We had a nice little stay. My kids enjoyed the pool table and the private onsen. We slept Japanese style on the floor with a family of 5. We didn’t have any issues. We enjoyed some adult beverages as well as ate dinner. Dinner is nothing special but it was perfect for us. The staff were amazingly friendly and even spoke English to us. We would for sure stay again! There is a bus stop right outside of the hotel. It about a 15 min bus ride to the Ropeway. It’s also 10 min drive from Yunessun where we stopped on our way home.

The room was very nice, has a balcony, television, some smaller closets, tatami matress, a middle size table with floor chairs and futons. The staff was exceptional friendly and helpful. The only thing that bothers us, was our entry room door, it was very loud while opening, we think it needs some oiling, but besides that, everything was very pleasent.

Great remote hotel. Although, given it's location there is not much to do, and day trips would cost quite a lot of time in travel itself. The room and the service was great. The Onsen was really nice and easy to get access to by just reserving a time slot when you are checking in! The

Lovely place, but be prepared

Great staff and very nice place overall, especially the onsen was great. But the food was bad. And there’s nowhere else to eat at this location after 16.00 afaik. If you go here, bring your own food. You’re better off with 7-eleven snacks than with the overpriced tiny TV meals that the “restaurant” offers. Also the room had no working ac. Temperature was fine but humidity was 100. Pricing was not that transparent either, our +1 additional guest cost us more than the room itself but hotels app couldn’t tell to us. So it would’ve been cheaper for us to get two rooms than accommodate whole group in same room. Don’t get me wrong, the staff and place is lovely and exactly what the images tell, but be prepared with your own catering.

Great staff: we reached very late at night. The manager was kind enough to extend our onsen reservation for half hour without us asking. He stayed well past the midnight to make sure our onsen experience is complete! We are so grateful to him. Moreover, the facility is much nicer than we expected: Large lobby and living facilities, great decor and the private onsen is out of this world!

We had an amazing stay here! The staff was so helpful and accommodating for any of our needs or questions. They do have a limited food menu at the hotel but it was absolutely delicious! We ate on site both nights. The private onsen was fabulous and we were able to use twice daily. The floor mats were incredibly comfortable and we slept better here than most of the big hotels we stayed at in Tokyo. It took a little planning getting here via public transit but very much doable to get from here to Hakone and onward not having a private vehicle. This was our favorite stay in Japan.
