Bar hotel, as the name suggests, is a bar-themed hotel.Two days and one night. Room type for two people. The Forest of Sculpture can be booked to pick you up from the hotel.Upon check-in, you will be greeted with champagne (pre-drink) and introduced to the environment.If you are not used to eating instant noodles (tom yum, green curry), you can go to Lawson next to the connection to bring instant noodles back to your accommodation and have a cup of hot soup after you finish it.The mini bar is very rich, including salty, sweet, potato chips and popcorn. Beer, water, coffee, local Ashigara matcha, Hakone black teaThere are public hot springs and additional private spaces for bathing and drinking.We tasted about 16 glasses + The Nikka +Nikka session.1.Kan-U2.

This is an irresistible inn for alcohol lovers. The main bar counter is where you can drink as much of your favorite alcohol as you like. If you tell the bartender (hotel staff) your preferences, they will make you an original cocktail.There is an additional charge for the dinner course, but each dish will be paired with a cocktail. It was a wonderful experience!

This time, we stayed in the Presidential Suite for one night to celebrate a birthday with three women.What is noteworthy about this inn is not only the facilities, but also the service and hospitality of the staff.Due to my work, I often work with 5-star hotels, and the staff here were all very pleasant, considerate, and attentive, and provided a high level of hospitality and customer service. However, it doesn't feel formal. I once again realized that a comfortable space is born from people.In particular, I would like to thank Mr. I, the concierge, Mr. S, who greeted us and saw us off, and Mr. T, who was in charge full-time. Please excuse me.)The bar staff also served customers in a warm atmosphere.The weather was unstable for two days before Typhoon No. 10 arrived, but the driver took care of us despite getting wet in the rain.As you can see on Youtube, the facilities are perfect. The image in the media seems to be a lively crowd of people drinking and drinking, but at the bar and breakfast venue, regulars can be seen talking to staff several times, and there are other guests. Despite this, the guidance and seats were arranged in such a way that we could not see each other. I think this is a villa in Hakone where you can forget about the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy a quiet and calm stay.The person in question said that it was the best birthday ever, as they arranged a separate surprise cake and responded to requests as much as possible. I plan to stay again once the New Year's peak season has subsided.Check-in is at 6pm and check-out is at a leisurely 2pm.There is a fee, but if you are staying in a suite, you may want to consider early check-in.When we actually got to our room, we were able to enjoy a welcome drink and light snack while saying that we were glad we had asked to get in early.Thank you very much to everyone at Bar Hotel Hakone Kayama for your help.

Top notch hidden gem.Beautiful, Calm, and Romantic.You must experience Presidential Suite room -all inclusive for dining and drinks, private bath & Sauna attached to your room, and high quality amenities & non-mini bar in your room. If you stay the presidential suite, you can enjoy food and drinks in your room (apparently, you cannot in other room types but in their bar area on the grand floor.)We had the best birthday celebration ever.2 min by car to Okada museum.They will pick you up at the nearest train station or at selected museums.Even in typhoon rain, our driver escorted us kindly.

I love traveling and have stayed at various inns and hotels all over the country.At the domestically-funded hotels and inns I have stayed at, I have often been exposed to various types of stress, and each time I have questioned the attitude of the facility management and left feeling incomplete. I was able to enjoy a completely stress-free stay at the hotel.Although we arrived a little earlier than the check-in time of 18:00, we were welcomed with champagne and were able to spend the waiting time comfortably.The indoor and outdoor lighting and sound plans were excellent, and the choice of fixtures showed great taste.It's not like they have particularly high-end items, but they have the right things in the right places. This alone will make you feel very comfortable.I wasn't disappointed by the excessively bright fluorescent lights, silent, bland lounges, and poor furnishings of traditional Japanese inns and hotels.Of course, the cocktail service at the bar, which is a feature of bar hotels, was impeccable, and all the cocktails served were of high quality and free-flowing, which was unbelievable.In addition, the a la carte food served at the bar is all delicious and tasteful, and goes well with alcohol. Personally, I liked the bagna cauda sauce as it was very creamy.In the morning, we chose the latest start time and had a champagne brunch starting at 11am. We had a relaxing time while looking at the magnificent scenery of Hakone.To all the people involved in Japanese inns and hotels who are woken up by a phone call even though they are on vacation and are forced to eat breakfast in a prison-like hall with no view at 8 a.m., please use this facility. I would like you to learn about our management attitude.We invest money and time to relax, so why do we have to finish breakfast at a time convenient to the management?Why are we forced into such a small space to ensure the flow of staff?There were no domestically-operated hotels that I would like to stay at again, but I would definitely visit here again. Thank you very much for your time.

It might be the best hotel in the world. I would like you to come to hotels all over Japan as an apprentice.Check-in is in the evening. I arrived an hour early, but after drinking champagne, the hour flew by.Speaking of all-you-can-drink, you might doubt the quality, but I enjoyed over 20 high-quality cocktails. The young female bartender's skills are amazing.It was a strangely luxurious and relaxing experience to soak in the hot springs and then go back to the bar. All of the food went well with sake, and I could feel the love that the management had for sake. I'm sure this hotel was designed by someone who loves alcohol.Breakfast is at 11:00 a.m. Check-out is at 2:00 p.m. If you proposed this luxurious hospitality to the proprietress of a hot spring inn, you would likely get slapped. All accommodations should be like this.The hot spring itself is beautiful and wonderful.It's the kind of inn where you feel the dilemma of not wanting to tell anyone, but wanting to brag about it.
