People talking around the big table

THE HEART OF koti

Now that we’re all together,
let’s laugh at the same stories.

On big group trips, meals often end up split across several tables.
We wanted to take away that little bit of loneliness,
so we put a big table at the heart of koti.

Sharing food someone cooked.
Everyone laughing at a story that started at the other end of the table.
We hope those easy moments become the best memories of your trip.

BEFORE YOU GO

Good to know before your stay.

What is your cancellation policy?

For bookings made on our official website, cancellation is free up to 15 days before your stay; from 14 days before, 100% of the accommodation rate is charged. For bookings made on a booking site, the policy of that site and plan applies. In case of the unexpected, such as a child suddenly running a fever, we recommend getting travel cancellation insurance.

Do you charge for children?

Children under 2 who don't use their own bedding stay free (up to 4 children) and aren't counted in the number of guests. Children aged 2 and over, and any child who uses bedding, count as 1 guest, the same as adults. The rate is the same for up to 8 guests; from the 9th guest, there's an additional ¥8,000 per person per night.

How many guests can stay?

The house normally sleeps 21 (21 single beds), and up to 26 using futons. However, with more than 21 guests, the stay may be less comfortable. Children under 2 who don't use their own bedding (up to 4) aren't counted in the number of guests. Airbnb only lets you select up to 16 guests on its booking screen, so for groups of 17 or more, please tell us the exact number after booking.

Can we bring our pet?

You can bring up to 4 small dogs weighing 10 kg or less. The fee is ¥3,000 per dog per night. Dogs can stay only on the first floor (1F) and outdoors; they aren't allowed on the second floor (2F). Indoors, please put a diaper on your dog or keep it in a crate. We provide a crate and pee pads. Since we're not a pet-specialized lodging, our services for pets are minimal. For pets other than dogs, or dogs over 10 kg, please ask us in advance.

Is dinner included?

We don't provide meals. You're free to use the commercial-grade kitchen, the big table and the covered BBQ area. We also sell a breakfast bread set and frozen pasta and risotto at the house, there's a delivery service for BBQ ingredients, and we can introduce you to our partner private chefs (who cook at the house).

How do I check in?

Check-in is self check-in, and there are no staff on site. By the day before your stay, please register every guest using the guest information form (this is required under the Hotel Business Act). Two days before your stay, we'll send you a 4-digit code for the smart lock. On the day, any time after 3:00 pm, enter the code on the smart lock of the door on the right to go in. We recommend arriving by 9:00 pm.

Can we check in early?

If there's no booking the night before, we can offer early check-in before 3:00 pm free of charge. Please be sure to check with us in advance through our LINE official account. If the night before is open, super early check-in lets you come in from 8:00 am, and if the following night is open, super late check-out lets you stay until 6:00 pm, at ¥80,000 each. We don't offer regular late check-out, because we need to clean for the next guests.

Is there parking if we come by car?

Parking on the property is free, with room for 5 standard cars (4 larger cars). Up to one microbus can park. Medium-sized and larger buses can't enter the villa area. Parking on the street or in the vacant lot on the left is not allowed. If you need more spaces, please use a coin parking lot such as Times Hakone Sengokuhara (タイムズ箱根仙石原).

Can you issue a receipt?

For bookings made through a booking site, please get your receipt from that site. For bookings on our official website and paid extras paid by card, please request one through our document request form. We'll send it as a PDF within 2 business days. If you pay by bank transfer, a receipt isn't needed. We can also issue a certificate of stay as a PDF.
