Lovely typical Japanese room in a quiet sector. The guest house's manager is very welcoming and considerate. We had a lovely stay !

If you click on the property address link on booking.com, Google maps will not take you to the correct location. You need to type in the name of the hotel rather than following the address link provided in the booking.com email.

The building itself is older and humble, but it is extremely clean, well equipped, and very comfortable. The property manager was quite possibly one of the nicest people I've ever met in my life. There's a bus stop very close by that makes this location particularly convenient.

Google Maps brought me to a wrong location initially, and the owner of that property drove me to the guesthouse.

The manager was so helpful. He even walked me to the bus stop the first morning to show me where it was.

It's a traditional Japanese house so the walls are quite thin and we could hear the people in the next room. Not a huge issue, everyone was quiet during quiet hours after 11pm :)

The guest house manager greeted us warmly when we arrived and let us leave our bags as we were too early for check-in. He can only speak Japanese, but I saw other guests use Google translate no problem. The property is a 10-second walk from the Oshiba bus stop and a 15-minute walk down to Moto-Hakone and Lake Ashi, making it a very convenient location. Even though we went during a really busy holiday period, we were happy to find this property for a much cheaper price than other spots around Hakone. There are lots of facilities including TV in the room, free tea/coffee and ramen noodles that can be bought in the kitchen for 200 yen. The beds were comfy and there was lots of information available regarding what to do in Hakone. You can cook in the kitchen and store food in the fridge. There's also a smoking spot in front of the house. Great if you're looking to have the traditional Japanese home experience. The manager even let us take an umbrella as we were very unprepared for the rain on our last day.

you have to walk a bit from the town centre. and the 10AM checkout means to leave the premises, not just the room. we thought we could have breakfast after checking out but had to rush

spotless! more things than we expected like bath robe, air purifier, toothbrush and toothpaste and everything else you'd expect in a real hotel

Accommodation was in a traditional Japanese style hostel - in a ryokan, on tatami mats. Nice experience, the room included a Japanese kimono.

The room was perfect and the owner is the most kind and helpful person :)

The manager was so helpful and super friendly. Sugizaki went above and beyond with all our request. I love everything about the place and would recommend it easily to my friends.

The guest house had japanese style rooms with plenty of space. The futons were very comfortable, and the rooms ensured a comfortable and warm stay during the winter. Yukata and other amenities were also provided. In terms of location, the guest house has bus access right in front of it. Note that the walk to Motohakone by foot also isn't too bad if you're not movement impaired. However, the best part of the stay was definitely the host, which was very welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed for a pleasant stay, even with the language barrier. Would come again!

If you are into late night snacking, you should be aware that there are no food options near the guest house. It is recommended that you take a quick bus ride down to the ‘town’ area to stock up for the night! There is a lawson mart there too.

The bus ride up is pretty long but when you alight at moto hakone guest house’s bus stop, it is a mere 1-2 minute walk from it. The host is exceptional at his job. Very amicable. He always ensures that you are having a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Does his best to provide the most effective advice when needed too. Facilities are alright, the rooms are really nice though! Cleanliness throughout the property is observed - important for me! The home (especially the rooms) looks cosier in-person than in pictures too. Highly recommend!

Quite off the beaten track if you're looking for nightlife. Getting there with pubblic transport takes a while and a little walk uphill is required, although nothing difficult.

I liked this accommodation very much, from the traditional style bedroom with tatami floor and futon mattress to the kimono available for guest. A traditional experience for a relative cheap price. The host is very kind and attentive.

The location was convenient for me - bus stops are just a few steps away and the Motohakone port is within walking distance. The staff/ host was really kind and courteous.

This is just nitpicking, because what I liked about the location is that it is quiet and calm, but it isn’t really an area to walk around to take a stroll in at night because not many places are open nearby. But as I mentioned already, the bus stop is nearby if needed, and the room in the guesthouse is a nice place to relax in the evenings.

The guesthouse was very charming and comfortable. I loved the Japanese style room with a futon and tatami mats, and also a yukata to wear. Coming back to the room after a chilly day exploring and being greeted by a fresh pot of hot water to make tea was perfect! The Japanese style bath was also very nice to relax after a long day. Even though it was a shared bathroom, it was well distributed - the toilet was near my room, and I didn’t really feel like I was sharing it with anyone else. I also really liked the location, it was in the quieter part of Hakone - a 10 minute walk to Lake Ashi, 15 minute walk to Hakone Shrine, and near the bus station which is very convenient. The manager was also very attentive and kind, always there to help and to answer any questions.

Easily one of the best accomodations we have ever stayed at. The guesthouse is located on the other end of the Hakone loop, which is good if you're looking for some solitude away from the crowd. The guesthouse is at a walking distance from two bus stations - Oshiba on the H line and Kyu kaidoguchi on the the K line, which made it convenient to come from Hakone Yumoto as well as visit Tenzan Onsen. The guesthouse is just a 10 minute walk from Motohakone port from where you can start the Hakone loop by boarding the Cruise ship. The guesthouse itself is clean with traditional rooms. We were provided with Yukatas for our stay which was fascinating to wear. There was a well-equipped kitchen that we could access at all times. The owner is a young impressionable man who goes above and beyond to make your stay comfortable and answers all your queries promptly.

Location is not very safe to walk to on the street. However the bus stop is across the street.

Host was very friendly and helpful. Very good price with a useful kitchen.

Typically Japanese steep and intense stairs. Honestly, not a single other issue with this place.

The location is literally steps from a major bus stop (Oshiba), so that really couldn't be better for those who aren't into staying at or near one of the busier areas. It's a guest house, so it's in that kind of hostel style, though it does have individual rooms. Ours was a good size for two people, and the place is spotlessly clean and comfortable. The host was incredible for communication and suggestions. Very helpful, and very conscientious about explaining everything from the common kitchen and bathroom areas, to how to use the air conditioning controller. Really personable and nice. The facilities are clean and easy to use, with bathrooms located on each floor. The futons were really comfortable, and the blankets were AMAZING. The provided yukata were good for our plus-sized selves, and also really comfortable. Honestly, this place was the best part of our time in Hakone.

Great location close to the bus and Lake Ashi. Welcoming and helpful host. Comfortable traditional Japanese room and good communal amenities (kitchen, toilets, shower).

There wasn't an electric socket near bed.

Loved it! The room was spacious and the bathroom and sink near the room. Manager was very helpful and nice! Kitchen had everything and even option to buy cup noodles.
