RoheN HAKONEYUMOTO in Hakone provides adults-only accommodation with a garden, a shared lounge and a terrace. Located around 49 km from Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine, the hostel with free WiFi is also 7.2 km away from Kowakudani Station. The property is non-smoking and is located 600 metres from Hakone-Yumoto Station. My wife and I absolutely loved this place. We each got a free happy hour drink both nights, and the included breakfast was very tasty and healthy (omelette and salad). We also ate in the restaurant some in the evening, and everything was very tasty. The staff are all soooo kind and helpful. For about $6 they can wash/dry a laundry bag that you fill. Our room (which was only for two people; we did not stay in the dorm-style rooms) was clean and comfortable, and the whole facility was clean and quite cozy. Close walk to the main train station (no more than 10 minutes).

Located in Nikko, 18 km from Tobu Nikko Station, K's House Nikko - Kinugawa Onsen Hostel provides accommodation with a shared lounge, free private parking and a terrace. The property is set 19 km from Nikko Station, 22 km from Nikko Toshogu Shrine and 38 km from Kegon Falls. The hostel features a hot spring bath, a shared kitchen and free WiFi throughout the property. K's house hostels have been exceptionally incredible through my travels in Japan. This one being the best I've had the pleasure of staying in. The cleanliness is equivalent to some of the fanciest hotels out there, I can't overstate how comfy the common areas and rooms are. The onsen is great, although not very large. I picked the cheapest room option, and I was pleasantly surprised to find a massive room with wall sized view right into the forest, comfortable bunk beds with excellent ventilation.
