I used it for a day trip bath.The bath was not large, but it was a very nice bath with acidic and cloudy water flowing directly from the source.However, it was quite high temperature and I had to add a lot of water before I could finally put it in.After taking a bath, they prepared cold water and chocolate in the front rest area.Great after a hot bathPlease be careful as the parking space is narrow and the visibility from the exit is poor.I would like to use it again

Use a day trip hot springYou can adjust the temperature yourself as the water flows directly from the source.It was a nice bath that made my skin smooth.The bath was separated by men and women for family use, but I was able to use it as a private bath.

I used it on New Year's Day. Although I am not a Keisei employee, I made a reservation at the Keisei Electric Railway's resort through a service that allows companies to share their facilities.You can feel very relaxed in the calm atmosphere of a ryokan with a wide veranda that gives you a sense of history.In recent years, people have tended to take baths that involve soaking in lukewarm water for hours on end, but having hot sulfur springs flowing directly through the water is nice.I liked the quality of the spring water.It's close to the cable car station, so you can use the Hakone Tour Pass to transfer to various vehicles and come without having to worry about traffic jams. If you use the cable car, you won't have to waste time waiting for the Owakudani parking lot.I will use it again!

I visited on February 4th (Sunday).It was around 13:00, but probably because it was snowing, there were no customers, so the place was reserved.The spring quality had a sulfur smell and was extremely pleasant.The temperature was a little hot, but since you could add water, you were able to get in at the right temperature.Things that I wish could be improved are:1. I would like to have a locker for valuables.I came here for a day bath, but there was no locker for valuables, so I left my wallet in the car, but I couldn't take my car keys with me, so I was a little cautious as I soaked in the bath.2. I would like a clock to be placed somewhere in the changing room.I went with my wife and decided to meet up in an hour, but since I didn't have a watch, I didn't know when was the right time to get up.The bath was very nice, so I would like to use it again on a day trip.

I used it for a day trip bath (850 yen), so I don't have a room rating.The bath is great. I got permission from the landlady to take a photo.

We stayed at Hakone Gora, a hot spring guesthouse, and Kintokiso.Although there are many high-class inns in Hakone, there are very few hot spring guesthouses like Kintokiso, so it is very valuable.It is a short walk from Sounzan Station, the transfer station for the cable car and ropeway, and has good access, but be careful as there are no convenience stores nearby.In the evenings and mornings, there are quite a few foreign tourists walking on the road in front, and although it is unclear where they are going, it is strangely lively. However, since there is nothing else here, you can basically spend your time in a very quiet place.After settling into your room and enjoying the view of Hakone, it's time to take a bath. There are only indoor baths, and there are no separate baths for men and women.The hot spring water created in Owakudani is drawn and flowing directly from the hot springs. The slightly cloudy hot water feels like it's about 43 degrees Celsius. Please pour hot water over it.Ah, that's nice hot water. It was a little hot so I couldn't take a long bath, but I enjoyed going in and out.The meals are just the right amount for someone like me who is over 60 years old, and when I travel around the country, meals like this one are just right.Kintokiso is an inn where you can simply enjoy the hot springs and relax your mind and body while looking out at the scenery of Hakone. For those looking for a luxurious trip, there are many lodging options in Hakone, so we recommend choosing one of the others.

It was used by a family of three. It was a public holiday on Sunday, so it was crowded with customers.I told them in advance that it was my husband's birthday, so I was very grateful that they prepared a lavish feast for me.There is no refrigerator in the room.The scenery was also nice.

It's an old-fashioned guesthouse.It's a guesthouse that looks like a picture of a guesthouse.There is no bath or toilet in the room.There is only one hot spring, but I quickly realized that this hot spring is no ordinary hot spring. The water temperature was 45℃.The images are of dinner and breakfast on one day. I think the content is sufficient.However, please note that it is right next to Sounzan Station and there is nothing around.The wife was an unpretentious person and was very easy to interact with.
