Where to Stay in Hakone
The Hakone area is relatively well spread out and is made up of lots of smaller areas. Which area to stay in Hakone really depends on the attractions you and your family intend to visit.
Hakone is relatively well serviced by trains and buses, so no matter where you stay, I’d check that its within walking distance to a bus or train station. All the family accommodation Hakone places to stay recommended in this guide are within walking distance to a train station or bus stop.
Below I’ve provided a brief overview of some of the popular and affordable areas to stay with family.
Hakone – Yumoto
Hakone – Yumoto is the gateway to the area of Hakone and where everyone needs to pass through, to visit Hakone.
While the area of Hakone – Yumoto has plenty of shops and restaurants, I don’t recommend it as an area to stay while sightseeing in Hakone as you will need to continually travel up and down the mountain to see most of the Hakone attractions. However, if you just plan to stay overnight in Hakone and just do one day trip, the area could be convenient.
Tonosawa
The next area you may choose to stay after Hakone – Yumoto is Tonosawa. This is a lovely little area by the river and only a short train ride away from Hakone – Yumoto. The area has some lovely accommodation with onsens and stunning mountain views.
Once again, though, I don’t personally recommend this as an area to stay for sightseeing in Hakone as you will still need to continually travel up and down the mountain to see most of the attractions.
Miyanoshita
Located about 15 minutes by train from Hakone – Yumoto, the area of Miyanoshita is a reasonably central area for exploring most of the Hakone attractions.
Gora
Gora is an excellent place for those sightseeing in Hakone as it’s very centrally located for all the various attractions around Hakone. The area is small and easy to walk around; however shops and restaurants are very limited.
In my view, Gora is the best area to stay while visiting Hakone. It’s not only central for sightseeing, but you can also find some good budget accommodation here.
Gora is also super close to the start of the Hakone Ropeway, as well as the Hakone Gora Park.
Motohakone
Motohakone is another great central area for families sightseeing around Hakone. The area is located right by the stunning Lake Ashinoko where, on a clear day, you can get fabulous views of Mt Fuji, plus the area has plenty of shops and places to eat. From Motohakone, you are well connected to transport for exploring the area.
Attractions in Motohakone include cruising in a pirate ship across Lake Ashinoko and the Hakone Checkpoint Museum,
Given there are so many benefits of staying in Motohakone, it does tend to be one of the more expensive areas for families to stay in Hakone.
Sengokuhara
Located in the north of Hakone, Sengokuhara is a beautiful area of Hakone and an excellent base for those wanting to spend time in the beautiful outdoors. Many people choose to stay in this area for its top-quality resorts, and proximity to Mt Fuji and Lake Kawaguchi.
Attractions in the area include the Little Prince Museum, Venetian Glass Museum, as well as being close to Gotemba where the shopping outlets are and the base of Mt Fuji.
The Best Hotels in Hakone
Before we get into where to stay in Hakone, Japan, I thought it was important to say a few things about the type of accommodation you will find in Hakone, particularly if you are after a budget hotel in Hakone.
First of all, like most places in Japan, accommodation in Hakone is not cheap. However, there are more affordable options to be found. For Hakone budget accommodation, I recommend you consider staying in a traditional Ryokan, which is a Japanese style inn. A Ryokan has Japanese futons as beds (mattresses on the floor) and usually shared bathrooms. Many of the Ryokans also have onsens available for guests to use.
What’s an onsen you ask? Well an onsen is a Japanese hot spring or the term also refers to a bath you will find in a hotel, which uses the water from the hot springs. Some of the onsens are private within your hotel room, or some are shared facilities. And there are a number of hotels in Hakone with onsens to choose from.
Given I’m all about good value accommodation, the hotels recommended here are basic in terms of amenities, however in my view they all offer lovely family accommodation. If you want something more, you will need to be prepared to increase your budget drastically.
Yumoto Station Hotel Mirahakone
Located right near Yumoto station, this Hakone family hotel offers low-cost family accommodation with plenty of conveniences close by.
Family rooms at the Yumoto Station Hotel Mirahakone come in a couple of different options. A family room can fit four people in bunk beds and, if you’re a larger family with infants, a maximum of 2 can stay for free on a pull out sofa. The other option is a junior suite, which can fit up to 4 people on futon beds and these rooms also have a bath rather than just a shower.
As with most budget Japanese hotels, the rooms are on the small side, but they are clean, bright, and comfortable. All rooms at the hotel have private bathrooms, tea and coffee making facilities, air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, and flat-screen TVs.
Guests will also have access to a small, shared kitchen, making it great for families who want to save a little money by catering for themselves. If you’d rather not have the hassle of cooking, there is an Italian restaurant onsite.
The hotel is in a super convenient location with the Yumoto station just a 2-minute walk away, giving you easy access to all the local attractions. It’s also surrounded by shops and restaurants, making it super convenient for families who want everything right on their doorstep.
What we love?
The convenience – a 2-minute walk to the station and surrounded by restaurants with a great Italian restaurant onsite as well. After a long day exploring, it’s nice to stay somewhere that has everything close by.
What’s not to love?
The hotel doesn’t have a lift; it’s only a small building so it shouldn’t be a huge problem but maybe something to consider if you have small children.
Summary
Large families with infants would be hard pushed to find a better room setup for such a reasonable price and, with the great location, Yumoto Station hotel Mirahakone is perfect for families.

