Which area of Hakone is best to stay in for cheap hotels?
For budget-conscious solo travellers seeking affordable accommodation in Hakone, areas around Hakone-Yumoto and Gora offer the best value. These locations serve as key transportation hubs, providing easy access to the region's attractions without the premium prices often found in more secluded areas.

Hakone-Yumoto, the gateway to Hakone, is particularly well-suited for solo travellers on a budget. It boasts a good selection of hostels and smaller ryokans (traditional Japanese inns) that are more affordable than those deeper in the mountains. From here, you can easily access the Hakone Tozan Railway and buses, making exploration convenient. Plus, there are plenty of inexpensive eateries and souvenir shops to browse.

It's the starting point for the Hakone Tozan Cable Car and close to the Hakone Open-Air Museum, which can be explored on foot. Solo travellers will find a decent range of affordable dining, from ramen shops to local cafes.
What are the top-rated cheap hotels for families in Hakone?

WPÜ HOTEL HAKONE, with an impressive 9.4 rating, is highly praised for its comfortable and spacious rooms. Families will appreciate the free self-parking, complimentary WiFi, and free toiletries. The hotel also provides slippers for children and offers free rollaway extra beds, making it very accommodating for families.

A unique feature is the guaranteed private outdoor onsen usage, which can be a relaxing experience for families.
What cheap hotels in Hakone offer complimentary breakfast?
For budget-friendly hotels in Hakone that include complimentary breakfast, you have several excellent options, including Gora Hanaougi, Ryokan Kiritani Hakoneso, Jemsty Inn Hakone Ashinoko, Sushi Auberge Gorasaryo, and Hotel Okuyumoto.

Gora Hanaougi is a 3-star hotel with a great 10.0 rating. Guests consistently praise the lovely staff and exceptional service, as well as the great food and beautiful, clean rooms.

Sushi Auberge Gorasaryo, a 3-star hotel rated 9.0, includes a complimentary Japanese breakfast.
When is the most affordable time to visit Hakone?
The most affordable time to visit Hakone is typically during the shoulder seasons, specifically late autumn (November to early December) and early spring (March to April), outside of major Japanese holidays. These periods offer pleasant weather and fewer crowds, which often translates to better deals on accommodation and travel.

For solo travellers, avoiding peak cherry blossom season (late March to early April) and the vibrant autumn foliage period (late October to early November) can lead to significant savings. While these times are beautiful, they attract large numbers of visitors, driving up prices. Instead, consider visiting just before or after these popular windows; you might still catch some lingering beauty without the premium costs.

Another strategy for budget-conscious solo travellers is to steer clear of public holidays such as Golden Week (late April to early May), Obon (mid-August), and the New Year period. During these times, domestic travel surges, making everything from train tickets to ryokan stays considerably more expensive and harder to book.
Are there any cheap Hakone hotels near Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park?
For affordable hotels near Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park in Hakone, Gora Hanaougi is an excellent choice.

The 3-star Gora Hanaougi, with a great 10.0 rating, offers wonderful value with complimentary breakfast, free self-parking, and free WiFi. Guests consistently praise the lovely staff and the beautiful, clean rooms. They also highlight the excellent service and amazing food, along with its great location.
Is Hakone a budget-friendly destination?
While Hakone is generally considered more expensive, particularly for its luxury ryokan experiences, travellers can absolutely experience its magic on a budget with some smart planning.

For accommodation, look beyond the traditional high-end ryokans and consider guesthouses or smaller, family-run inns in areas like Hakone-Yumoto or Gora. These often provide a more affordable stay while still offering a glimpse into local Japanese hospitality. Solo travellers might find excellent value in hostels, which are becoming increasingly available in the region.

Couples can save on transport by purchasing the Hakone Free Pass, which covers most major attractions and transportation, including the Tozan Railway, ropeway, and sightseeing cruise on Lake Ashi. This pass is a fantastic investment for exploring the area's natural beauty without breaking the bank. Many of Hakone's most captivating experiences are free, such as walking along the shores of Lake Ashi, exploring the open-air sculptures at the Hakone Open-Air Museum (though there is an entrance fee, it's worthwhile), or simply enjoying the stunning views of Mount Fuji on a clear day.

Dining can be kept modest by opting for local ramen shops, soba noodle restaurants, or convenience store meals, which offer surprisingly good quality and variety. Many guesthouses also provide kitchen facilities, allowing for self-catering.
What cheap hotels in Hakone offer cooking facilities or kitchenettes?
For budget-friendly hotels in Hakone offering cooking facilities or kitchenettes, consider BLISSTIA Hakone Sengokuhara and Yutorelo-an Annex.

The 3-star BLISSTIA Hakone Sengokuhara, with an excellent 9.6 rating, provides kitchenettes in its rooms, making it convenient for preparing your own meals. Guests frequently comment on the amazing spa, modern facilities, and clean rooms. Additionally, you can enjoy free WiFi and complimentary self-parking.

Another excellent choice is Centurion Hakone Bettei, rated 9.6, where guests consistently highlight the top service and friendly, fantastic staff.
Are there any cheap hotels in Hakone that allow for late check-out or early check-in?
Yes, for budget-friendly hotels in Hakone that can accommodate non-standard arrival or departure times, the Marroad Hakone is an excellent option.

The 3-star Marroad Hakone, with an 8.0 rating, offers both early check-in and late check-out options, though these may be subject to availability.

What free activities should we do in Hakone?
For budget-conscious solo travellers in Hakone, there are several fantastic free activities to enjoy that immerse you in the region's natural beauty and cultural heritage. The stunning natural landscapes are the main draw here, offering serene experiences without costing a yen.

You can embark on picturesque hikes along the ancient Hakone Old Tokaido Road, a historic route that once connected Edo (Tokyo) and Kyoto. Sections like the cedar-lined avenue near Amazake Chaya offer a tranquil walk through nature, providing a glimpse into Japan's past. For breathtaking views, head to the shores of Lake Ashi; walking along the lakeside paths, especially near Hakone-machi or Motohakone, allows you to admire the iconic torii gate of Hakone Shrine in the water and, on a clear day, the majestic Mount Fuji in the distance.

Another enriching free experience is visiting the numerous Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples scattered throughout the region. Hakone Shrine, located at the foot of Mount Hakone, is particularly impressive with its vibrant vermilion structures and peaceful atmosphere. Exploring its grounds, including the large torii gate in the lake, is completely free. Additionally, many of the smaller, local temples offer a quiet space for reflection and a chance to appreciate traditional Japanese architecture without any entrance fees.
Is it cheaper to book flights and a hotel in Hakone as a package?
Booking a hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately. Bundling can lead to significant savings, especially for international travel or when booking well in advance. However, savings vary depending on factors like destination, travel dates, and availability, so it's wise to compare options. With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect travel package.
Can I cancel my budget hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right budget hotel in Hakone for you.
