Family-friendly holiday rentals in Yugawara, Ashigarashimo District

We had a wonderful stay at Gabriel's home in Hakone. The private indoor and outdoor onsen were absolutely perfect—such a relaxing experience and exactly what we needed to unwind midway through our trip. The space was clean, peaceful, and very comfortable for our group of four. One of the highlights was how accommodating the host was—allowing us to leave our luggage at the home after check-out so we could continue exploring Hakone without the hassle of carrying our bags. It made a big difference and we’re so grateful. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a relaxing and convenient stay in Hakone!

This was our favorite place we stayed during our 12 day trip through Japan. The house is lovely. We fell in love with the space immediately. It’s a beautiful balance of old and new. The host was proactive in his communication. The Food Mart is very close - a 5 minute walk. I was worried about where we would grab snacks and water, but the proximity of the food mart was perfect. There are also several close restaurants and downtown Hakone is an easy downhill walk from the house. Burger Box is very close (not all the way downtown), and the food was great.

I used it for 12 people. Check-in went smoothly and we were able to BBQ right away, so it was a very long time. I enjoyed using it.

We loved staying at this house, there was plenty of space indoor and outdoors. We didn’t use the patio seating area but would definitely come again with a group to enjoy the bbq area. The highlight was definitely the onsen, both indoor and outdoor were easy to use and we enjoyed them multiple times during our stay. Helpful instructions were all over the house on how to use all the amenities and appliances which took the hassle out of using the translation apps. We noticed there was some beautiful walking trails in the area and a Lawson right down the block with bus stops near by if you do t feel like driving. Would definitely come back again with more friends and/or recommend to others.Thank you again!

We stayed with 9 adults, but there was no scale that made it feel narrow, and we had a very pleasant time.It was a little up and down from Gora Station, but there was a convenience store nearby and a vending machine, so there was no inconvenience when we arrived.I'd love to stay here again if I get the chance.

This is a truly wonderful place to stay—surrounded by nature and filled with an incredible sense of peace, accompanied by the gentle sound of birds and a flowing river. Honestly, the photos don’t do it justice; the property is even more beautiful in person, and I’m so glad we chose it. Eriko was a fantastic host, always attentive and thoughtful. We walked to an onsen just 10 minutes away, which was an amazing experience. The private onsen on the property was perfect for my little girls (5 and 7 years old), and enjoying breakfast on the balcony with the sound of the river in the background felt absolutely magical. I highly recommend this place and would definitely stay here again the next time we visit Hakone.

Very nice place, great baths and lots of extra options too.

Ichimaru was easy to communicate with and responded quickly to messages. The place was comfortable and everything worked fine. we would be happy to stay again.

It had a lot of amenities

The owner was fantastic and very responsive, even took us to the local grocery store. The house is on the side of the hill in an incredibly quiet and serene location with complete privacy. The outdoor hot bath was incredible, too, and a great way to relax and unwind at the end of the day. Overall it was a great place to stay and would recommend it for anyone staying in Atami.

Michael has a wonderful house, it is very beautiful and you can find a lot of cute details in the house. Michael is also a great host, very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended!

My family and I stayed here for three days and two nights, and we definitely had amazing experiences here. We reached quite late around 7pm but Kyoko-san patiently waited for us, greeted us and gave nice tour around the house. Even the home owner and the other co-hosts were very attentive and made sure we were comfortable throughout our stay. For the next two mornings, we were blessed; greeted by the lovely Mount Fuji and the view from the house was spectacular ❤️ We came here during the Eid month, so we even had family Eid photos here! Such memorable experiences, and we would definitely recommend this place to others :)

Yuji was really responsive and easy to communicate during our stay. It was an old house but I think the owner already tried his best to maintain and clean it (it’s just too old and had some stain and rust on places). There were trees and bushes surrounded the house - beautiful but yes a lot of bugs, and luckily not much got inside. There was not much to do nearby but would be good stopby to rest for a night. Considering the price it’s totally worth it. I’ll still give it 5 stars in overall.

The sauna, water bath, and natural hot spring were all pleasant to use!The description of the facility was also easy to understand, and we had a comfortable stay.

It was a very pleasant stay.Thank you so mych

We very much enjoyed our stay here ! The house is very large with 4 bedrooms, well equipped kitchen, bath tubs both indoors and outdoors and everything you need for a fantastic holiday. It is located in a peaceful forest area away from the crowds. If you have a dog, there are also plenty of facilities for your pet. Very easy to get from the house to Lake Kawaguchi and Chureito Pegoda, the 7 seas of Oshino, many temples, gardens, museums and also the F1 racetrack. If you have a car, this home is a perfect base to get everywhere. We really felt at home and enjoyed that everyone had their own bedroom with comfortable beds.

Very nice villa, with an incredible view! It was very clean and a very pleasant stay.

Booked this place without reading the reviews and solely based on Mr. Hiro’s description/pictures; I’ll use my review to clear up some of the negative reviews and lack stars that this place deserves. This is a Japanese traditional style home. The comforts of the western world that everyone is mentioning, for instance, air conditioning, are not common in Japan. Hiro’s place has an AC unit in the living room, though it’s not enough to reach the bedrooms upstairs, just open the windows and embrace the dozens of birds/nature. This was a surprise trip for my wife; not once did she complain about the stairs (she’s pregnant). Not a valid complaint; You should’ve read the description by the host before you booked. Free parking and easy accessibility by automobile. If you can afford to book this place, then you can afford a vehicle. Again, not a valid complaint. Also, you chose to travel to a mountain and use public transport; of course you’re going to complain about walking up hills.

I'm sorry to interrupt your stay for the Yugawara Yukake Festival. In a wonderful thatched-roof Japanese house, I had a good time with my friends around the fireplace. Coffee and condiments were also provided, and I felt the thoughtfulness of the host. The bus stop is also a 30-second walk away, and the location is great.

It will be used for the second time. A private space is maintained, and it is highly recommended for those who want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. There is also plenty of space, and BBQs and bonfires are possible in the garden. Basic amenities, dishes, and garbage sorting are also provided, so you can enjoy a stress-free stay. There was no problem with the temperature control in the room. I look forward to the next time.

It is the best house we stayed in Japan, the surroundings are very quiet, the house is spotlessly clean, there are marks that have been meticulously maintained, the landlord and his wife are very warm and kind, pick us up from the station, the check-out will send us to the station, we dropped a tripod, the host and his wife drove us to Kawaguchiko Station by car, we are ready to buy a gift, the host and his wife have sent us a trip stand, so we are very sorry that we did not send a crown gift.

Absolutely amazing place to get away. Very quiet, amazing views and the house had all the amenities you could need. Will definitely be back next year.

The building is old but seemed to be very well cared for.The staff was also very responsive.It is a quiet place away from the center of Atami.The hot springs were unemployed, transparent, and great.Recommended for those who want to enjoy the hot springs and spend a quiet time.

Situated within the woods, very quiet and peaceful area. Not touristy and easily accessed by car (although walkable to the lake by foot, it s pretty steep hilly road so may not be suitable to walk for elderly). Very cosy and clean place. highly recommend!
