Private hot spring hotel.

I'm amazed! Hakone, Japan is really a great place for a vacation! || My first impression of Hakone 🎋 is the lush greenery and the relaxing time spent soaking in the hot springs in the mountains. I chose Kinnotake Tonosawa Ryokan on the recommendation of a friend. It's about a 10-minute drive from Hakone Station 🚗. After crossing the suspension bridge over the valley, the hotel's greenery comes into view, exuding a sense of tranquility and design. This hotel is hidden in the valley and has 23 guest rooms, each with a private hot spring ♨️. The rooms are unique, with a duplex layout on the first floor and a private hot spring closer to the bamboo forest. The second floor has a large flat design, with the private hot spring connected to the balcony, like an infinity pool 🏊. The room amenities are also very complete, including basic toiletries, makeup remover, facial cleanser, body lotion, and hair clips. In autumn, after the rain, the fragrance of grass and trees mixed with the smell of earth, the breeze blowing, the rustling of bamboo leaves, and the gurgling of spring water. Surrounded by warm spring water 💦, all the fatigue is washed away. After soaking in the hot spring, the whole body relaxes, and I fall asleep on the soft bed 💤. I wake up in the morning and soak in the hot spring again, feeling a completely different atmosphere with the morning mist and birdsong. After arriving at the hotel, the staff 👩‍💼 warmly welcomed me and took my luggage to the room. Check-in and check-out procedures are completed in the room, and someone will guide you when you go out, so guests rarely meet other guests. The staff speaks fluent English and has a translator for easy communication. At 3 pm, I enjoyed a delicious afternoon tea ☕️, with tea and snacks complementing each other. Guests can decide the dinner time, and the hotel serves exquisite kaiseki cuisine 🍱. Although each dish is small, it is rich and varied, and I feel full after eating!
