Onsen Guesthouse HAKONE TENT - Hostel

The place is a few minutes walk from the train station. The room is clean and the staff is friendly. We’re able to book the onsen for a nice hot soak. There was no onsite restaurant open when we stayed. It was a bit of hilly walk to a restaurant.

The staff are wonderful and so friendly. The location is a short walk from the Gora station and there’s a lovely coffee shop at the base of the hill the hotel is on. The rooms are plenty spacious and the bar / social area is warmly lit and friendly. The other guests staying were welcoming and chatty but would give you space if needed to. And the onsen!? Amazing. The stone bath is a great size to relax in and you can book a slot for the evening before you head out in the morning, the cypress bath is a little smaller but it’s available to use without a reservation. Either way, a lovely experience. Huge thank you to Naoya and the team - we loved our time at Hakone Tent ❤️

The hostel is in a remodeled Ryokan so the walls are thin. It was not a huge problem as nobody was exceptionally noisy. They had earplugs available in room. Felt very safe staying as a mother with daughters. Doors to room, shared bathroom, shared shower, and onsen all locked.
