The cost of staying at this hotel is much cheaper than the luxury hotels in Hakone, the rooms are spacious, and you can enjoy delicious French cuisine both morning and night.Moreover, in the evening, there is a full course menu with a choice of three dishes, and the owner provides friendly customer service.The inn has a small number of rooms, is well-maintained, and has a wonderful historical atmosphere, giving you a sense of calm and elegance.I ordered a beer for dinner and drank tea from a plastic bottle in the fridge in my room, which paid me ¥18,000 per person, including breakfast and dinner, with change.That night's full French course alone was cheap even at this price. In particular, the ``Saury fish and taro terrine'' was exquisite. The bread was also delicious.I have never stayed in such a good and reasonable accommodation.Hey, is it true? It's a lie, it's amazing, I'm surprised, I can't believe it, it's amazing, it's high cost performance, etc.Recommended.

It was my first visit when my friend made a reservation for me when I was on a trip to Hakone.There was a parking lot at the top of a steep slope that resembled a wall, and then there was a store after going up some stairs.The season of fresh greenery.There is a cute Western-style building in front of a lush green garden.2 star auberge style restaurant (with accommodation).When I opened the bright red door, I took off my shoes and entered the store.Taisho Roman style interior.Dining table and chairs on tatami mats, French cuisine served on Japanese tableware, served with chopsticks.This time I reserved a petit lunch course for 2,700 yen.From hors d'oeuvres to desserts, you can see the chef's commitment and careful work.Dishes made with plenty of vegetables grown in Hakone.Choose meat for the main dish. The beef cheek meat is so tender that you can drink it without chewing.It's not Ni◯li, but I had a better time than I paid for it lolThis is a restaurant I highly recommend when you go to Hakone.

I thought it would be a bit difficult to get into, but when a friend persuaded me to go there, I was surprised by the incredible quality of the place.The lunch courses, which start at 2,700 yen (tax not included?), feature dishes that look like they were made by professional seaweed and served on carefully selected plates.We were able to enjoy a relaxing time surrounded by lush greenery from a lovely Japanese-style house.I liked both the bread and coffee so much that I ended up ordering a second helping.As others have written, it is a completely one-off operation, and the meal went so smoothly that you didn't notice it.(However, please note that it probably won't be suitable for those in a hurry.)This is a very good shop with excellent cost performance!

I've used it several times, but this time the customer service was the worst.I could tell that he was in a bad mood from the beginning, probably because he wasn't always serving customers and arrived much earlier than the reservation time.The explanations of the dishes and the placement of plates and forks were all too sloppy.It was a shame because the food was delicious.The dishes change with the seasons, and I look forward to visiting each time, but I will never go again.

I stayed for one night. The room was spacious and clean, but there were a lot of insects and big spiders, probably because there were a lot of plants around.The staff was kind and turned on the heating and hot water pot before checking in (although I couldn't adjust the air conditioner...)There is also a convenience store 2-3 minutes away by car, making it a very convenient facility.If I have a chance next time, I would like to try the restaurant as well.
