Hotel berhampiran Kuil Hakone, Hakone

Great experience. The staff were lovely and the area is beautiful. Rooms are very homely and comfy. We went into the onsen both nights and it was great. We also got dinner both nights at the hotel and the food was good we were impressed. Overall it felt like a very personal stay and couldn't be happier. For some of the logistics if you are wanting to do the hakone main loop. We recommend coming in from Shinjuku on the romance car, take the montain train up to Gora and then the cable car to Sounzan. We then took a roughly 10min bus from Sounzan to Yuyu. The next morning we then took the same bus back to Sounzan and caught the first 9am ropeway fo start off the loop. We managed to avoid most of the crowds and it was very convenient. Once again couldn't recommend Yuyu enough thank you for the great stay!!

Great place to stay in Hakone! Just few walks away from the bus stop and town proper of Motohakone, where tourist attractions are located. Feels like home when you stay in this accommodation. I love the hot spring w/ overview of the suburb. Overall, great service, cleanliness, and comfy stay.

A wonderful authentic Japanese experience. Great service despite us not speaking the same language (They are very adept at using Google translate). Good Location for Hakone Open Air Museum and for being able to get on the bus back to the station early before it gets so crowded it doesn't stop for more passengers. I didn't manage to use the pass for the baths over the road, but great to have that included in the price if you do have time. Some lovely gardens right opposite the hotel.

We loved this experience! After travelling from Tokyo that morning and all around Hakone, we were wrecked by the time we got to the accommodation. The hosts offer free collection from the bottom of the cable car. We text them saying we would be arriving in 10 minutes and they had someone waiting for us. The check in was smooth and the hosts are very accommodating, have good English and will do anything they can to help you. We had a room with a Mt. Fuji view who was on show for a few hours. They then brought us in a shuttle to a nearby restaurant and the restaurant brought us back to the accommodation. The accom was very big for the two of us and we found the beds really comfy. We also got private onsen for 30 mins (available between 10-11pm) for only 2,000 yen. In the morning, they dropped us back (again free) to our bus stop. We loved this whole experience and calm back feeling relaxed and revived. Couldn’t recommend more!

Nice hotel and quite not to far to everywhere. Also they have a free shuttle bus to Gora Sta.

The hotel location was great. We were in Hakone for the Onsen (hotel springs), and the hostel was near a lot of them. The staff was very helpful and enthusiastic. The hostel also offered an interesting diner, but we haven't try it. The building and interior was looking very Japenese traditional. Much appreciated for an immersive experience in Japan!

Managed to get on the last boat ride across Lake Ashi and was there in time for the hotel shuttle pick up. It was pitch dark out around 5pm during Japan's autumn however the hotel lobby is cozy and inviting, one that is full of history. The friendly front desk handed me a key with a large wooden key chain, and I checked out the large room prior to my dinner timing. There's a door to partition the bedroom and toilet/entrance area which felt nice. Dinner was a set menu and one that was filling. There are ice machine dispenser at the male onsen level and female onsen was on the highest floor. There's a lift that brings you to right outside the spa so visitors won't have to walk across the lobby area in their yukatas. Onsen was clean and spacious, there's a shower area to clean up, a sauna, outdoor and indoor onsen. Dressing room area has all the amenities you need and the ice popsicle after onsen is a nice touch. Woke up the next morning to catch the sunrise and caught a nice view of golden rays spewing across Lake Ashi, the garden and the glorious Mount Fuji right from my room. 100% recommended staying at this hotel! Had a super filing Japanese breakfast and checked out to explore the rest of Hakone.

