Our stay here was wonderful. The room was spotless and the staff were incredibly kind. The onsen is small (max 6 ppl) but that was never an issue. The included breakfast was a smallish buffet style of mostly western type foods, salads, scrambled eggs, yogurt, breads. The convenience of the location, minutes away from Gora station, made arriving and doing the Hakone loop so easy! Lovely spot overall.

Great affordable accommodation with onsen

A great, affordable hotel right by Gora station - perfect location for exploring Hakone. We opted for a private room which was lovely and comfortable. The onsen facilities are only open to guests and while small are very pleasant, and the number of people is limited at any one time. Even the snacks and drinks in the minibar were very reasonably priced and locally sourced. Thoroughly recommended!

Hakone-Gora is a quiet area near the base of the cable cars taking you up for a My Fuji view. There are a few eateries and bars but not much else, and the eateries close early. As such it is great if you want a relaxing night and the Emblem Flow has great Japanese style rooms and a terrific Onsen, Also looks to be a good base for walking in the area. We loved it after the bustle of Tokyo.

Fantastic hostel. We were a family of 4 (all adults) in one room. Bunks were great, spacious floor space, Onsen was nice bonus. Fantastic staff. Breakfast recommended. Can’t beat this location. Great point to stay at to experience that Hakone area on the free pass. Would stay again in a heartbeat.

The staff were very helpful, the room was very pleasant and larger than expected. The position was great - close to the train and cable car and easy to walk to many of the sights. We had booked for breakfast, which was a little odd for Westerners but OK. Dinner was good, particularly the a la carte menu.

If you are looking for a spacious room with various cultures shared together, this hotel will be the one you must take a look at. The staff is fluent in English, and they have everything you need when you travel in Japan such as onsen, drinking water and microwave. Only 1 minute walking distance from Gora Station is another advantage of this hotel. Strongly recommended!!!

Lovely hotel up in Gora. Stayed for two nights as a relaxed stop between Tokyo and Kyoto which it was perfect for. Two nights is enough to see the major sights around Gora such as the Open Air Museum, the sulfuric volcano vents and Fuji. The room was traditional and neatly kept. Breakfast was good albeit a bit for or western tastebuds. We didn't eat dinner at the restaurant so can't say how it was. Very convenient that the hotel is next to the train and cablecar station.

great location, pleasant staff, but whoever planned this hostel put in way too few toilets per bed (two small stalls at each floor - 1 star less) and no showers or washrooms at all except for some in the onsen at the first floor (1 star less) making staying a bit uncomfortable and crowded in this regard.

It is just great. Solid 10/10

The breakfast is the best I have even had in this 4 weeks trip in Japan. The hot spring is perfect and every staff are friendly and polite. Everything is top-notch and you can feel staff are working hard to serve the best things to guests. I am not the kind of people who give 10/10. I will definitely come again(Don't raise the price)

A clean and comfortable place to stay, right by the station. I stayed in an 8 bed dorm and the room itself was spacious, as well as the bed cubbies. Had dinner and breakfast on site and both were good, with vegan options for dinner. They also made me a vegetarian breakfast. The facilities were clean and spacious and the quiet hours (from 9pm-7am) were observed by other guests. The onsen was also very nice. The only things that could be an issue were the under pass from the station to the hostel which had stairs on either side and could be a struggle for those with mobility supports as there didn't seem to be a lift. There also only seemed to be one shower (per gendered rest room) on our floor and only two toilets. This wasn't an issue when I was there, but I imagine it may get busy during peak times.

Più che un ostello un hotel vero e proprio con tutti i servizi annessi. La nostra camera era spaziosa (considerando il Giappone) e con servizi. Onsen molto bello, inoltre è una struttura tattoo friendly! Colazione ottima, abbiamo anche cenato, cena ok.

Thank you for a good stay. The breakfast option at the hotel was nice since the area doesn’t have too many dining places (that’s just Hakone for you). But the location was pretty good and the hotel had everything we needed for the most part for the two nights we stayed. I would recommend to others or come back myself. Thank you.
