The entire experience was grandiose, from the room and amenities to the private outdoor tub and public natural spring baths. It almost felt like a 'Disney-fied' version of a traditional onsen. While located in a rural countryside area, the high number of foreign staff gave it a unique, international vibe that felt a bit different from 'traditional' Japan. The food offered a wide selection, though the buffet quality was a bit inconsistent—some dishes were hits, while others missed the mark. Still, there were plenty of options to choose from!

Room was clean. Authentic vibe. We had a lovely dinner. The hotel breakfast was (probably) very authentic, but hard to tell for a European tourist like myself. The breakfast food options felt more like dinner options to me (not bad, just not what this European tourist was expecting or fancied in the morning). Overall a solid stay.

A beautiful hotel and building interior. My wife & daughter both used the women's onsen multiple times and were very impressed. We had both the breakfast and dinner buffets, and I would say they were par for the course for hotel meals in Asia - very good, but comparable to others we've had. Staff were exceedingly polite and friendly. Again, I would expect this in Japan, and I was not disappointed. We used the shuttle to nearby Gora station twice, and that was very convenient. The room was very clean and I took advantage of the tub in the balcony. The room is small, and it was a little hard to get around for 3 people. Unfortunately, there was no place to store our 3 suitcases out of the way, and they were on the floor and we had to step over them. But all in all, it was a wonderful stay, and I would stay there again.

Staff is very friendly, professional and attentive to details. Nice hotel and onsen, a bit surprised that dinner (non buffet style) is served at a different location and need a courtesy ride to go in a group, quite unexpected, would prefer if it could be held at the hotel instead.

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.
