The calm in the mountain, the view from the windows, the kindness

“One of the most wonderful places I’ve ever stayed in”

Everything about this experience was fantastic, great location, super friendly owners/ hosts, everything about it was amazing, and they pick up and drop off, so friendly and welcoming , made my holiday extra special, highly recommend to everyone who wants a Five Star Experience, superb.

The host was very nice, understanding and helpful, great views

The host was very nice and drove me to the bus and my room was okay clean

“Cozy stay away from tourist crowd”

The staff and his hospitality

“Really nice location with great views. The host was very kind enough to drive me to the open Air museum and also pick me”

“Nice Owner”

Hey the owner was really nice and helpful the English skills was not the best but I think that is normal in Japan He always tried to help. He made every breakfast he was like a very nice grandfather who always helped you can only recommend it. Hakone is a nice place for hiking and walk around

Lovely people in charge, great breakfast. Felt like staying in someone's home. Fancy shower and helpful hosts

“Beautiful place to recharge and explore the mountain”

Peace and serenity, woke up with cherry blossoms outside the kitchen window and a view of the mountain. Comfy bed without rocks in your pillow:) it feels a little far but host will pickup and drop off when you need it. It's actually a nice walk for a nature lover and really only a bit over a km down into the valley and back up to gora.host cooks breakfast. I came during the week and had the whole place to myself so felt like home:) free wifi. The geo museum on top of the mountain is worth visiting and only 100yen, learn about onsen chemistry and volcanoes and how it's all managed

You get your own big room with a nice view for a very cheap price. On top of that is a nice kitchen and multiple bathrooms. Even though it’s not that easy to get to and away from the house, the host makes up for that by being willing to drive you to and from any bus or train stop nearby, which made it really easy to get around. But not only does the host drive you, he also cooks really good breakfast.

“Couldn't recommend somewhere more welcome, it's amazing”

The host was out of this world, felt welcomed. He picked me up, dropped me off, and he is an absolute chef in the kitchen. Felt welcomed and loved the entire weekend

“Enjoyable stay with a great view and a tasty breakfast.”

We were looking for a japanese style home experience and we got it. Nice location, beautiful surroundings and a super friendly and helpful owner. We didn’t expect any breakfast but he offered scrambled eggs, coffee and toast. It was very tasty. He even gave us a car ride to Gora center.

“Very kind service, peaceful and beautiful environment”

The Villa was on the mountain surrounded by wonderful and peaceful location full of nature. The host was absolutely amazing, so kind and helpful! The beds were comfortable and there is a large bath. We had a beautiful mountain view from our balcony. The building itself is a bit old and not comparable to hotels. It has a very personal charm.

“It was nice to be close to the nature”

The host although didn’t speak English is extremely kind, hospitable and friendly. He offered driving us to the bus or train station whenever it was needed. Also breakfasts were very decent and tasty:) The house is a bit remote from the main road but it’s also an asset as it’s quite and tranquil there. It’s around 30 minutes to góra station by walk. This though might be a bit challenging during heavy rains.

The owner is incredibly kind and sweet! He is willing to pick up your luggage from the train station if you are early, so you are able to go sightseeing without your luggage. He will also pick you up when you’re finished for the day and drop you back off at the train station when you check out. Breakfast is free if requested and is a hearty meal!

“Here for 1 night, had a wonderful and warm stay :)”

The owner is very sweet and caring - although he does not speak english, he is still able to communicate with guests well. The location is a bit difficult to reach on foot so he offered to pick us up from the nearest bridge (we got lost and he even picked us up from Gora Station!). Super lovely :)

“Special villa with a super friendly host”

The host was super friendly! He picked us up from the busstop and also dropped us at the bus or train station if we wanted to go there. He also made a nice breakfast (Japanese curry or scrambled eggs with sausages). The house is big and everything you need is there. You need to share the bathroom and kitchen. Our room was large and had a bed and a couch. The surroundings are beautiful.

Good service, but the location is not convenient

The Host were very friendly and offered to pick and send us to and from Gora train station.

“It is ok [for it's money's worth] but there are better alternatives.”

The staff is very kind and helpful. This is more of a family business. So I felt more like visiting my grandparents rather that spending my time at a hotel or guest house so the atmosphere is quite good.
