It's near Gora Station, so it's convenient for both the Hakone Tozan Railway and by car.The rooms are old and the lobby furniture is full of history.The front desk is located on B1.Park your car in an empty space in the free parking lot in front of the hotel, then take the elevator to B1.After checking in, select your yukata, razor, etc. from the shelf next to the elevator on each floor and head to your room.There are separate baths for men and women and private baths. The large public bath has an indoor bath with a size of about 6 tatami mats and an outdoor bath with a size of 4.5 tatami mats. It is flowing slowly. The only amenities are shampoo, conditioner, and body hope. The room has a unit bath.The meals for both breakfast and dinner are small and you won't be able to choose much, but you will be satisfied. I think it can't be helped considering the cost of accommodation. I like that alcohol is free.You can choose to pay by cash or card at the time of entry.There are no excessive services, so if you think it's cheap, you'll be satisfied.

I used it on a family trip.The hot springs, the food, and the staff's service were all very good.The meal was a buffet with a large selection of items, and the roast beef was delicious.They had different tastes for breakfast and dinner.I used the hot springs as a family bath and a large public bath.The washing area in the family bath was a little small, but the bathtub was large enough for three people.The staff were all very kind and made us feel comfortable.The room was also quiet and relaxing.It's right in front of Gora Station, which was a great location for me because I have trouble walking.I would like to use them again.Everyone in my family said, ``It was a great hotel!'' as we headed home.thank you very much.

The equipment is old and there is a strange smell in the room. Some areas were not cleaned properly, and there was hair from the previous person left in the sink.There are many types of buffet and the quality is not bad. Also, the location is pretty good.

1 minute walk from Gora Station.There are several souvenir shops in front of the station, but they close around 5:30 pm. There are no convenience stores, so it's a good idea to buy food and drinks in your room along the way.Of course, hotels also sell canned beer, but they are expensive.The hot spring water is soft and quite nice 👍However, it's just a hotel hot spring, so it's not that big, and there's one indoor bath and one outdoor bath. There are no saunas. Shampoo, conditioner, and body soap are good because they have tops inside.I went there by car because the only vacancy was the plan without a parking lot, but there are many P stores in front of me and nearby that charge around 1,000 yen for 24 hours. And I think it's definitely empty.Viking dinner. Comes with all-you-can-drink alcohol. This is awesome! ! Enough variety👍The food is good enough for this price! !I think he's actually trying his best. The main roast beef wasn't bad either 👌 The sweet shrimp was delicious and shrimp heads were scattered all over the table (lol)Sometimes there was a guy with a strange taste (lol)Salmon is the cheap one at conveyor belt sushi (lol)Overall, it's best not to have too high expectations, but it's okay to look forward to it a little (lol)The hotel as a whole is retro. At worst, it's old. However, if you can feel the oldness in a retro way, you will have a happy time.The room was also clean 👍

Hotel guest room "twin"It said that there would be a yukata in the room, but I didn't have it, so I had better bring one.The bed is quite hard, so I think it's good for people who like hard things.The room as a whole has the feel of a country hotel that looks like something out of an old-fashioned fire drama, and the price is reasonable, so I don't think it's best to come with high expectations.There aren't many outlets and the TV is small.bathIt's not very big, but the water is soft and not too hot. (There is no sauna etc.)I read a review that said it was slimy, but I thought it might have been due to body soap remaining on the body.The meal time was set by the hotel, which required us to enter the restaurant by 6:15 p.m.Overall it was delicious, the drinks were sweet potatoes, Japanese plums, beer, plum wine, and soft drinks.As for the food, there are two types of salmon sashimi, shrimp only, and the rest is boiled and grilled dishes, soba, udon, spaghetti with meat sauce, roast beef, and beef tongue curry.Overall, I think the facilities, service, food, and baths are worth the price.I hope this is helpful for those staying overnight.

The cost performance is very good. There are a lot of things that are unsatisfactory, but considering the cost performance, I'm satisfied.

I think I was probably the first to arrive (check-in at 3pm).There was no one in the bathroom, so I took a photo.The bath is the bestShower water pressure: StrongCleanliness: excellentWomen's bathThere are 10 washrooms.Large public bath, open-air bath, and indoor bathShampoo, conditioner, and body soap included (POLA has a scent similar to cosmetics, but there is no problem with washing.)Makeup remover and face wash included (I took off my makeup before that and didn't use it, so I can't say anything about it)A hair dryer, paint-on treatment (milk type), and peeling gel are available at the large bath sink.(I brought them with me so I didn't use them)There was nothing to do in Gora at night, so I went to soak in the hot springs three times.My knees hurt the next day, probably because I had walked 15,000 steps that day, but thanks to the effects of the hot springs, my muscles didn't hurt at all.The pain in my knee subsided faster than usual.What surprised me was the difference in how I applied my makeup in the morning!The more time you spend putting on makeup, the moreI often go to Kuroyu Onsen in Tokyo, but it was something completely different.The quality of the spring water was wonderfulmealI often use all-you-can-eat and drink hotels, but it was better than Itoen Hotels.But...at dinner time, maybe because there were a lot of elderly people, it was buffet style, but there were so many people lined up that I couldn't get anything.I think it's better if you stop the tray and just use the plate, because everyone will go for what they like.I couldn't get my food ready for 10 minutes after entering the restaurant.During that time, I drank two glasses on an empty stomach.Due to the long line for dinner, breakfast was delayed a bit.I got it easily without lining up.Also, the miso soup for breakfast was excellent.Would you have been happy if there was porridge? That's about itOverall, I don't have any complaints other than the customer base, but the location of Gora is bad (there are no convenience stores), so instead of selling ice at the store, they have a self-service ice machine, and they offer more reasonable rates for single guests. I would appreciate it if you would let meSo ☆4 ( ´>ω<)person
