Although the meal was included in the room, we were not notified in advance that the menu had changed.When the food comes out, there is no grilled food. It became a mugwort bun. The only thing that came out was Zunda Manju. ? ? ? was.Furthermore, some edamame came out on the way, but it was discolored and rotten when I looked closely.Also, when serving the food, the food was not served carefully and was served with a clanking sound. Furthermore, I put it down from the seat across from me. Don't you usually put the food down slowly after coming next to you? I think.It was so messy that the arrangement in the bowl was falling apart.When serving the food, I was huffing and puffing as I served it. Wasn't this an inn based on the concept of relaxing, eating, and relaxing?Even if you ask questions about the food, you won't know because it's not a restaurant. One word.I will ask when the next product comes out! That was not the case.In the past, I would have been happy if you would give me detailed explanations of the dishes, but...The quality has clearly gone down.If this is the case, there will be no next time.

My family of three took care of me in mid-May 2014.It's located in a forest far from the center of Gora, and the building is a little old, but I think it matches the surroundings. There were a lot of insects (no problem for us at all), but I could hear the drumming of the woodpeckers.The hot springs were hot and had a sulfur smell (to the point where you couldn't get into them without adding water. Maybe it's because it's so close to Owakudani), and they were spacious and comfortable.The kaiseki dinner was delicious. (I think it's a little small for a big guy. I'm 180cm and over 80kg) Mr. Itamae came home suddenly sick for breakfast? The Nakai-san was sorry for being late, but I appreciate your respect. It wasn't a quick trip, so I relaxed in the massage chair. I think this is a hideaway-like inn that is perfect for relaxing in Hakone.

The review is late, but it was really good.There is a hot spring attached to the room, so you can enjoy the hot spring privately.It was nice to be able to use it freely at any time.And the food was delicious and the staff were really friendly. I would like to visit again.

It was around 5 pm when we arrived by car, because we had to go to the Heiwa Torii to take pictures before checking in. The procedure for checking into the room was also convenient, and the waiter personally led him to the room and explained the room equipment. It’s not a short drive from Yokohama, but when you arrive successfully, you have to appreciate that your abilities are up to standard.This is our first time staying in a traditional Japanese-style room. Although it is a bit difficult to adapt to sitting on the floor to eat, the food is ideal for us and the overall experience is great, especially the service attitude and explanations of the staff. There will be dedicated staff in the evening Come and set up dinner. After the meal, there will be a specialist who will collect the tableware and help make the bed. Although we only stayed for one night, it was a relaxing and peaceful place.Before arriving, we got lost on the road and inadvertently walked into the "Initial D" entrance of Hakone Hata-juku in the Japanese anime. The 180-degree mountain road was another exciting experience. Although we only rented a Nissan ROOX, these sections are for all car lovers. For Shilai, the thrill of 7 consecutive turns is another journey experience.

・Guest roomThere was a large living room with a sunken kotatsu, a bedroom with a massage chair, and an open-air bath where you could adjust the temperature yourself.There was also a chair, so I sat down and took my time.·serviceThe bus was delayed and we arrived just in time for dinner, but they greeted us even before we entered and even carried our heavy carry-on case to our room.The rice came out quickly, and all 11 dishes were really delicious.Furthermore, there is a bathing fee for the service? for free. (Sorry if it's vague,...)Unfortunately, it rained so much on the second day that I returned home that I didn't have an umbrella with me, but I was kindly asked to give me a new umbrella. . That was a really big help…!·placeIt is located in the middle of a very steep slope unless you go by bus or car. Buses didn't pass by often, so waiting for a bus in the rain was tough.Are you sure you can walk to the convenience store? There are no shops inside the inn, so you should buy what you need in advance.Also, being able to connect the game to the TV and play it was great! lolOne thing, I didn't know if the ventilation fan in the bathroom was very weak or on, so I opened the outside door in the bathroom before going to bed, but it seemed like steam was coming into the bathroom, so when I woke up, it was all over the floor. The ceiling and walls were all soaked with condensation. .After leaving the outside door fully open and the bathroom door closed for about 2 hours, the problem had subsided considerably, so I wiped it down as much as I could, but I wish they had warned me first.It seems that there were other guests staying, but I didn't hear any noise at all, so I think it's a good place to bring children!The room I stayed in didn't have a great view, so I might not recommend it to people who are looking for a view.However, it was a very good inn, so I would definitely use it again when I go to Hakone again!Thank you for reading such a long post! I would be happy if you could refer to it!

In February, I stayed in a separate building for one night in a room with a semi-open-air bath. Due to the forecast for snow in Hakone on this day, we decided to give up the car and go by train instead. I was thinking of taking a bus from Gora Station to the hotel, but due to an accident due to the snow, all buses were suspended. Long lines for taxis. When I was at a loss and contacted the hotel, they were happy to help. In addition, I often felt the thoughtfulness of the staff, such as drying my wet umbrella before handing it to me when I returned home.Thanks to Mangakurou's warm consideration, I was able to feel the thoughtfulness of the staff, and it became a memory of my worst snow trip. It became a memory of the trip. The hot spring bath in the room was the best, similar to the reviews from other people.It warmed me to the core and seemed to relieve my back pain.Also, the food was of a high standard and the quality of the ingredients was excellent.It was a great experience to see the skill of the head chef. This is also an inn that I would definitely like to stay at.

Thank you for your help many times. I've been looking forward to my first visit since the coronavirus outbreak.I loved the inn, not only because of the quality of the hot spring water, but also because the food was delicious.This time, when I had dinner on my first night, was that it? ? The taste is different from before...When I looked into it, it seems that the head chef was replaced.I'm sure it's difficult given the high prices, but I'm a little disappointed. The soup bowls here are always ingenious and I look forward to it, so I was disappointed that I had to eat it two days in a row.The quality of the hot water is still good, and the maid's attitude remains friendly. There are some inns in the same price range that have great food, hot water quality, and service, so I hope this changes in the future.Also, I couldn't meet the dog this time, but I think he was probably knocking on my room in the middle of the night. (It might be a cat.) I would be happy if I could meet you next time.
