Villa Liberte Hakone Gora

loved the use of the whole building with terrace etc and sento

bit far downhill for shops and bus to train was expensive

Beautiful location. And a beautiful home which gave us a feel of authentic Japanese culture. Very neat and clean and had all amenities. Loved the bath area.

If you want to hang out at a "college fraternity house" style apartment, this is your place. You are greeted by a can of pesticide, must walk up a staircase that is clearly a hazard, suffer a bath that doesn't work, and a refrigerator full of used condiments. Don't worry, you will receive snarky emails from the owner telling you just how many towels you're allowed to use while you're there. If you do happen to make it up the stair case without it falling down, don't plan on sleeping. There is a cat who will meow incessantly at your window throughout the night. The owners claim that it's a stray cat, though there is cat food inside the property. We tried communicating with the property owner, but we're treated as though we were the fools who are banking their vacation house. Highly recommend that you do NOT book at this location.

This house is huge! Lots of room and great kitchen and tv. Loved the bath! There was a funny cat that lived outside.

Parking was a bit difficult.
