Great quiet place with an onsen, spacious rooms, great service.

Stayed in November 2024

The hotel is extremely hard to reach in the later evening. As we arrived late we were too late to book breakfast and hotel staff could not do anything about it, no help even if we agreed with some very simple breakfast like cooked egg. The facilities in the room are working just fine but really old. Smaller onsen is poor. Hot stone spa is not a spa, it's just any overheated hamam. Dinner that was kinda costly was poor other than initial few dishes (bento was amazing and as always fish is great in Japan, but Waugh was non edible, extremely chewy, final dish was pasta and rice just to fill us up with something I guess. Personnel speaks close just a very few words in English. There is only one shop and very few places to eat in proximity. Disappointed in general thus we moved to other hotel in Hakone.

The room was clean and spacious. Private Jakuzzi was extremely nice, nite that it is due to reservation and additional payment, first part of kaiseki dinner (due to additional payment) was nice but then it went a bit of downhill. The bigger onsen is nice (onsens are being rotated between male and female each morning).

The location is a bit hard to locate and the parking space is not easy to park after dark

The breakfast is very good by mixing western style to Japanese food. Onsen is clean and quiet as kids are not welcome

Drinks were a little expensive but understandable.

Staff were very accomodating and spoke to me in English when I indicated I was unable to speak Japanese well Food was excellent and room was spacious.

Location is a walk from the bus stop.

When I arrived, the staff gave me a complementary sparkling wine.I really enjoyed speaking with Eru. I think she was very helpful and courteous. The driver who gave me a complementary ride to the bus stop was also great.

Nothing much to complain about.

The meals I had in the hotel were excellent. They were not only food but also presentation of the Japanese culture. The staff was very professional and friendly. The hot spring air bath on the balcony of the unit made the stay exceptional.

A little way out of Hakone, but in lovely spot. Nice comfortable bed, pillows a little hard.Staff were very friendly and helpful. Food was vey good. Onsen on site for guests to use.

There was a loud screeching noise in the dining room. You can get there with a bus, but I would recommend using a car as its a long walk from the bus stop (especially if its raining)

The attention to detail from the moment we checked in. The room was huge with a beautiful view and an outdoor hot tub. The food was amazing.

Stayed in April 2023

The staff was wonderful, very kind and helpful. The food was delicious and of much higher quality than we expected. The amenities offered on site were very nice and enjoyable.

The temperature of the outdoor Onsen tubs are not adjustable, so bringing cold water from the tap, in the shower bucket may be recommended, if the heat is too intense.

The Japanese are fond of very stiff beds and futons. If you are a fan of the soft pillow top mattresses found in the west, this will likely be the most comfortable bed you find in the country.

The staff went above and beyond my expectations. To start, I had a lot of questions and concerns prior to the stay, even up to the day before! All of my questions were answered as swiftly as possible (given the time difference). When even I was in Japan, they replied within the next few hours! I should also note that I used both English and machine translated Japanese to make things a bit easier. The rooms were fantastic! I had 3 rooms booked, one with an outside bath (not onsen), one with an onsen, and a regular room. The regular room looked like a regular western hotel room (NOT a japanese business hotel room so you actually have space to move around!). The room with the onsen is in a separate building across the street. The onsen can fit 2 people comfortable and has a nice view of a private garden. The room is also quite spacious with a living room area. The room with the outdoor bath is the biggest of the 3 we booked. The bath was large enough for a single person to stretch out and take a nap. I was the only to use the bath so I can't say how many people can fit comfortably. In terms of the other facilities, there's two public onsens (public in the sense that any guest can use it). There's a large and "small" bath, separated by men and women and rotated throughout the day. While knowing the kanji for men and women would generally be useful, the colored banners reflect which one is which and the large onsen is labeled. The "small" onsen isn't really small. It can comfortable fit a good amount of people. It's small in the sense that the larger one has 2 onsens, one of the same size and one that's smaller but also outside. I personally like the outside onsen. The restaurant is spacious and wasn't overcrowded (I'm guessing there's multiple dinner times). The dinner and breakfast menus were absolutely delicious! Lastly, the staff are super accommodating!

I personally give a mediocre vote to the service. For some reason, we were really late for the checkout. I emailed the hotel twice throughout the day, but there was never an answer. The man who checked us in was really nice. However, he didn't tell us we had to reserve breakfast for the day after. So we missed it. When we checked out, the man was kinda rude. Good experience, but for the price and Japanese standards, I expected better.

The facility was stunning. We had the king-size room with our private little onsen outside. Mountain wiew, we couldn't ask for more. If you have tattoos, you are not allowed into the shared bath. Room deserves a 10.

Nothing to complain.

Very nice hotel, you get a welcome drink when you check in, the dinner is very much a recommendation from our site. Delicious and a nice event. If you stay there, book the dinner! The onsen is small but hot and clean. The rooms are clean and beautiful. Not the largest, but large enough. The staff is helpful and friendly. We would stay there again. We stayed in more expensive hotels in that area which where much worse in terms of service and quality of... everything.

bath is a bit too small, staff seems mortified when I spoke English

food is superb

The bathroom in the room is a little bit out dating but you can take the shower in the hot spring bathhouse.

The dinner is fantastic. The hot spring bathhouse is good. The public facilities are refined and elegance.

The property was stellar, looked very aesthetically pleasing. Helped wrap up our Japan vacation. I liked how nice the staff was.

Stayed in March 2023

no towels in the onsen bath facility and one of the onsen bath changing area was too small with one sink and one chair

quiet location and good value, breakfast and dinner were good

Stayed in January 2023

The onsen baths that are available for guests staying at there aren't a variety of bath options. We had our own in our room on the balcony.

The location is remote to 30mins drive from Hakone. It was a really peaceful place, no kids were staying as it is adult only. Mostly couples staying, we selected to have breakfast and dinner during our stay as there isn't a lot of options available in the area.Food was really good.

We were a bit worried before we went that it is a little out of the way so a bit of effort was required to get there via public transport from Tokyo - 2 trains and a local bus - but it was very easy to do the journey using google maps and the journey was part of the fun! And it was ABSOLUTELY worth the effort to get there, this place was just wonderful.

Could not have loved this place more, it was the highlight of our whole trip. Amazing comfy bed with a lovely view. In the morining I had a relaxing soak in the lovely private bath on my balcony, which was surrounded by trees and birds singing, as the sun came up - absolutley perfect. Lovely traditional breakfast! The staff were really friendly and went out of their way to be helpful. Several of them spoke very good English. We paid to have a kaiseki dinner at the hotel and this was a wonderful experience - amazing food and we had such a lovely evening. Wish we could have stayed at this place for a week!

Checkout at 10 was a bit annoying. If it could've been 11 instead then it would've been perfect.

The dinner was phenomenal, the private hot spring in my room was super convenient, and the view of the mountain forest from my room was relaxing.