Condominium Mirahakone
If you have a huge family or are traveling with another family and looking for self-contained accommodation, Condominium Mirahakone is a great affordable option that offers more room choices than most in this guide.
Rooms can fit up to 10 guests!! Yep that’s right; if you opt for a junior suite, you’ll get four double beds and a double sofa bed. It is a little bit of a squeeze but definitely livable for a short stay. There is also the option of a family suite, which has two double beds and two singles. Smaller families would be comfortable in a standard family room with just one double bed and a pull out double sofa bed.
All the rooms come with private bathrooms that have baths instead of just showers, which is a great bonus for families with young kids. Every room also has a small but really well stocked kitchen with all the utensils you’ll need to cook and even a coffee machine. Other room features include free Wi-Fi, air conditioning and soundproofing.
The hotel itself is in a good location with Yumoto station just 800m (12-minute walk) away, but if you don’t feel like walking that far, there is a bus stop right outside. There are only a few restaurants nearby, but with your own kitchen, it’s hardly a worry.
What we love?
Having your own well-stocked kitchen in the room makes this a really convenient place to stay for families with young children, super easy to keep an eye on them while you cook.
What’s not to love?
Not as conveniently placed for the train station as our other Yumoto-Hakone choice, but there is a bus stop just 60m away and getting around is still very easy.
Summary
Families of all sizes looking for self-contained accommodation in the Hakone area will be hard pushed to find anything better or more affordable than Condominium Mirahakone.

