooms, great for a stay in Hakone!”

The hostel is super cozy, perfect for a little retreat away from the buzzling city. The owners were super nice and spoke excellent English. The indoor as well as the outdoor onsen were the stars of the show of course, and the outdoor onsen was in the yard outside which was super beautiful. Slots for the onsen could be reserved so that the guests can have some privacy which I thought was great. There also seemed to be no policies forbidding tattoos which is quite rare.

“We had an amazing time and will definitely be back to stay at Hakone Guest House again. Highly recommended”

We had a wonderful stay at Hakone Guest House, and it truly felt like a home away from home. Ted, the owner, was incredibly welcoming and made us feel comfortable from the moment we arrived. Our kids absolutely loved the experience sleeping on futons and wearing yukata was such a fun and memorable part of the trip. Ted went above and beyond by teaching them how to play Kendama, which quickly became a highlight for the whole family. We also had the chance to experience the onsen, and it was a relaxing and special moment we’ll always cherish. Everything about our stay reflected genuine hospitality and care.

“A very pleasant stay, host is really nice and helpful with all local tips”

Friendly staffs, comfortable beddings

“The owners/house were welcoming and helpful.”

The traditional feel set in the mountains

“A fabulous stay”

The owners are very friendly and helpful. We loved the onsens and the traditional Japanese style throughout the property. The property is on the bus route to all the major attractions in Hakone.

“Very nice”

The property was well equipped for everything, the rooms are clean, nice and cozy. The staff is super helpful and are up to help on anything you need, we loved the information section and also all the help they gave us.

“Friendly host”

The private onsen was a huge plus

Our room was beautiful and clean. We enjoyed both indoor and outdoor bath, it was so lovely experience. Staff was very welcoming and their dog Laito so cute. I hope that we would have possibility to stay there longer. Thank you very much!

“The hostess is friendly and helpful.”

Location - close to the bus stops Half an hour time reservation for private use of onsen.

“Refreshing and relaxing”

This is my second time staying at Fuji-Hakone Guest House. It is a beautiful property with so much history and charm. The owner is very attentive and helpful, and has made this stay very memorable. We were easily able to access Lake Ashi for amazing Mt Fuji views and there were plenty of restaurants around that could accommodate for us as vegetarian travellers. I plan to stay again in the future and highly recommend this as a place to spend quality time in the mountains, making origami, soaking in the Onsen, and enjoying nature.

“An incredible part of our Japanese adventure!”

Fuji-Hakone truly felt like 'home' away from home. The family operating the Ryokan was very welcoming, and although at first, we found it daunting to get the bus from Odawara to get to their guesthouse, once we arrived, they immediately made us feel at home. Moreover, they gave us excellent information to move around, find dinner and hiking opportunities in the area. The guesthouse itself was lovely, and the private Onsens were all excellent (Moreover, tattoos were welcome in them!). Finally, they were very accommodating in all of our additional requests.

“Amazing service and very confortable, big ( as for Japan) rooms. The private onsens are the cherry on the cake. Definite”

Traditional room design with ryokan flavors. And , my goodness the futon mattresses are comfy!
