Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The facility and staff were wonderful. They have a public bath separated by men and women with all the amenities you would need, the baths aren’t big probably wouldn’t fit more than 3-4 people at a time. But due to many rooms having their own bath plus the private ones we can reserve it is never crowded. Only once did I see another guest using the bath when I went during my 2 night stay. The service was great, most staff spoke enough English communication was no problem. The room was roomy and had a wonderful view of the surrounding mountain area. The food was the only thing that I thought was mediocre, it was well presented but the food itself was pretty basic and the same every morning and night so if you’re staying for more than 2 nights be prepared to eat the same food for each meal. I was a solo traveler and during dinner they put me in a private stall it was nice to have a little area to myself. Overall a wonderful experience!

I stayed here for a night and it was an amazing experience! I had a room with a private outdoor open-air bath which runs 24/7. With the stay I also had dinner and breakfast. The staff were very courteous, spoke very good english, and even gave us a tour of their amenities & facilities. The dinner tasted great, however, it took extraordinarily long. What could've been a one hour kaiseki meal turned into two hours, with probably one hour of waiting most likely due to the large number of people they needed to serve. The breakfast was quick and easy though. Beyond this, the staff are very polite and I would definitely recommend and come back here again!

We had a great stay at this hotel. It is right on a bus route with the stop right in front of the hotel. The included dinner and breakfast was also amazing, with traditional and western options for breakfast. Try the Hakone loop bus, boat, rope line (ie gondola) and cable car attraction when you’re staying.
