Apartments in Mishima

View: The view was unreal, especially from 10AM-sunset (early morning can be a bit cloudy, we went in March). You get a full skyline with the shore, the dock, the mountains, the lake, Mt. Fuji, the Torii gate, and the tourist ships that pass by once in a while, from both the balcony AND the onsen bath. It was everything. Food: There is a 7eleven practically across the street with everything (even fishing supplies haha!) and a Lawson about 10 walking mins away (which is also the Motohakone-ko bus stop with routes to downtown (?) / Odawara station & more). The fridge was filled with drinks (incl. a bottle of wine) and a box of food for each person, we got the sandwich box which included smoothies, instant soup, bread, salad, and a very delicious patty that required cooking. Kitchen is fully equipped and packed with cooking supplies though so you should have everything you need even if you want to bring your own ingredients and cook a full meal. There are also some small cafes and restaurants within 15-20 mins walking distance, but we just bought loads of noodles, salads, and rice dishes from 7eleven and stayed in the whole time. Experience: There are just so many ways to enjoy this place round the clock: wake up early for a morning stroll and beat the crowd at the popular Torii gate--yes there will be a 30-40 people line to take pictures with it :) (the place is only 10-15 mins walking from Hakone shrine and the Torii gate, with a beautiful lake-side path!), come back and enjoy the view from your balcony once the sun is up, rest your feet in the onsen footbath while having a coffee, watch a movie in the living room with the huge projector, play with the telescope at night, take a bath in the onsen...anytime (it's always on at the perfect temperature).

The place was clean and directly across the lake. Really nice cozy feel. Bonus that it has a microwave and a ref that we didnt get to use.

Mad location. Get a fresh beer right near the 7-11, sunrise over lake ashi, fun looking apartment, great facilities, unreal.

Almost every thing. Large apartment

This was an absolutely fantastic experience! This hotel room was the best we’ve stayed in throughout our entire trip to Japan. Don’t be put off by the hotel’s location—there are bus routes just a 3-minute walk away, and an excellent onsen (one of the best in Hakone) is only a 10-minute walk from the property. The hotel building itself is quite old, but the room has a very fresh, modern, and authentic renovation, which we really loved. As for the room itself, it’s incredibly cozy—warm, with perfectly functioning air conditioning, all the necessary kitchen and bathroom amenities, and even a drink bar. The owner has clearly put a lot of effort into maintaining the room’s cleanliness and upkeep—no stray hairs on the floor, no dust, stains, or musty smells. Everything was spotless and comfortable. We also loved the traditional Japanese touches in the room—swords on display (I think they were a katana and a tanto, though I’m no expert) and beautiful traditional women’s garments like yukatas and uchikake, which you can wear for a photoshoot. There’s even a QR code linking to a video on how to properly put them on. The room also offers a stunning view of the mountainside and cherry blossoms—the scenery from the window is absolutely breathtaking, and my wife was completely delighted. The bedding was fresh, warm, and comfortable, and the mattresses were great too. The owner himself is very friendly, responds quickly, and is always ready to help if anything comes up. I highly recommend choosing this room if you’re planning a trip to Hakone and want to enjoy the onsen!

Everything was amazing! The area is quiet and peaceful, and the facilities were perfect.

Very Cozy, Spacious and Clean 15mins walk from the Kinomiya Shrine and the station, absolutely quiet at night time. Very Recommend to visit the Shrine at night as well. Staff is very nice and sure will visit again in the future
