Hotels in Kowakidani/Miyanoshita, Hakone

It is a very suitable hotel for anyone to stay together. This time I chose two days and one night including breakfast and dinner. Hotel staff are very friendly The restaurant is a buffet style with many styles and is well worth a try There are public hot spring facilities and saunas. If you need a private hot spring, you can make a reservation in advance for extra money. The cost is not too expensive (remember to buy a bottle of milk after soaking in the hot spring) There is also a hot spring park nearby for fun, but I was too busy to visit it this time. There are many places to check in, and friends who like to check in and take photos are highly recommended to stay in this hotel.

The host was really helpful alongside his assistant Rum the Dog - so friendly. Loved the Onsen, really appreciate the service rendered me during my stay. The host showed great knowledge of attractions and discounts - a definite must stay and will return very soon.

This hotel is a historic property set in an iconic setting. We stayed in the Forest Section which features large, comfortable rooms that were a little dark, the bathroom lighting could be improved. Here is my issue. We arrived around 1:15 and we’re told that we could check in at 3:00. We had lunch in their cafe ( 50$) and asked again about an hour later if we could have early access. The very polite desk clerk replied “ Yes, for $70 dollars “. Astounded , I countered that we were departing early 2 days later, and he reduced the amount to $35. Now here is where communication becomes an issue: I continued the “are you kidding me?” and he kept bowing. I thought the issue was settled. That night and the next we ate at their lovely restaurants, French and the Cascade. Food and service was superb. With wine we spent about $900. Check out was early, and my husband didn’t really examine the bill. When we were back in our free early access room in Tokyo I noticed the $35 charge. I contacted the hotel’s customer service and they confirmed the charge. So, what about customer hospitality? I have NEVER been charged an early access fee for an hour. They have been times when we patiently waited for a room to be readied, and never demanded a rebate. It is all part of the guest/host agreement, I think this is probably a corporate decision by the Fujiya Group. Rethink your mission, guys, make guests feel wanted!

We booked a triple room and could actually accommodate 5 people, because there are two single beds and three sets of tatami in the cupboard. The room is oversized and stays in Tokyo. It is a paradise and it is not willing to leave the hotel. It is. There are ten rooms in the whole hotel, so there are hot springs, although it is public, but I have spent five times in two days for my own enjoyment, great, and each room can also reserve an hour of private soup every day. , indoor, far from the public comfort. The only bad thing is that the breakfast is relatively simple, there is no catering, and it can only be settled at a nearby convenience store. But Hakone air is really good! Highly recommended this hotel, cost-effective!

