Couldn’t tell if it was the sulphur smell or poor vent stacks, but there was sometimes a foul smell.

Unique property, comfortable space, good amenities! Close to train station and restaurants.

It was a little hard to get to with luggage as no real path to the unit.

The cottage was excellent for a small group and the beds were very comfortable. The little town was beautiful.

The space of the unit

Stayed in December 2024

- Pegs to hand your coat and a wardrobe rather than hanging clothes on the rail would be preferred.

- Large space which allowed us to truly relax. Spotlessly clean. - Comfortable double beds with only two of us we were spoilt for choice. Would be perfect for families. - All the amenities you needed in the kitchen, bathroom and laundry including iron, hair dryer, straighteners and washer/dryer. - Thoroughly enjoyed snuggling up in a blanket watching Netflix when the restaurants closed! - Loved the views from the rooftop, be mindful it’s almost a ladder step up. - Great location in Gora however be wary that it is up a steep hill! We found going through the alleyway the accommodation is located off is the best way to tackle the hill as not as steep but be careful of uneven surfaces and not well lit. Alternatively you can walk directly next to the cable car. - Local shop at the top opposite the park was great. Park was worth going in if you have a Hakone Freepass. - Overall we are very happy we stayed here rather than pay a lot of money for a hotel with less space. We really enjoyed eating out too Pubstop and Gora Brewery and Grill were our faves but recommend having breakfast in as there is not much choice isn’t the area.

Very convenient location to all activities around Gora station. Very clean and comfortable for our family's stay. It was equipped with everything you would need. We had a lovely stay!

It was a little difficult finding how to get to it. Also we heard several rooftop footsteps, but when we investigated there was no one there. I think it was the family below and the noises echoed throughout. Oh and the steep slope to walk up from the station was a bit unexpected with our luggage in tow.

The simplicity of the home was perfect for the 2 nights we were there. We are a family of 8 so it worked out. We managed with just 1 toilet and 1 shower. And we liked having access to the rooftop. It was clean and sufficient.

the only minor thing that would have helped was the information in the black information book was mostly in Japanese. although the information about where to get dinner was in English which was helpful.

We booked this last minute to arrive in less than 1 week. We received excellent communication from the hosts and everything worked out perfectly for us. We thoroughly enjoyed the accomodation.

Very well laid out, great for a family of 5. Clean and good facilities. Excellent location

A few hooks to hang backpacks would have been great. Also the step to the living/dining area kept getting missed by us so we tripped several times.

Communication was very responsive, the home was beautifully designed and thoughtfully organized. We were very comfortable as a family of five staying there, and the location was wonderful to all the sights we wanted to see.

There are not a lot of restaurants locally, so you have to plan ahead.

It was a perfect stay for our family of three relaxing in the hillside of Gora base B. The space was well thought out for open plan living. Great comfy beds with bedside lights to read at night. Roof terrace with views to relax in fine weather, (steep stair to access terrace). It was close to some of the local attractions. Fast response from the property manager.

Nothing.

Such a cute apartment, beautifully decorated. My kids loved the platform beds and roof terrace. Fabulous location. We wished we could have stayed longer. Next door to the Ghibli house accommodation, and it was like being in Totoro!
