Even though the room we we're in wasn't too big. Which is something we knew coming here. It was extremly cosy and had a very good vibe. The venue itself feels as if you're staying in a luxury hotel. Everything you need is provided and it had one of the best, if not the best, breakfasts we've had during our stay in Japan. No need to go to a bar to drink something, the guestlounge upstairs or downstairs has the perfect atmosphere! Also the only place we stayed that provided us with a premade breakfast plate (healthy food) because we has to leave earlier than normal breakfast time. I highly recommend staying here!

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.

The location was close to Odawara Castle, JR station, convenience stores and restaurants. Communication with the owner was easy and they provided clear steps for the self-check in/out process. There was hot water, microwave, toaster and additional amenities (such as coffee, tea, soup powder) which were shared on the 3rd floor, but easy to access and was great. Room was pretty spacious too and loved the window views.

Everything! The lady running the hostel was the most amazing host ever. She gave a lot of advice about where to eat, visit and onsen. And she booked us everything. The location is perfect to move around by bus with the Hakone free pass. Everything was cleaned and super!

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.
