The room was perfect, very very clean, very comfortable bed, and - save for the lack of a coffee maker - very well equipped. The bathroom was very good and complete. The hotel itself is beautiful and has incredible views. The buffet dinner had tons of options and was top notch. Same for the breakfast. The staff in general was very nice and helpful. And the onsen was incredible, with thermal waters and very nice facilities. Arriving at the hotel is rather easy, it's a 45 minute bus ride from Odawara Station if you get to Hakone by train. And the bus leaves you just at the door. The bus also takes you to some of the most popular attractions in the area, so it is very convenient if you want to move around. We liked it so much we decided to extend our stay for an extra night, so we'd definitely go back again.

This place was more than expected! The Onsen experience was superb and the staff was 100% accommodating, friendly, and English language friendly. The buffet dinner and breakfast option was delicious including snow crab at both meals (as of this review). The connecting public / unisex Onsen was also included which was a bonus as we could enjoy themed spas. If you are looking for your first Hakone Onsen resort, I highly recommend this spot. Rooms were huge and all inclusive experience. Smiles all around.

The staffs are well-trained and welcoming. Instructions to the hotel is also quite clear. Food is really delicious and offer a wide range of selections. The only thing is that during our stay, maybe because the room is also right next to the hallway, there were weird noises like people stepping in and out. It's an overall nice experience disregarding the noise part.
