It had a nice feel to it. On a quiet street and a short walk from the train station. Everything is newly finished by the owner himself, who is interested in sustainability and local community. The bed was comfortable and the sleeping pod was spacious and well designed. The pods give yiu privacy even if you’re staying with others in the shared room. I had an enjoyable night and this was a good value for money. Beyond that, Takumi (owner) was super friendly and accommodating. His property is a DIY place that he’s built out and is a fun place for building a community. There is a central area to sit and eat, which is a nice way to meet other travelers. If you’re traveling through and want to meet locals and others, I think this would be a great little hub.

I loved staying here! The K bus stops nearby for a quick return from a day exploring. We booked a private room and it was bigger than I thought with lots of windows. Me and my daughter enjoyed the onsen while it was quiet and my tattoos were not an issue. The staff were very helpful and showed us around the establishment making us feel welcomed. The only bad part was that we only stayed two nights!

Kana works at the hostel and is hands down one of the nicest people I met on my trip in Japan! Would return to Hakone just to see her again. Her welcome made the place feel really homely!

Friendly staff and great value especially for solo travellers! The common areas are relaxing and even though it’s described as a hostel you still have the privacy of your own room. Located right near the sea front and about a 15 minute walk to the train station.

Comfy, clean beds with privacy curtain, light, power outlet and 2 hangers. Bathroom and common area was very clean. Can't understand the bad rating. This was really good! Hesitated to book it after seeing the rating but happy I went with it. Convenience store is also nearby.

All hostels in Hakone

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    The staff were very friendly. The facilities were new and clean. The double room with a private bathroom was huge compared to the pictures on the website. The free breakfast was good as well. The overall atmosphere of the place was wonderful and we felt very safe staying here. We had to book this hostel as a last-minute change of plans and the staff were very friendly and accommodating.

    location, breakfast, room, staff Hands down, the best place to stay for a solo traveler if you are planning to stay a night in Hakone. Just a 10 minute walk from the train station. You get your own cabin with a lockable sliding door and a key. So even though it's a hostel, you get your own cubicle with better privacy and safety. There's a restaurant with great affordable food and a lounge to hang out. And for my booking the breakfast was included which was delicious. The staff is very friendly as well.

    One of the best hostels I've ever been to - very new, clean and fully equipped. The capsules were surprisingly spacious and even had their own little window and AC. They serve a delicious and rich breakfast. Also the location was great - easy to walk from the station or to reach some onsen, yet quiet.

    We have been traveling for 4 months, and this is the best hostel we have stayed at, by far. It’s clean, the beds are of really good quality, it’s nicely located, and the staff does everything they can to help you with whatever you need.
