Family-friendly holiday rentals in Manazuru, Ashigarashimo District

This was our favorite place we stayed during our 12 day trip through Japan. The house is lovely. We fell in love with the space immediately. It’s a beautiful balance of old and new. The host was proactive in his communication. The Food Mart is very close - a 5 minute walk. I was worried about where we would grab snacks and water, but the proximity of the food mart was perfect. There are also several close restaurants and downtown Hakone is an easy downhill walk from the house. Burger Box is very close (not all the way downtown), and the food was great.

It was nice to see Mt. Fuji in the morning.

I used it for 12 people. Check-in went smoothly and we were able to BBQ right away, so it was a very long time. I enjoyed using it.

Very nice place, great baths and lots of extra options too.

We had a wonderful stay at Gabriel's home in Hakone. The private indoor and outdoor onsen were absolutely perfect—such a relaxing experience and exactly what we needed to unwind midway through our trip. The space was clean, peaceful, and very comfortable for our group of four. One of the highlights was how accommodating the host was—allowing us to leave our luggage at the home after check-out so we could continue exploring Hakone without the hassle of carrying our bags. It made a big difference and we’re so grateful. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a relaxing and convenient stay in Hakone!

We loved staying at this house, there was plenty of space indoor and outdoors. We didn’t use the patio seating area but would definitely come again with a group to enjoy the bbq area. The highlight was definitely the onsen, both indoor and outdoor were easy to use and we enjoyed them multiple times during our stay. Helpful instructions were all over the house on how to use all the amenities and appliances which took the hassle out of using the translation apps. We noticed there was some beautiful walking trails in the area and a Lawson right down the block with bus stops near by if you do t feel like driving. Would definitely come back again with more friends and/or recommend to others.Thank you again!

We stayed with 9 adults, but there was no scale that made it feel narrow, and we had a very pleasant time.It was a little up and down from Gora Station, but there was a convenience store nearby and a vending machine, so there was no inconvenience when we arrived.I'd love to stay here again if I get the chance.

This is a truly wonderful place to stay—surrounded by nature and filled with an incredible sense of peace, accompanied by the gentle sound of birds and a flowing river. Honestly, the photos don’t do it justice; the property is even more beautiful in person, and I’m so glad we chose it. Eriko was a fantastic host, always attentive and thoughtful. We walked to an onsen just 10 minutes away, which was an amazing experience. The private onsen on the property was perfect for my little girls (5 and 7 years old), and enjoying breakfast on the balcony with the sound of the river in the background felt absolutely magical. I highly recommend this place and would definitely stay here again the next time we visit Hakone.

The sauna, water bath, and natural hot spring were all pleasant to use!The description of the facility was also easy to understand, and we had a comfortable stay.

It had a lot of amenities

The owner was fantastic and very responsive, even took us to the local grocery store. The house is on the side of the hill in an incredibly quiet and serene location with complete privacy. The outdoor hot bath was incredible, too, and a great way to relax and unwind at the end of the day. Overall it was a great place to stay and would recommend it for anyone staying in Atami.

It was a very pleasant stay.Thank you so mych

Michael has a wonderful house, it is very beautiful and you can find a lot of cute details in the house. Michael is also a great host, very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended!

We really appreciated Yuji's quick responses, he was very helpful with our booking. The place was very clean and just what we were looking for.

Yuji was really responsive and easy to communicate during our stay. It was an old house but I think the owner already tried his best to maintain and clean it (it’s just too old and had some stain and rust on places). There were trees and bushes surrounded the house - beautiful but yes a lot of bugs, and luckily not much got inside. There was not much to do nearby but would be good stopby to rest for a night. Considering the price it’s totally worth it. I’ll still give it 5 stars in overall.

Very nice villa, with an incredible view! It was very clean and a very pleasant stay.

Booked this place without reading the reviews and solely based on Mr. Hiro’s description/pictures; I’ll use my review to clear up some of the negative reviews and lack stars that this place deserves. This is a Japanese traditional style home. The comforts of the western world that everyone is mentioning, for instance, air conditioning, are not common in Japan. Hiro’s place has an AC unit in the living room, though it’s not enough to reach the bedrooms upstairs, just open the windows and embrace the dozens of birds/nature. This was a surprise trip for my wife; not once did she complain about the stairs (she’s pregnant). Not a valid complaint; You should’ve read the description by the host before you booked. Free parking and easy accessibility by automobile. If you can afford to book this place, then you can afford a vehicle. Again, not a valid complaint. Also, you chose to travel to a mountain and use public transport; of course you’re going to complain about walking up hills.

I'm sorry to interrupt your stay for the Yugawara Yukake Festival. In a wonderful thatched-roof Japanese house, I had a good time with my friends around the fireplace. Coffee and condiments were also provided, and I felt the thoughtfulness. The bus stop is also a 30-second walk away, and the location is great.

It will be used for the second time. A private space is maintained, and it is highly recommended for those who want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. There is also plenty of space, and BBQs and bonfires are possible in the garden. Basic amenities, dishes, and garbage sorting are also provided, so you can enjoy a stress-free stay. There was no problem with the temperature control in the room. I look forward to the next time.

The host was responsive and friendly. It was a great stay!

Situated within the woods, very quiet and peaceful area. Not touristy and easily accessed by car (although walkable to the lake by foot, it s pretty steep hilly road so may not be suitable to walk for elderly). Very cosy and clean place. highly recommend!

Comfortable apartman, room was more spacious than it looked on the pictures:D However, it was designed for people with smaller stature, so someone who's above 180 cm might find it uncomfortable. Central location, relatively close to the bus and the sea. Many amenities offered, also close to many restaurants and convinience stores. Very communicative and helpful host. :) The only downside is that we had to be careful with the amount of hot water used for showering and dishes. Overall a great experience:D.

It was nice to be able to experience a traditional Japanese house. It was a good light to have a barbecue while looking at Mt. Fuji in the parking lot. The house was old but the linens were clean and fluffy. If you want to have a barbecue, it's good to prepare a table and a mat chair. The barbecue while looking at Mt. Fuji is the best!