Manten-no-Hoshi
When it comes to Hakone accommodation, ryokan options are a great way to experience the traditional side of Japanese culture. This best ryokan for families has an extra wow factor with traditional Japanese dishes available for breakfast and dinner.
Rooms at Manten-no-Hoshi are basic, as you would expect to find in any traditional ryokan, and family rooms can sleep up to 5 on futon style floor beds. When the beds are rolled and put away during the day, which is the norm in ryokans, you’ll have plenty of space to eat or relax. The flooring is also traditional Japanese woven straw matting called tatami.
All the rooms feature air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs and fridges as well as a choice of colourful Japanese Yukata robes to really get you feeling at home.
The hotel itself has a public open-air onsen for guests but you can actually reserve the whole thing for private time slots, which is a real bonus if you want some relaxed family time. The hotel also offers a breakfast and dinner service, cooking traditional Japanese food that is delivered to your room, perfect at the end of a long, busy day exploring.
Manten-no-Hoshi is in a very quiet area and there are limited restaurants close by, but the hotel food is a great traditional experience and there is a convenience store right at the end of the street. The train station is only a 2-minute walk away so, although the attractions aren’t right on your doorstep, getting there couldn’t be easier.
What we love?
Cheap accommodation in an area that is usually well-known for its expensive price tag and a great traditional Japanese experience to boot.
What’s not to love?
The lack of facilities in the area makes finding suitable dining options a bit difficult, but the breakfast and dinner options at the hotel itself get great reviews!
Summary
If you’re looking for cheap and cheerful accommodation with friendly staff and a good meal at the end of a long day, this cheap ryokan in Hakone would make a good base to explore the area.
Click here to check current pricing and availability.
Tsukinoya
If you are looking for a ryokan with private onsen in Hakone, Tsukinoya has two, which are both really well maintained and were built by the owner’s own father.
Rooms at this ryokan sleep up to 6 adults on Japanese futon beds, so it’s a great option for larger families looking for the traditional ryokan experience. Rooms have shared bathrooms and are simple but surprisingly spacious as well and they all feature air conditioning, TVs and fridges.
The hotel itself has a choice of 3 onsens, all of which are available to book for private use during your stay so you can relax in private with your family. Free Wi-Fi is also available in the reception area.
Tsukinoya is a little further from a subway station than some of the other options and you’ll need to take a 15 to 20-minute walk to reach it, but there is a bus stop just 200m away. A short bus ride will connect you with one of two stations and lots of attractions close by, like the Hakone open-air museum. The area around the hotel has plenty of dining options, so tired kids won’t need to walk far to find dinner after a long day sightseeing.
What we love?
This hotel is perfect for larger families, with up to 6 futons available in one room and the chance to book the onsens for the family to use in private.
What’s not to love?
A little further from a subway station than some of our other choices, but the bus stop is so very close by and has great direct links to attractions and stations.
Summary
A great ryokan with spacious rooms and everything you need close by to relax at the end of a long day exploring Hakone.

Emblem Flow
When it comes to our pick for the best places to stay in Hakone, Japan – Emblem Flow is our pick. It’s a fantastic Hakone hotel for families in the perfect central location for exploring all the main attractions Hakone has on offer.
Family rooms have two bunk beds, fitting up to 4 guests, or larger groups could opt for a suite, which has three double beds and two singles. Every room has simple, modern decor and comes with a desk and couches to relax as well as a TV, air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, and en-suite bathroom. These rooms are actually surprisingly spacious compared to a lot of Japanese budget accommodation.
Guests at the hotel have access to a shared lounge area complete with table tennis and there is also a bar and restaurant within the hotel itself and laundry too. The indoor onsen is free for hotel guests to use throughout their stay but is not available for private hire.
Emblem Flow could not be in a better location for travellers to the Hakone area, it’s incredibly central with the Gora station literally right next door, making it a great base to explore the surrounding area. Gora Park is just a 5-minute walk away and the open-air museum is only about 7 minutes on the train. There isn’t a huge choice of restaurants nearby but if you walk just a few minutes to the next street down or on the other side of the station, there are enough to get by.
What we love?
The location!!! This hotel is fantastic for families who want to do a lot of exploring and need an easy, comfortable hotel to get back to at the end of a long day.
What’s not to love?
Honestly, we kind of love everything! If we had to choose something, it would be nice to have a private onsen but, at such an affordable price, we’re certainly not complaining.
Summary
A modern hotel with spacious and comfortable rooms in the best possible location to explore everything the Hakone area has to offer!

I love Hakone
Families looking for a little extra space or large groups will like the option of booking a small multi-room “house” instead of just a single room. I Love Hakone is a great find.
The air-conditioned holiday home has three bedrooms, which include two double beds and eight futons. It would be great for larger families and offers a lot of flexibility.
The house has air conditioning, a small flat-screen TV, and a private entrance. It also has a living room, a fully equipped kitchen with a dishwasher and a kettle, and a bathroom.
Gora station is less than a 1 km walk and it provides excellent access to attractions all over Hakone.
What we love?
The option to book a small house rather than just one room, like with most ryokans, is nice for families looking for a little extra space.
What’s not to love?
Unfortunately, the location isn’t quite as convenient as other options in this guide. This may be a problem for those with little legs, but if you have older kids, it’s still doable.
Summary
A lovely and quiet ryokan in an area that makes a great base for any family who would like a little extra space but still at a budget price.

