I visited on a solo trip for medical treatment.This may be due to my lack of research, but it takes 40 minutes by bus from Hakone Yumoto Station. You will pass through a mountain road with a series of large curves. The bus was packed with foreign tourists. If the timing is bad, you will be refused boarding. There's nothing around the hotel, it's a 20 minute walk to a convenience store. It's located down a mountain road where you can easily run over it. There are no amenities. I was thinking that the only thing that was quiet was the fact that they were cleaning fallen leaves from 7am until noon.The old man comes and goes while making a tremendous mechanical noise. The footsteps from upstairs were very loud and I didn't feel well at all.You can only eat what you selected when making your meal reservation. My stay included breakfast, so I was only able to have breakfast. In the evening, I walked to the convenience store again. I had cup ramen for two nights. If you don't have a car, we recommend choosing a convenient location, even if it's a little more expensive.

It was very noisy with the footsteps of the children upstairs until around 11pm.It's a rinse-in shampoo, so if you need it, I think it's better to bring a complete bath set.

I went to stay with my family.It feels old and lacks service, but I guess it's okay because the price is cheap.The open-air bath is also small, but there weren't that many customers, so it didn't get too crowded.The guest room was spacious with a tatami room and a living room. The sofa seat was torn, but it seems they have no intention of repairing it.Although it is a place like that, I think it would be okay to stay there again next time.

I used it for a day trip bath on weekdays.I walked from the Glass Forest Museum, but there was no sidewalk? It's narrow so you should walk carefully.I arrived before business hours, butThere was no electricity at the entrance or inside the building, so I was a little worried about what I would do if it was closed.The lights came on and I was able to enter the lobby about 10 minutes before the scheduled time!Tell the staff at the reception that you are taking a day trip bath and they will lend you a bath towel.The open-air bath is small, but since it was almost reserved, I was able to take a bath without worrying! The quality of the spring water was very good with milky white turbid water♨️The public bath was large, but it was not a hot spring!The sauna was no longer available.

The Shiki Club was the third one I used in Hakone. It was probably the company's training facility. The lobby and lounge are luxurious, and there are conference rooms and a gymnasium. There is a large bathroom and an open-air bath with slightly cloudy hot springs, which is not very large, so you can relax.Although you can't expect great service, the good thing about it is that it's small, so there aren't many guests, so you can spend a quiet time.I felt that the seasoning was a little strong, but it was an elaborate dish.

I stayed in a Japanese-Western style room without meals that day. Based on the reviews, I brought my toothbrush and hair dryer and went with low expectations, expecting it to be like a lodging or spa.However, the building that appeared among the trees had a luxurious feel and made me feel excited. The windows in the room were large and it felt like being in a forest, which was soothing.I bought dinner and breakfast at the food store Aoki Gotemba branch in Gotemba City, and I think this combination was good. The downside is that there is no microwave. In other words, the Shiki Club doesn't have a coin laundry, and I feel like they don't want you to stay overnight.The public bath is not a hot spring, but it is a good size and very satisfying. The open-air bath on the 1st floor of the accommodation building is small, but in the men's bath, you can see the slippers of those taking a bath from the landing on the 2nd floor, so if there are too many, you may want to change your time or go to the large bath in the administration building first. I didn't feel any inconvenience as I was just using it.So far, if I were to use it as if it were a vacation home, I would give it 5 stars, but there are some things I would like to see improved immediately.・I can't sleep because the pillows on the bedding are too soft.・The mattress is so thin that I can't sleep in a Japanese-style room because my back hurts.If they could really improve this area, I think it would be the perfect accommodation for our family. Therefore, I am considering using a Western-style room next time.

Threatening hotel. Late at night, it appears in guest rooms where employees are sleeping. No refund or apology.Don't call yourself a customer service worker. Don't call yourself an accommodation facility.
