I always use the hot springs for day trips. There are only two baths in the women's bath, but there is a kids' room, footbath, and drink bar, so you can enjoy it even with children.

Have only stayed one night so far but already had to review - this place is amazing! It's truly an escape, nestled in a small and calm area of Japan countryside. The amenities are the most generous I've encountered. There are two private onsens and a public one for each gender. There is a lovely outdoor hot footbath and a gas bonfire to sit around, surrounded by trees and fairy lights. The library area is large and even includes a selection of English manga - not to mention possibly the best part, free beer and liquor/soda you can mix yourself and treats like sponge cake and cream, creme brulee style pudding and coffee jellies, all self serve from 7pm to 10pm. You put on your yukata and putter down to the library, pour yourself a drink and grab some treats, go find a nice book to read and choose a comfy pillow from a literal wall of pillows. The front staff were so friendly and accommodating and my partner and I were immediately impressed - almost shocked by what a lovely experience it was! They also upgraded our tiny room to a much larger one for free, which really made our experience all the better. I will be highly recommending this hotel to anyone who wants to pass through and visit the lovely Hakone.

We visited in October and enjoyed our stay. The rooms were exactly as described (very well maintained and comfortable). The staff were very friendly and accommodating, and staff and visitors alike were welcoming to families. Their buffet style breakfast offered an array of choices that most people would enjoy. The bathing rooms were peaceful, along with the other areas within the hotel (library, playroom, and more). We very much enjoyed our stay and would recommend the hotel.

Great location for your visit around the Hakone loop. Our room was fantastic and the staff were super friendly. We had an evening meal there one evening as well (drinks included) and that was great value and delicious.

Stayed in a condo with my 0 year old and 3 year old.Honestly, I don't want to stay at this hotel again.・It's an auto-locking apartment rather than a condo, so everything including meals and kids space must be outside.(Luckily it was sunny, but I think rainy days are the worst)(The 2nd and 4th floors were accessed by stairs because the elevator didn't stop, and my house was on the 3rd floor, so I took the elevator.)(Transportation between the west and east buildings is indoors, but there are about 20 stairs)・As there are many stairs, the use of strollers is restricted.Although I knew this from reviews, it was still inconvenient.・The coffee server in the condominium building is not managed, so there is no coffee and no cleaning is done for a day.・Elevator is extremely narrow・Since I mentioned that I had a 0-year-old child, I was hoping that they would provide a baby bathtub, soap, etc., but they only provided diapers and trash cans, so I had to tell them exactly what I needed.・The bed was so damp that I couldn't sleep (they changed the bedding immediately after I contacted them)・The baby food is helpful, but the variety on the buffet is quite limited, and the main meat is dry (maybe the only seasoning is miso?)・The worst thing wasCockroaches and cockroaches kept coming out of the bedroom.By the way, the general parking lot seems to be a short walk from the hotel.There were only three parking spaces in the condominium building, and our house was empty, so we were able to park there.I was really looking forward to it,It was a disappointing hotel.

I was able to spend the whole day relaxing in an all-inclusive hotel. The customer base is good and I would like to use them again.

With this all-in-one stay, you can also enjoy a private hot spring at no extra charge.You can also enjoy all-you-can-eat ice cream, drinks, and simple sweets. At night, you can drink as much alcohol as you like, so you can enjoy it to the fullest.

Annex? I stayed in a larger room.The location is good, and although it is completely indoors, the bath in the room is a hot spring bath and the walls are made of glass, so you can see the scenery when you open the indoor curtains.The room was a 1LDK with a large terrace where you could relax, a very large sofa, a large dining room, and a kitchen.There was a TV in each of the bedroom and living room.Private baths are also relatively easy to use.In addition to meals, there is a relaxing space where drinks, snacks, and sweets are served, and you can read books and manga. It was nice to be able to have free drinks such as coffee in the annex even though it was far from the main building.It's just a shame about the food. I've never been on a trip before where my kids didn't eat much of anything except for the main course, even though it was a buffet for both dinner and breakfast, which was really annoying...and it was two nights in a row.However, other than the meals, there was a footbath, a children's area, free popsicles, a kotatsu in the tent, and other fun things to do, so overall I was satisfied.Everything else was good, so I recommend staying without meals for families who are particular about food. This is the best hotel if you can stay overnight without meals.If food is included, I won't return.

The hardware and staff service is at an acceptable level, but the software service is so bad that it's not worth mentioning.If you want to eat delicious food and spend a relaxing time, and if you have experience staying at various inns, you may want to consider another hotel.This is the use of the hotel building.・Meals ☆☆☆☆☆The only thing that tasted good during my stay was the pumpkin pudding served in the lounge.There is nothing to praise about dinner. I think it's best to imagine the fish and side dishes you bought at the supermarket lined up in a buffet style. The menu is full of dishes that don't require much effort, perhaps because the aim is to make the cooking process as simple and hassle-free as possible. As a result, it has become a competition for ingredients, and the poor quality of the ingredients (maybe they don't have good taste in the first place??) is becoming even more obvious. Looking back, the seats were very empty, so I realized that the repeat customers were well aware that the food was not that good.The scrambled eggs for breakfast were good.・Hot spring ★★★☆☆There is no open-air bath, but the public bath is spacious and clean enough for an inn that costs a reasonable amount of money. I think it is suitable for relaxing in a bath that is not crowded. The source is Ninohira Onsen.・Staff ★★★★☆I think the education is good. Check-in was handled by foreign staff. There were times when I had to ask questions, but they were very good at responding in Japanese. I was left with a good impression of how they do their best to accommodate not only inbound tourists but also Japanese people.・Guest rooms ★★★★☆The room and bed are comfortable for the price. The wash basin is very narrow.Even though you can get soft drinks in the lounge, it would be a pain to go far so I thought it would be nice to have a bottle of water in the room.·othersThere were paintings all over the guest room aisles, and it was really fun to walk around looking at them.However, the price of the painting was also written on the panel with the title and artist's name, so I couldn't understand what they wanted customers to think when they saw the price.I have been looking forward to staying at this inn ever since it opened because of the sense of security that it is a hotel run by the Odakyu Group and the very good reputation it has on the internet. My wish came true and I was able to stay here this time, but it was very disappointing. I felt sad that during my stay, I unconsciously started looking for things that were wrong.

It was a great accommodation for families with children.・Baby bed available・Free baby food available・Kids space available・Tatami room with low bed・Many types of baby chairs to choose fromIt was new and the facility was very clean.My 1-year-old child was also having fun and playing, so I was glad that we chose this place.One thing was that the mat was too small to fit the crib, so I used a bath towel to fill in the missing mat.You can rest assured that we have the perfect one for you.

Wow, this was a real japanese experience! Food was very delicious, huge breakfast buffet with Japanese and "western" food. Best part: Onsen and huge relaxing area. Complementary food and beverages. Dinner was also incredible, even alcoholic drinks were included. Traditional kind of bed on the ground, but real mattresses, no futons. Friendly staff, as usual in Japanese hotels.
