Experience of the stay
Since all registered accommodations in Hakone were fully booked during the peak of Obon, I dropped down to Yugawara. The highlights were the hand-rolled sushi at night, the dried horse mackerel in the morning, refreshments from water to coffee, tea, and even shaved ice, all available 24 hours.
The renovation of old guest rooms showed some limits in cleanliness, compensated with Yogibo furniture. No issues for just sleeping. On the other hand, the shared spaces were a successful renovation, spacious with plenty of seating, and worked like a co-working space where guests were using the area for work and writing in various ways.
Experiences during the trip
After a late lunch at Lake Ashi, I traveled down to Yugawara. It's close enough to consider in combination with Hakone. There were plenty of parking spaces available (though there were a few grass and ants, which was a bit disappointing), and for those without cars, a morning shuttle bus was available to Yugawara.
