Ulasan Harriway Onsen Hotel Hakone

Nestled on a quiet hilltop in the small village of Ohiradai the Harriway Summit View Onsen Hotel is a perfect rest stop for those visiting the Hakone area. The location is serene and quiet with stunning views and the divine sound of spring water trickling through the town. For those on the free pass doing the Hakone loop; simply start at Hakone-yumoto station and head towards Motohakone-ko and you'll arrive there at end of your adventure. We received a genuinely warm greeting from the sweet owner. She showed us our spacious room, dressed my daughter in her yukata and gave us a hotel tour. Our western style room was huge and well appointed, though the beds were a tad hard for someone used to a cushy sleep. The onsen is divine. My five year old and I enjoyed a tranquil soak twice; in the evening and the early morning. They are gender segregated and feature a picturesque forest view. Something to note: this is a quiet spot, outside the hustle and bustle of Hakone proper. There are few food options and the local convenience stores close early. So either eat before you arrive or bring food with you. Overall a wonderful stay and one I would heartily recommend. I'd definitely stay again next time I visit the area.
