Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The futon’s aren’t very thick so it can be a bit uncomfortable if you’re a side sleeper. Other than that our stay was great. The owner, Yudai, is incredible and has an excellent sense of hospitality. When I come to Hakone again this place will be at the top of my list.

Overall the place was quite clean but could do with a good dusting and robot vacuum on the tatami. Very quiet. Bathrooms and showers clean. Rooms cozy.