GORA Base A
If serviced apartments are more your kind of accommodation and you don’t like having to walk around to find somewhere for dinner, GORA Base A could be just what you’re looking for.
The hotel offers one-bedroom apartments, which can sleep up to five people on three single beds and two futon beds. All the self-contained apartments have a kitchenette for preparing simple meals and a private bathroom with a bath and a shower. The kitchenette includes a stovetop, a refrigerator, kitchenware, and a microwave.
Rooms also feature a balcony, a washing machine, an electric kettle and a flat-screen TV.
The hotel is less than 200 m from Gora station but be warned – it is uphill. Koen Kami cable car station is about 350 m and an easier walk for young kids or anyone who travels with a lot of luggage.
What we love?
The chance to have a bit of extra space and a private kitchenette means families with young kids aren’t forced to venture out looking for food if everyone is tired.
What’s not to love?
The location doesn’t have many restaurants or shops, but with a little advance planning, it’s easy enough to get supplies and prepare something yourself in the kitchenette.
Summary
If you’re looking for self-contained apartments with extra privacy and convenience but don’t want to pay a fortune for them, you could do a lot worse than GORA Base A.

Gora Onsen Kinkakulo
Families looking for a convenient ryokan in Gora that doesn’t require a lot of walking around the steep hilly area will be happy with Gora Onsen Kinkakulo as it is located less than a ten-minute walk from Sōunzan cable car station.
This air-conditioned family room features a shared bathroom with a bathtub, tatami, a private entrance as well as a terrace. There is even access to a private onsen. There is no charge for this but you will need to reserve your slot, so ask about this when you book.
Gora Station is 1.4 km (30-minute walk) away, but the Gora Onsen Kinkakulo is less than a ten-minute walk to the small Sōunzan cable car station. Here, you can take the cable car straight to Gora station, which allows you to easily travel all over the Hakone area.

What we love?
The private onsen is a nice bonus at such a budget hotel so be sure to request your slot when you book.

The Prince Hakone Lake Ashinoko Hotel
Families looking for a more resort type of holiday with standard hotel-style rooms instead of the traditional Japanese ryokans will love the Prince Hotel, Hakone, with its incredible views over Lake Ashinoko.
Family rooms have two single beds and two pull out sofa beds as well as a desk and casual chairs and there is plenty of space to spread out a little compared to some Japanese hotels. All the rooms have free Wi-Fi, tea and coffee making facilities and air conditioning as well as baths and showers in the private bathroom. There are blackout curtains in the sleeping area, which is a great bonus for families with young kids who might need a day nap. Many of the rooms also have stunning views over Lake Ashinoko.
The hotel itself has heaps of facilities for guests, most notable of which is the large open-air onsen with great views over the lake. There are also three restaurants to choose from as well as a bar, café, small convenience store, spa and even an on-site golf course. Guests can also make use of the free shuttle bus to Odawara station.
The location is not the best on this list for exploring the rest of Hakone but this is a resort rather than a hotel so it’s easy to stay on-site and have a relaxing few days taking walks around the lake and enjoying the onsen. The Hakone-en bus stop is less than 250m from the hotel though so you can still get around if you like. There is the Hakone-en aquarium close by and the Ropeway station is only a few minutes walk away, where you can enjoy a trip up the mountain for some stunning views.
What we love?
The large open-air onsen is a real highlight at the Prince Hotel, especially with the stunning views out over Lake Ashinoko.
What’s not to love?
The transport links are not as convenient as other accommodation in this guide but the free shuttle bus and facilities on site mean it is still a fun yet relaxing holiday.
Summary
Resort style accommodation with everything you need onsite as well as a beautiful onsen setting makes this Hakone lake hotel the perfect way to waste a few days relaxing or taking in the scenery with walks around the lake.

