Hakone is one of the most famous onsen town in Japan, and only 90 minutes by train from Tokyo city center. Relaxing onsen, a lot of nature and great scenery are the main attractions that lead many people to come. We give you free accommodation and daily onsen bathing in exchange for the work.
We are very friendly and we believe our hostel is our home. Therefore, it is YOUR home, as well. We treat you as a friend or a member of family as well as a co-worker. If you are eager to learn Japanese, we can teach you through work and out of work, too.

I stayed a month at K's House Hakone and I wish I had planned to stay longer! The staff is so lovely and makes you feel like being part of a big family, the hostel is super clean and comfy, the work is simple and fair, you have plenty of things to do and places to explore during your days off (hikes, museums, castle, shrines,...), the much appreciated daily onsen,... You get it: everything's perfect! K's House Hakone is the place to be if you're looking for a slow and relaxing lifestyle ;)
Thank you so much for this lovely time passed with you, K's House Hakone Family <3 I miss you already <3

I have had the best time @ K's house - Hakone!
The team have all been so welcoming from the day I arrived I felt right at home. The staff were all very helpful, the work was very straightforward and I had someone show me exactly what needed to be done for work, which made the work very easy to undertake.
Staff are always happy to help with any reccomendations or answer any questions you may have.
The onsen is included in your stay and it is absolutely amazing. I've met some really cool people from all over the world in my first month in hakone, I'd definitely reccomend K's House

My partner and I absolutely loved our time at Ks house. All the staff go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and at home. The work is really easy as well, as the hostel is kept so nice and clean! We’re both feeling very sad as our time here is ending and we will miss everyone and Hakone. We could not recommend coming here more, we had an amazing time and we’d love to do it again, just to scare George.

Had a good time in Hakone overall the area is lovely and there is a lot of cool nature for hiking or biking around.
The hostel itself is a very clean place so the work is manageable. I got along great with yayoi and pasindu but I felt like saki never really liked me all too much sadly which resulted in some rather cold treatment and unmanageable tasks.
Other than that you had cool people to hang with come in often, and the community lobby was often used to chat under the kotatsu. Overall I enjoyed my experience in ks house hakone and would recommend it. The onsen is also really relaxing.

K's House Hakone is a great place to stay in! The hostel is really cozy and clean, kitchen is amazing, and there is a lot of space in a living room. Our manager and other workers made me feel like at home, it was great to talk with them in my free time. They are amazing people and really helpful :) I felt like a part of this small family and saying goodbye was really hard.
I would recommend this place to anyone! :)
