Villa Hakone Stage

Great place to stay, and very helpful and responsive staff!

Great location, attentive guest support and lots of space!

Bus transport with luggages was not fun. Lot of complaining about noice levels. Very limited dining.

Great stay, would come again.

Fully stocked kitchen. Walking distance to Lake Ashi

Great place to stay and to explore hakone! Big space and clean made the trip comfortable even though there were storm in the area.

Nestled in the forest it is walking distance to the lake and some local restaurants. Overall great place to stay. Big room with great amenities, very clean, and would stay here again. My kids loved it and we were pretty central to everything.

We had a spacious room, once we found the place. The map app on my phone had us going through another hotel. But once we figured it out it was all good.

A wonderful place to stay all around. Near the shores of Lake Ashi, walking distance to cable car, lake cruises, bus station, restaurants etc. Really enjoyed our stay in this 3 level spacious apartment.

This location is very convenient! Near by the local see sights.

This is a gateway from the world where you can relax in comfort. Hiking trails in the area are beautiful, and the walk near the Lake Ashi is nice. The restaurants in the neighborhood keep inconsistent hours but this may have been due to the holiday. You must travel to the other side of the lake to access markets and groceries, but transportation is convenient in the morning and afternoon not at night.

Clean and quiet location. Very easy access to activities.

Dont

The property and the rooms are lovely. The location is pretty and very quiet. There is, unfortunately, almost nothing there. No stores and few restaurants (with bizarre limited hours of operation). During the middle of the day it is no problem as the pirate ship dock and the gondola are right there (and a gift shop, and a restaurant for breakfast and lunch- not open for supper sadly). Evenings are a nightmare if you don’t have food with you and you did not come by car. Heads up: the beds are comfortable but the futons in the loft are like sleeping on the floor… Fine for skinny people and kids. If you’re an adult and if you’re more plus-sizes, you will be in pain. Stick with the beds. We would ABSOLUTELY stay there again. We enjoyed our stay. We would stay more days next time and explore Gora (over the mountain via gondola and down the funicular) and some other areas. And we would come prepared with food! Travel Tip for swimmers: you are not allowed to swim in the lake. Apparently the Japanese think it is too cold. (They need to meet more Vikings and Canadians… We love a cold plunge!)

We had a wonderful stay!

Beautiful apartment with all the commodities

We only stayed one night at Hakone, but the place had everything we needed. It was clean and large enough for our family of 9. The area was beautiful and within walking distance of the Togendai Station. The only downside is that the restaurants around the area close early, but we were aware of this and ate before we got to the place.

We had a wonderful stay at Villa Hakone Stage. The Villa itself is quite spacious (we had a family of three staying) - a welcome change from the cramped living conditions in Tokyo. The villa was clean and very comfortable. The location is right next to both the "pirate" ship port and the ropeway to the top of Owakudani. We arrived via the Romance Car and Hakone Tozan Train from Shinjuku and then caught the Cable Car and Ropeway to the villa (it is a short walk from the Ropeway station). The host was also very quick to answer any questions we had.

Beautiful place! Walking distance to local tourists cites. Would definitely stay here again if I get to come back to Japan.

The property was in a good location and has plenty of space. Our family of 4 stayed in villa b and loved the unique floor plan- almost 3 floors with narrow staircase and loft steps. There was a view of lake ashi. The unit supplied necessary items and we could cook if we wanted to. The washer/dryer combo didn’t dry too well though.