Есть плюсы и минусы пребывания здесь! Плюсы: сам отель, вежливый персонал, чистый большой, атмосферный номер с видом на горы, в стоимость входит общественный онсен, достаточно приятный особенно если вам повезет быть там одному, как повезло нам (были утром). В отеле есть автоматы с напитками и едой, что очень удобно, т к магазинов по близости нет. Можно заказать услугу отправки вашего багажа на станцию, чтоб не тащить самим, но мы не успели к сожалению, ее можно заказать до 10 утра. Минусы: увы они сильно отпечатались, отель находит ся в ужасно не удобной отдаленной локации, прям в глуши куда сложно добраться, вдали от всех достопримечательностей за которыми вы едите, до них мы плыли на корабле, вдали от любых заведений где вы захотите раздобыть еду, заведения мало того что далеко, закрываются рано, открываются поздно, еще и цены завышены, а еда не вкусная. Такси до места проживания вызвать не смогли, т к нужно было привязывать местный номер тел!сначала шли пешком с чемоданами по дороге, потом сели в автобус ( автобусы не принимали наш пасс, карту которую мы специально купили для Хаконэ, хотя автобусы в нее входят. А цена на них без карты явно завышена, 300р чтоб проехать 8 мин в гору. Так как у нас был забронирован еще другой онсен индивидуальный в другом месте (20 мин езды) после него в 21 вечера поняли что автобусы уже перестали ходить, такси без шансов вызвать или поймать , пришлось идти пешком до отеля, а это 2 часа по темной дороге в горах, вокруг лес, и изредка попадаются фонари… ловили попутки никто не останавливается, даже такси. Спустя час дороги в гору (не передать наши эмоции) машина 10 по счету если не больше, остановилась и молодая пара японцев нас подвезла до отеля. В общем сам отель хороший (кстати ночью еще было холодно, грелись кондиционером, но номер большой его сложно прогреть, спасибо были большие одеяла запасные) но все остальное в плане места ужас( Если будете останавливаться, заранее продумайте на чем будете ездить.

I had a wonderful stay at Rakuten Stay Fujimi Terrace! The day before check-in, I received an email with the entrance code, which made the whole process very smooth. The room was exactly as described on the website—with large windows offering an incredible view of Mt. Fuji, the torii gate, and the lake. The scenery alone made it more than worth it. We had eight people staying in two 4-person rooms located on the third floor. One of the rooms was slightly larger and had extra bedding stored in the closet—enough to comfortably sleep two additional people. There were two bathrooms and two toilets in total, which was perfect for a group or family. The main bathroom included a sauna, hot spring-style bath, shower area, double sinks, a washing machine, and a water dispenser. The second bathroom had a separate shower area and a single sink. Both toilets were separated spaces from bathrooms with high-tech with bidet functions and small sinks. The large dining table and spacious sofa area easily seated all of us. We spent many relaxing moments on the balcony, soaking our feet in the warm onsen foot bath, chatting, and admiring the stunning view. The kitchen was fully equipped with a dishwasher, detergent, a large fridge stocked with complimentary drinks, a capsule coffee machine, and a Japanese rice cooker that made delicious rice. The beds were on the firmer side but still soft and very comfortable. It was just a 3-minute walk along the lake to the 7-Eleven, accessible by elevator from the building. The nearby pier was where we boarded the pirate ship cruise, and about 13 minutes further along the lake was the Peace Torii—a fantastic photo spot. Don’t forget to grasp some delicious bread at “bakery and table” before boarding to the ship. After check-out, we stored our luggage in the lockers at Motohakone Port, took the pirate ship to Togendai, transferred to the ropeway to Sounzan, and visited Gora and Kowakudani before taking the mountain bus back to Motohakone to pick up our luggages. There are 4 lockers for suitcase up to 32 inches ¥700, 12 lockers for 24 inches ¥600, and 10 lockers for smaller size of bags ¥400. From there, we had a pre-arranged shuttle take us back to Tokyo. The whole route was smooth and well-organized—perfect for a larger group traveling without a car. Overall, I highly recommend Rakuten Stay!

Nice traditional Ryokan. The staff was mostly non-Japanese so did not feel super authentic. Rooms were large and nice, but location of Ryokan is 25min drive from the main train station, which made exploring a little more trouble some. The staff were generally friendly, but extremely inflexible, which I suppose one would need to expect in Japan. But given the front desk staff was not even Japanese we found this to be a little frustrating at times.
