Our family of five from Canada (2 adults and 3 kids) had a fantastic stay at this house near Chokoku no Mori in Hakone. The home was clean, spacious, and perfectly suited for a family. The area is beautiful and peaceful — a wonderful place to relax and explore.
One of the highlights was visiting the nearby volcano, where the kids especially loved trying the famous black eggs. The views of Mount Fuji from the area were stunning and truly memorable.
Dining options right near the house are somewhat limited, but this was easily solved with a quick 15-minute walk or a short train ride to Gora, where there are more restaurants to choose from. There are also a couple of restaurants nearby, and a 7-11 just down the street which came in handy for snacks or supplementing a meal — the kids really enjoyed that part too!
A hidden gem we discovered was the microbrewery just a few houses down — they serve excellent beer and sake, well worth a visit.
We would have stayed another day if our itinerary allowed it. Highly recommend this place for families looking to enjoy the Hakone area with comfort and great views!
We had a great experience. The place is on great condition, instructions for wifi and appliances are super friendly for foreigners. Can’t beat the location. Walking distance to Open Air Museum, translation and a 711.
Great property on the hilly (mountain-y) slope with plenty of room (by Japanese standards) for our family of 4 adults, a kid and a baby. There was ample parking lots for our rental car and it was a short drive to amenities, and sights like Lake Ashi and the Hakone ropeway. Loved the fact that the 7-11 was a short walk up the hill, a restaurant next door, and a brewery on the other side of the house.
