My friend and I stayed in a private tatami room. The view of the mountains, trees, and a little bit of the town below was beautiful. The room was clean and quiet. The futon were a little thin (I have slept on many as I live in Japan), and both my friend and I had poor sleep because of it.
The downstairs common areas are also very clean and beautifully decorated.
The staff were friendly and explained the space clearly.
In the onsen, there wasn't a clear or large enough sign that you need to clean yourself before entering the bath. Unfortunately, this meant that guests who were unfamiliar with the custom entered the bath unwashed. The bath water was quite dirty. This could easily be fixed with a few large signs and explanation during the tour. The shower rooms were very clean.

Wonderful place, Wonderful experience!
This wonderful hostel was a delightful surprise and the onsen really was an added bonus with its outer pool! With a bit of planning, you can take a local bus or use your Hakone Free Pass to be dropped off within a block of the hostel from the train station. Great staff, great accommodations and fully enjoyed my stay!

Beautiful scenery and view. The staff is lovely and the atmosphere with the other guests is great. The commune room has a beautiful antique wooden floor and views on the forest!
We stayed in a tatami room and it was clean and felt very homely.

It's a great place to stay – with an outdoor and an indoor onsen! Completely traditional rooms with tamati, chabudai and futon. All rooms and of course the onsen chamber are clean – and the onsen itself is great. I loved spending a night in this property. Many thanks also to the friendly and helpful staff!

Clean comfortable and welcoming. Steep walk up a long hill...grab a taxi from the station...or prepare yourself ....beyond that we loved this more traditional stay and the onsen

Very helpful staff. The place is located 20min walk from yumoto station. But the walk is very tiring as it is uphill. Bus access is not very good. The staff did help with reserving a cab. Everything else was amazing!

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!).

It’s an old style Japanese hostel and comparatively cheap, especially good for young people, because you have to climb a not-so-short slope from the train station .
