The bed was not very comfortable and utensils were not clean.

Location was good and the place was big. It was nice that it is a traditional place to stay.

Futons took a little getting used to. Bathroom facilities basic but very serviceable

Delightful location and beautifully maintained

cleanliness could be better

the room layout and design.

Stayed in March 2024

the futon mattresses were not comfortable and apartment a little tight for a family of 4 adults but since it was an overnight stay we didn't mind.

Located in Moto Hakone, right in the town centre next to the lake. There are many food options around it. Decent, budget accomodation.

No hangers

Very good location. The place is pretty central, within 1-2min walk to Lawson, with a 7-11 about 5min walk away. It’s also pretty close (~5min walk) to the ferry terminal that’s included in the Hakone Free Pass. There’s a direct bus here from Hakone-Yumoto (also covered under free pass). Moto-Hakone Ko isn’t a very big town in the first place, but the property’s location makes things a lot easier. Also, Lake Ashi is 1min walk away, it’s a breathtaking view. A washing machine and detergent is included, which is very helpful, but no hangers :( There were enough chairs to make do, though. An entire kitchen is provided, cutlery, knife, pan, a stove etc. but probably won’t need them since it’s pretty hard to come by groceries in the area and there are decent looking food places nearby (which open late at 11am and close early around 2.30-3pm in Dec at least). Place felt very spacious (for 2 ppl) and looked very much like the pictures. There are futons for 4, but you’d have to extend into the living room area to accommodate that many. There are also 2 aircons/heaters, 1 in the sleeping area and 1 in the dining area, made the place nice and toasty. Check-in was a very smooth process, passcode for the key sent early in the morning of check-in as well as a Google maps link to the place.

I like everything. We fell in love with Hakone.

We were lucky to be able to book this place quite last minute and it didn’t disappoint. The location couldn’t be any better. Very central and close to the Ashi Lake. Ample space for 2 adults and 2 kids. The heater worked great during autumn. Beautiful view from the balcony. Very reasonable price and worth the money. They have dedicated parking space. There’s a convenience store nearby. So bummed we didn’t get the chance to stay longer.

There were very few bowls, spoons, forks, etc for the kitchen.

Host not very responsive, only last minute know info how to get into place so can be stressful. And also good to have some hangers for clothes. same for bathroom , to have some hooks to hang clothes and towel.

the location very near Lake Ashi and Hakone Shrine, so was a lovely walk around Lake Ashi, beautiful scenery. The 7-11 was great too, with good stock of beers and bread. And do take a walk to the Park, and walk to pavillon to see Mount Fuji.

Sleeping on the floor on the thin futon wasn’t too comfortable. It was our first time sleeping like this so I’m not sure if the futons are always so thin - like a quilt, but safe to say we won’t be repeating this experience again. 3 futons only just fit in the space. We used a pillow to help with comfort but it didn’t really help.

Great location, nice and clean. Good sized kitchen / dining - we could store our luggage there as well as there was no space in the bedroom.

Stayed in September 2023

The place lists 4 beds. We were 3 adults and it was ok but I can’t imagine putting one more person in there. The beds were set up for 2 in the bedroom and we had to move the tables and chairs from the dining room ourselves to make the bed for the third person. After the “remodeling” there was no more room to move around. The toilet room had a strange smell and the bathroom needs to be cleaned. There were brown dirty marks on the sink, shower and bathtub. Would be helpful to post pictures of outside of the building, to make it easier for guests to find it.

Great location. Many restaurants close by and plenty of activities. Easy check in/ checkout since it is a self check in place.

Stayed in August 2023

Main areas/utensils were fine but for my own preferances the room could’ve been cleaner. There was dust and dirt here and there around the corners, hidden areas such as around the washing machine. If you’re not too fuzzy about it you will probably not mind.

Location is great: 5min from Motohakone bus stop and actually easy to find with Google; it’s one of the KOI HAKONE apartments. 2min to Lake Ashi, 4min to where the Pirate ships arrive, 9min to Heiwa No Torii. Retaurants and cafés just right there. Beware that a lot of them have early closing times (3:30PM - 5PM, some 06:00PM and only very few open until 9:30PM) but you won’t starve, convenience store is just around the corner. Area is quiet yet central. Self check-in was easy, you will receive a message from the owner before your stay with info to your aparmtent and key. The rooms are separated into 3 (kitchen/entrance, living room and tatami area) by sliding walls + toilet and bathroom. It’s quite spacious. They also provided tooth brushes, shampoo, conditioner, body wash and face wash so we didn’t need to buy everything. Futon bedding was comfortable and clean. We slept very well. For the low price it was great value!

The only thing that I didn't like is the spider that instantly in the ceiling inside the room. But the rest was very good.

I love the localization! Perfect!!!

Stayed in April 2023

The. Tatami mat room was uncomfortable but this was my fault for not booking a room with a bed.

The room met my expectations and for the price and location it exceeded them.

Stayed in April 2023

There are no hot bath at the property, and the nearest public bath house is quite far away…

Good location, clean and complete property with everything we need. Simple checkin and checkout.

Stayed in January 2023

the flimsy siding door in the room came crashing down in the middle of the night, giving my whole family a ride shock.

Superb location by the lake and Motohakone bus stop, cafes, Hakone shrine. Best value for this price range.

No major complaints.

The place was calm, private, fairly spacious and comfortable, equipped with bath tub, washing machine, and wifi. Nice location too.

Stayed in October 2022

Room was clean and was in a great location. Staff responded very quickly whenever we called. There was free parking and internet as well. Great value for money.

The place will guarantee a comfortable place to rest while you're visiting Hakone. The location is very near to Lake Ashi and reachable from Odawara by bus. I would say everything is well-equipped - heater, beddings etc. The self check-in process is also very easy.

Stayed in January 2024

The beds are quite thin but that is common with futons.

Pefect location near the lake, quite spacious and heated, traditional beds. Walking distance from everything.

Stayed in November 2023

Wonderful place to stay in, very close to the sea. The room is comfy and clean. Didn't have in-person contact with the owner but they communicated the needed information for the room ahead of time. So, it's essential to check messages before arriving.

Stayed in November 2023

There were not sufficient instructions how to get there. could easily mention 2 houses passed the corner intersection, plus that it is on second floor. The google map showing "within 40 meters", is not sufficient (it shows the shrine before the corner). We walked around for 2 hours looking for it!! not acceptable.

nice Japanese style place. good location, clean

Stayed in October 2023

We saw some spider webs in the apartment, not a big deal but could have been a bit more clean.

I was surprised by how good the location was, we could see the Hakone Torii from the window, having parking made it even better since we did need to spend money with parking (that can be a bit expensive in certain locations in Japan).

Stayed in August 2023

The Futon beds are too thin. It was as sleeping on the ground. The room was also to small for 4 people. My daughter had to sleep in the closet.

The location was perfect, close to the lake. A good pizza place so close (go there early as they close at 19:30)

Stayed in July 2023

The communication moving up to the point of starting my stay, as we were a LITTLE unsure on the legitimacy of the actual property. Being on Booking offers some security but we were still a little paranoid since there wasn't much for communication prior to the stay beginning.

The location was perfect, tied with the overall value of the location made it an excellent choice. Mt. Fuji is RIGHT there, less than a 5 minute walk away. Seriously recommend this place for a quick travel reset.
