Let's get the price out of the way. It's not overpriced for the amenities that are included! Both breakfast and dinner are included in the price for two. Ten courses breakfast and twelve courses Kaiseki dinner in a private dining room could easily cost at least $200 USD for two people; a private dining room in Japan costs 4000 yens at some restaurants. While the food is not michelin starred like Jiro, Tempura Kondo, Yamadaya, if Ushirgoro, the food is still good. A dinner for two at any of the named restaurants above would cost as much as a one night here. Looking back, we should have stayed here longer here in Hakone and skipped a couple of these Michelin rated restaurants. You get your own private onsen with a beautiful mountain view along with a fridge that is stocked and replenished daily with *free* drinks. What more can you ask for?? Free shuttles! There is a complimentary shuttle service from the train station and bus stops! Service is amazing from beginning to end! The room is spotless and the public onsen has a beautiful view. Be careful, male and female public onsen changes throughout the day. I almost walked into the female one because it was designated for male instead earlier that morning. Now let's talk about room size. This is a HUGE room in terms of Japanese standards. We paid $300 USD a night for a room HALF this size the last time we here in Hakone! Besides the roominess, we also loved the location! Because of its more secluded locatjon, you can enjoy