Hakone Onsen Sanso Nakamura
If you are looking for something a little more remote and in a quiet setting, Hakone Onsen Sanso Nakamura is a traditional ryokan just outside the main area of Sengokuhara.
Family rooms can sleep up to five guests on Japanese futon beds and also have a small seating area and television as well as tea and coffee. All rooms come with shared bathroom facilities.
The hotel has two nice onsens, but they are single-sex use so, unfortunately, the whole family cannot make use of one together. Guests can also make use of the mahjong room and the hotel offers traditional Japanese breakfasts and dinners served in the dining room.
There are two bus stops close by, both around 300m away so you will have easy access to public transport. The area is a little quiet and there are no restaurants or shops really close but it is only a few minutes bus ride into Sengokuhara, which has plenty to choose from. There are also some great attractions close by like the Little Prince Museum (650m), Venetian Glass Museum (1km) and Hakone Botanical Garden of Wetlands (1.5km).
What we love?
The quiet and relaxed setting is nice while still being close enough to a bus stop to enjoy local attractions without too much hassle.
What’s not to love?
It would be nice if the whole family could enjoy the onsen together instead of being split into sexes, but both of the onsens are nice and well maintained, so it’s a small price to pay.
Summary
A small, traditional ryokan with well-kept onsens and a remote setting make this an excellent spot for a bit of rest and relaxation after long days exploring the area.

Hakone Retreat Fore

Hakone Retreat Fore offers family rooms with one double bed and a sofa bed with a maximum capacity of four guests. All rooms have free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, great views of the surrounding forest and Bluetooth iPod docks. If you feel like splashing out during the winter, deluxe rooms have a wood-burning stove, as do the suites, which also feature their own terrace and two bedrooms with plenty of space to stretch out.
Guests can take a walk along the wooden deck surrounded by nature to the hotel’s outdoor onsen or, if you don’t feel like venturing outdoors, try the indoor public bath with great views of the surrounding forest. Free barista-made coffee and tea is available to all guests in the café downstairs and can be enjoyed in the lounge while taking in the view.
Also on site is a great restaurant where the hotel offers both breakfast and dinner options (make sure to book breakfast on booking as it’s much more expensive when you arrive!). There is also fresh bread baked every day, which is a nice touch if you have hungry little ones who need a little something to tide them over in the afternoon
Hakone Retreat Fore is a bit out of the main area of Sengokuhara, where you’ll find the closest convenience stores and restaurants. There is a bus stop less than 500m away from the hotel though and this provides easy access into the town or to train stations for access to the rest of Hakone.
What we love?
The stylish rooms with modern touches and plenty of space will make a welcome change to families who have been staying in other budget accommodation during their trip.
What’s not to love?
It can be a little tricky to find and is a little tucked out of the way but that’s a small compromise for the seclusion and closeness to nature you get in return.
Summary
Stylish, modern and surrounded by nature, you will truly feel a world away from the busy tourist areas of Hakone. Take a relaxing dip in the hot spring bath or treat yourself to a free barista coffee and freshly baked bread while you soak up the peacefulness.

Hotel Kagetsuen
If you’re trying to find a budget Hakone hotel with private onsens, look no further because Hotel Kagetsuen has 4 of them!
The hotel has both Japanese and western-style rooms on offer, with the most budget-friendly option being the traditional Japanese style room, fitting up to four guests on floor beds. Another great option, if you want a bit of privacy from the kids, is the Japanese-Western mixed rooms. These rooms have two single beds in one room and a sliding partition separating it from a second room with floor beds, again max occupancy is 4. All rooms at the hotel feature free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, televisions and fridges and many of them even have great views of Mt Fuji.
The hotel has a restaurant offering breakfast and dinner, but be warned; these need to be booked in advance! The real highlight of Hotel Kagetsuen is the onsen options, as with a lot of budget accommodation, there are public baths but they also have four private onsens on offer as well.
Hotel Kagetsuen is in a great location for exploring the Hakone area and there is a bus stop just 250m from the hotel where you can take a quick ride down to Lake Ashinoko or go further afield to see the sights. Unfortunately there aren’t any dining options within walking distance but a quick bus ride will take you to the shops and restaurants either in Lake Ashi or Sengokuhara.
What we love?
The great thing about this budget accommodation is the chance to relax in your own private onsen. Hakone is also easy to explore from the area with a bus stop right outside the hotel.
What’s not to love?
It’s a shame there aren’t more dining options close by, so just make sure you book dinner in advance if you don’t think you’ll be up for the short bus trip to find somewhere to eat.
Summary
For budget-friendly Hakone accommodation, private onsens are a real bonus and something you don’t usually see. Families will love being able to relax in their private hot spring at the end of the day.
