Kanagawa ili, Japonya İçindeki Kaplıcalı Otelleri

Very modern Japanese hotel. It is quite new as it is refurbished 2 years ago. Very clean and the onsen in the hotel is very modern. They offer another onsen which is opposite the hotel, which is much bigger but older. Room is small but adequate enough with everything supplied. Free parking and outside is the bus stop for those taking public bus. Overall hotel is great but abit pricy.

The location was about a km away from Kowakidani Sta. Not really far but the recommended path by Google Maps (at least to me) was along the mountain highway. It was rainy and i was walking alone at night. I sometimes pass by vehicles on the road 🥲 I was late for checkin (past 22:00) so I had my Japanese friend call the hostel. They said it's okay to come until 23:00 as the hostel cafe is also open until then. The bedspace in the mixed dorm was spacious enough and the ladder for the upper beds was sturdy. *The restroom in the main hostel is better maintained than the one in the annex. The hostel restaurant is very nice and they let me stay for a bit after checkout as the rain was pouring that day. The owner's dog is named Rum 🥹

We stayed in Hakone for one night for the onsen and Ryokan experience. While this hotel is certainly more budget than all of the nearby fancy hotels, it is a great option in an otherwise very expensive area. We had the traditional Japanese room and slept on relatively comfortable futons on the tatami mat. Dinner was included in the rate and consisted of a very large and tasty hotpot which we heated up on our Japanese low table. As others have said the hotel is located up a HUGE hill, however it wasn’t a problem for us as we used the luggage service at Hakone station to send our bags to and from the hotel so we could focus on sightseeing. Buy some drinks and snacks at the mini market before you walk (or tram) up, because trust me you won’t want to go back down again ;-)

O hotel foi maravilhoso para nossa família! Adoramos o Onsen, depois de uma jornada de viagens, foi muito relaxante! Tem ”café da manhã” estilo comida japonesa, self service e bem servida. A única coisa é que poderia deixar mais claro na descrição dos ”quartos individuais”: na verdade são ”cápsulas”, talvez colocar fotos além da descrição, com mais detalhes. Fazia parte do planejamento da família ter uma experiência deste tipo, mas acabamos não reservando hotéis cápsulas no nosso roteiro de viagem. Para minha família foi uma surpresa muito agradável e única!

A lovely ryokan-style stay in Hakone A very good ryokan-style hotel offering great value for money and an excellent opportunity to experience an onsen in its natural setting. The kaiseki-style dinner was rich and beautifully presented, with plenty to taste and enjoy. Breakfast was equally generous – make sure you’re ready for it, as we were still full from the previous evening! Sleeping on futons was surprisingly comfortable, and the room’s opening window with a small terrace overlooking the garden was fantastic. We had to change rooms during our stay, and the staff were exceptionally helpful, taking every step to ensure we were happy. And we truly were – thank you, arigatou gozaimasu! Enjoy your stay!

The location of the hotel is very good. It's facing the sea, and very near to the beach. Basically just need to cross the road to the beach. The room is clean, space is not big. For my room, seems there was not a ventilation fan in the toilet or it was not working. There was a lot steam after taking a shower. The car park is big and parking fee is 1000yen. A free spa is available for every guest. Everyone needs to pay spa tax at 150yen per head regardless using spa facilities located at 3 floor or not. A premium spa service is available at 4th floor with 1500yen charge. The breakfast is at 3200yen. Overall, in my opinion it's a bit pricey. I stayed in the hotel on 16 Mar 2024. It's still a bit cold, so I didn't have the spa even though paying the spa tax. It's a bit wasted. I wouldn't recommend this place for winter time.

This hotel is conveniently located. It is a traditional Japanese hotel with a lot of facilities. It is very beautiful, particularly the garden which is big and serene. The hot spring having both indoor and outdoor pools is impressive. The dining experience is fantastic because the setting is cosy and the food is extremely delicious. The mattresses, neither too soft, nor too hard, are very comfortable.

The service was excellent. The hot springs were very enjoyable. They have different types of hotsprings (regular, carbonic acid, cold). The food was excellent. We were stuffed. The portion was huge and the variety was wide.  Hygiene was great. The room was spotless and the balcony was very romantic under the moon light. Well worth the money.

フロントスタッフさん、お部屋のクリーンスタッフさんの対応もとても丁寧で気持ちよく過ごすことができました。

A comfortable stay with staff who are attentive to service. We loved the location of the ryokan and both the private and public onsens were clean and well-kept. We also found the quality of the food from restaurant very good. Loved how it was nestled high on the mountain which gave a bit of privacy. Shame the front facade was hidden due to renovations, but would love to come back again once it is fully renovated.
