More than staying, playing. Spend 2 days and 1 night at Geospot Motohakone.

What kind of place do you imagine when you hear of renting a whole house? GEOSPOT MOTOHAKONE in Moto Hakone (hereinafter referred to as “Geospot”) offers hot springs, private saunas, gibier BBQ, and even activities with a local guide the next morning. It feels more like “coming to play” than "coming to stay. The three people who gathered here this time were nature lovers Makoto Tanida, Takumi Takahashi, and Kaito Harada. This is a report of their experiences during the two days and one night they spent together.

DAY2 15:00 Goal at Lake Ashinoko.

The trekking was coming to an end. As we descended Gongenzaka, Lake Ashinoko spread out through a gap in the cedar trees. A sense of freedom after walking through the mountains. The surface of the water was quiet and the mountains on the other side of the lake reflected like a mirror. The refreshing look was impressive.

Looking back on the two days, he said, "There are conversations with Mr. Kaneko that never bore me, but I think it is also a great activity for those who have no outdoor experience. You get settled in at the inn, and the next day you get to walk in the mountains and feel nature. All of these things are available in Moto Hakone," said Yada. Takahashi said, "Next time I will definitely bring my bicycle. It will be so much fun to ride in this terrain! The image of Hakone has changed in a positive way, including the fact that the inn is rented out as a single house. It was just the right balance of comfort that you can't get in a hotel or ryokan. The right balance between the two was just right.

Geospot is not a place where you “go” to do something. Just by being here, you can spend a full day. Staying, eating, and walking, I felt a simple richness that made me want to come back again.