・I stayed for 2 nights and 3 days without meals (about 9300 yen per person). *However, two hours before I decided to make a reservation, the price was about 7,500 yen for three days and two nights, so it might be a good deal if you make a reservation early. I lost my mind💦 ・From Hakone-Yumoto Station, take the Hakone-machi Line bus for 11 stops, and get off at the Kamisokokura stop, and you can arrive in a 2-minute walk. I took the Hakone Tozan Railway to Kowakidani Station and walked about 15 minutes from there. Since the road is the main road, there were almost no sidewalks, so I think it would be best to go by bus. [Room] ・This time, I stayed in a dormitory's Kagodoko (cabin type). First of all, the room is very clean. The lighting is bright and I feel good. There are 2 power outlets and 1 USB dedicated power supply, and charging is also possible. There is also a 4-digit lockable valuables compartment inside the room. I am very grateful for this. You can feel secure just by putting your wallet here. Furthermore, to enter the dormitory space, you have to unlock the auto lock with the room key, so I think security is perfect. [Onsen] ・It was great. There are both open-air baths and indoor baths. The only disappointing thing is that there is a distance between the indoor bath and the open-air bath, so you have to wear clothes before moving. I thought, ”Then, I should just use the open-air bath,” but there is no washing area in the open-air bath. This was the only disappointment, but everything else was perfect. The open-air bath is a little hot and comfortable, and the indoor bath is lukewarm so you can use it forever. Both are kept clean and pretty clean. Depending on the time of day, you can have it all to yourself, so it was pretty good.・In addition, the dryer was a type with a strong air flow, so it is safe. In general, the hair dryers at hotels and inns have a weak airflow and don't dry your hair in the middle of the day. It is a gem that dries quickly. [Meals] ・Since this is a guest house, no meals are provided. However, the wonderful kitchen is open for free. Free coffee and tea. Free microwave and refrigerator. Tableware is also free. I thought it was the best facility for staying for a while on a trip and doing nomad work. There are about 10 restaurants nearby and a convenience store, so I don't think you'll have any trouble finding food. [Inside the building/lobby] ・Everywhere is clean and comfortable. Due to the location, it was a little difficult to walk up and down the stairs, but it would be nice to be able to climb up and down the stairs more than usual and get some exercise. 1F is the reception, B1 is the room, B2 is the kitchen and lounge, and B3 is the hot spring.・The toilet is shared, but it is well-cleaned and is also very clean. [Customer Service] ・Very friendly and pleasant. However, it is also nice to keep a sense of distance by not communicating more than necessary unless you go from here. [Others] ・The lounge was too nice. The tatami room has a counter and two kotatsu tables, and the floor lounge has a counter and about five table seats. From the counter, you can see the nature of Hakone in front of you. Every seat has a power supply, so it's perfect for nomad work. What's more, it has Free Wi-Fi, so it's nice to be able to work without worrying about the network or power supply. Of course, it is also possible to bring in what you have made in the kitchen and work while eating. I thought it was the perfect workspace. [Overall] ・Since it is a dormitory-style room, it is cheap. All facilities are clean and comfortable. The customer service is also friendly and the more you go, the more you will probably feel like at home. Power supply and network facilities are also perfect. In such a place, while starting up the PC and crackling, if I get tired, I will soak in the open-air bath, and if I get hungry, I will go to the neighborhood for a meal. I was surprised that such a perfect and wonderful space existed in Hakone. In my case, round-trip transportation from Tokyo and accommodation for two nights and three days totaled 14,000 yen. If anything, I would like to book all weekdays, stay overnight and completely work here. It was such a lovely place. It seems that there are regular rooms other than dormitories, so next time I would like to visit for a relaxing stay with my family. Thank you very much. #Ryokan #Dormitory #Guesthouse #Renovation #Hakone Tsutaya Ryokan #Cheap #Equipped #Free Wi-Fi #Free power supply #Nomad #Hakone #Sightseeing spot #Accommodation #Ryokan #Dormitory #Guesthouse #Renovation #HakoneTsutayaRyokan #Reasonable #FullyEquipped #FreeWi- Fi #FreeAC #Nomad #Hakone #SightseeingSpot #Accommodation

Stayed for one night and enjoyed the onse. The onse was man and woman separate. Further there is the possibility for a private onse. Make sure to ask for a private onse with a good view out.

Hotel Indigo was recommended to us by a co-worker. She raved about how much she enjoy her stay, so we decided to visit for our Anniversary. We loved everything about this hotel from check in to check out, everything was amazing. The hotel staff always made us feel welcome, by greeting us (by name most of the time) whenever we were out and about in the hotel. Hannah checked us in. She was nice and provided us with information about the area. We had the breakfast included in our stay. The restaurant manager Koji-san was awesome. While not a picky eater, I do like my eggs cooked a certain way...lol.. On the first day of breakfast, my eggs were not cooked to my liking. When my plate was taken, Koji-san noticed that I did not eat my eggs. He immediately came to our table and inquired about the eggs. I told him that they were too soft for me. He apologized and asked if I had enough to eat and said that he would like to try again the next morning. I thought this was such a kind gesture. For the next 4 days, my eggs were cooked exactly how I like them. We had dinner at the hotel restaurant. It is a bit pricey, but the chef is very good. The salmon and asparagus were my favorites. Our anniversary was on the 22nd and we received a call from the front desk asking if they could bring us a gift for our anniversary. They brought us an assortment of sweet treats, which we enjoyed with a cup of tea. Very sweet. Our room was spacious, clean with the perfect temperature. The television was the largest that I have seen a Japanese hotel. Our room was on the riverside with a private outdoor onsen. While relaxing in the onsen, you can hear the calming sounds of the river. There is also a foot soak in the garden area. it was a bit to cold outside for me, so I didn't get to enjoy it on this stay. The hotel was cleaned thoroughly and safety precautions were taken. All of staff wore masks and for breakfast, we were provided with gloves to get continental items from the buffet. All tables were wiped down immediately after a party left and were socially distanced. The hotel is in close proximity to just about everything. During our 5 day stay, we visited The Open Air Museum, the Venetian Glass Garden, Gora Park, and The Red Gate of Peace. We will definitely be returning and look forward to our next stay in the Spring.
