K's was a very budget-friendly option for our family of four. It was a fun experience staying in the traditional Japanese room, but we did opt for an private bathroom. I didn't realise at the time of booking that the shower facilities were still shared, but this wasn't a problem (and even a bit quicker having 2 showers to use between us vs having one in our bathroom). Futons were fine to sleep on. The view from the shared lounge area was gorgeous, and so were the surrounds. It is a little bit of a walk, and the hill is really steep, so catch the bus if you can! This was really the only downside of the property we thought - that it is a moderate way out of town, so make use of the property's free umbrella loan if you might be trekking back in the rain!! We didn't use the onsen, unfortunately, so I can't add anything further on that. It was lovely to be able to grab a brewed coffee during the morning (0730-100, I think, but I don't know why you would still be inside at 1100 rather than getting out to experience the stunning Hakone area!).

Used the hot spring for 10 mins , Got 7 places bitten by mosquitoes … the hot spring smell weird . The hotel toilet smells bad . It’s too old and did not properly maintain

Nice staff, clean and have free green tea and coffee. However there is no private bathroom in our room. The property is up the hill and very difficult to walk up with luggage. The bus runs every half hour from 7:30-8:00 am and then every hour after that. You have to call taxi after dinner near station.

It’s a uphill walk from the city center n train station but enjoyed the kitchen common dining area

Excellent property with super helpful and polite staff. Very clean and quiet with great views. Onsen baths are a bonus!

Great staff

Very nice hostel for families. Beautiful surroundings, quiet, clean, well supplied kitchen and nice common areas. The staff were very pleasant and helpful snd we enjoyed using the onsen. It’s a bit off the beaten path so be ready to walk or take transportation to get to restaurants and sightseeing locations.

We loved our 2 night stay. Our ensuite room was clean, quiet and very comfortable in an excellent location. We really liked the Japanese feel with the mats on the floor and the roll out futon. Both inside and outside onsens were fantastic and a perfect temperature. The freshly made coffee in the mornings were really appreciated. Staff were very friendly, efficient and really helpful. Thank you.
