Irori Guest House Tenmaku - Hakone

We stayed in a small double pod for two nights, kinda surprised by the ample space and comfort. The provided earplugs were much appreciated due to the thin walls. You can definitely hear your neighbors. Enjoying dinner around the irori fireplace was a highlight. Location is fantastic for exploring Hakone, especially with the nearby onsen and popular attractions. Finding an onsen that permits tattoos was a bit tricky, with the nearest public one requiring a 45-minute bus ride. The facilities were all great, but the lockers in the dorm need to be bigger to accommodate larger luggage comfortably. I wished I had known to bring additional meat for the BBQ, as the food options could've been better for the price. It was a cozy and inviting experience, perfect for meeting other travelers.

Was a lovely place for trip. The food was INCREDIBLE and there were a great selection of dishes in the menu. Comforts of family king room with tatami mats were fabulous. The hotel was close enough to other museums like Lalique/Sengokuhara Susuki Grassfields, the bus stop and Hakone Open Air Museum and the railway station and cable car thanks to its marvellous and stunning location. Also, the venue was near Figure I.

All the staff was lovely and greeted us warmly. The location was great and amazing also near a convenient store.

The staff - some of them were not very friendly.

Super clean facilities despite a few minor quirks, like the vintage toilet. The communal areas invite conversation, perfect for mingling with fellow travelers in a cozy atmosphere.

Could really use a refresh-some rooms feel cramped and outdated. Thin walls make it tough to snooze with noise from next door, and basic showers lack any modern flair.

Beautiful venue, superb bar area, magnificent location in the dorm area. Good staff, airy, perfect rooms with beds or tatami mattresses. Location near is right next to the open air museum, major attractions, the train station, and funicular station and the open air museum in Hakone which is a wonderful excursion. 5 minutes' walk to a private museum. A memorable way to end my trip.

Stylish building and rooms with beds or tatami mattresses. Great food selection.

The futons were a bit hard, but staying was a unique experience.

Dinner around the irori fireplace was dope, and the nearby sushi spot, Kappei Sushi, serves the freshest catch. The comfy communal area was perfect for swapping travel tales and unwinding after a day of sight-seeing.

would definitely recommend for a weekend stopover

Cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, the shared kitchen has all the essentials you need for a quick breakfast, and the location is perfect for making local explorations easy as you're just a short distance from the main attractions.

Totally content.

Nice shared kitchen and clean showers, but no free parking was a bummer.

easy access to museums and parks for great weekend strolls

You're just a short walk from the Open Air Museum and Hakone Gora Park, made exploring the area super easy and fun.

Absolutely loved the communal atmosphere at Irori Guest House Tenmaku! Enjoyed grilling our own dinner in the cozy common area, complete with a traditional irori fireplace. The super nice team, and the location near the Hakone Open Air Museum couldn't be better.

Bathroom congestion.

Loved the unique, cozy room and the delicious dinner experience around the irori fireplace! The relaxing communal area was perfect for kicking back, and the shared kitchen had all I needed for breakfast. Just a heads up, it was a bit noisy at times, but that didn't dampen the vibe at all 😊

Staff were incredibly welcoming. the guest house was spotlessly clean and spacious, with tatami mats. Great location near major attractions, train station, and funicular station.

Friendly and welcoming staff with a great attitude towards guests, making it a stylish spot to stay for a trip! 😊.
