Didn't have luggage storage, but replied back suggesting to use train station lockers, which was helpful. The path to the property along the furnicular is very bumpy, better access is through the town and a.smoother road to pull luggage. Didn't have hooks for hanging towels in the shower, it would be more convenient if it did.

Very nice room, good location, very comfy beds, laundry facilities very convenient.

Apartment was lovely, very clean and comfortable. Location was fabulous being so close to Gora station and cable car.

It was not easy to bring large luggages from parking lot to the property. Additionally I did not know that we were assigned to the studio upstairs. It was not easy to carry luggages up and down of the narrow staircases.

Cute little studio that could host quite a few people. It was small but it had everything you’ll need.

The only thing I don't like is parking is tricky to find. You have to walk from public parking going to the location. It is little uphill, not a luggage and stroller friendly. Careful when walking at night it is dark and may step on small rocks. Our twins fell asleep in the car we have to carry them (uphill) and I almost fell.

What I like about staying at Hakone-GORA Base A is that it has everything we need. It has a small kitchen, laundry area and tatami area. Easy to make milk at night because the kitchen is just outside the bedroom. The only thing I don't like is that parking is tricky to find. You have to walk from public parking going to the location.

We have the first floor room. The floor noise from upstairs is loud while walking. We knew the house is a redecorated old house. But it is not a big concern for choosing this accommodation.

Good location, quiet, nice and compact.

It’s up on a slope so I would recommend you travel light.

A unit on its own. Owner/ staff very responsive. Clean and well equipped with kitchen equipment. There is also a dining area that seats 4 person comfortably in case you prefer to cook your own meals.

Washing machine in room was coin operated, needed to have coins.

Comfy space close to Gora Station and cable car. Great info on local places to eat/places of interest.

We had a lovely one night stay here in Gora Base A, for our Hakone part of our trip! The place was nice and clean, and a great option for accomodation in Gora. Thanks for the great place.

Not much eatery within the vicinity of property after 8pm.

Location was good. Owner provided good guide for the check in/out.

Lack of daylight. That's it.

The location is really near Gora Station. The place is charming and very calm. Exchanges with host were very easy and helpful. There are no keys only a code which works perfectly. Easy access to the railrope to climb to the summit.

We loved this accommodation, one of our favourites during our holiday. It was cosy and comfortable, with plenty of room and had everything we needed for a family of 4. Great location, close to first stop on the cable car, which made it easier with luggage.

Parking bay a bit far from the house more than 50 meters, difficult for big luggage

The house was spacious, comfortable enough to cater 4 adults, good location and easy access to main attractions around Hakone / Gora

Gora Base A was a very cozy place to stay, my friends and I really enjoyed our time there. We could tell a lot of care and thought was put into making the property as cozy and comfortable as possible. Coin Washer and dryers are available at a small cost. The heated tatami was a really good touch too.

Location. Quiet. Clean. Comfortable. Lots of fresh towels.

It is a. very small space for 4 adult people with luggage, but this was not surprising. There was no tea or coffee provided in the kitchen supplies. We didn’t use the kitchen to cook food but we would have used tea bags or coffee if it was provided.

The location was a great base to explore Hakone. The vibe of the area is relaxed, quiet holiday style. The house is a nice mix of traditional and modern, with the option of sleeping in bunks or on tatami mats.

The host has given comprehensive and clear instructions and recommendation about the room and the neighbourhood. The room was tidy and cozy. Amenities were in good condition.

It was quite pricey for what it was but I think all accommodation in Gora is quite pricey overall. Was a bit boxey for the price but as I said had everything you need and it was an overnight stay. Have made a recommendation to supply tea and coffee as most places close early and open later. Absolutely no option to get in early.

We entered by a lock box. Instructions on how to get there and parking Instructions were all clear and easy to understand. The room was great . We were in unit 101A. Basic kitchen facilities, washer dryer etc. Very close to the station and places to eat. Walking distance to Open Air Museum. Overnight stay so it had everything you need. There are other accommodation options in this unit block ours may have been the smallest.

What a lovely and efficient little apartment! It was really clean, and had everything we needed. Not a bad walk from the station (10 minutes), although Gora is hilly and you will get good cardio exercise! We really appreciated having the laundry facilities (as well as detergent)!

Plenty of room, close to the train and comfortable beds. loved reading the story of its build.

Two things suprised me - while not major, are disappointing. First, given the price point, I was most surprised to have to pay extra for the washing machine. I was paying for a full apartment/house, so why charge more for the facilities within it? First time I haver ever had to pay extra for the washing machine. Two nights later we stayed at a similiar type of place. It cost half as much, and it did not cost extra to use the washing machine. Second, I thought the check-in/out times were not the best. 3pm in, out by 10am, with no flexbility. Contrast this with the place we stayed the following night with a 2pm check-in and 11am check-out, which is much more common.

Classic Japanese house - spotlessly clean and comfortable. Referring to some previous reviews, the location was perfect. Yes, it was a slight walk up hill from the station, but you don't expect everything to be flat when going to the mountains, right? This was a great property, a short walk from the station.

I don’t think I have something I don’t like about this property

It’s very clean and comfortable.
