Hotele Hot Springs w mieście Ashigarashimo District

Best service ever. The ryokan provided transport to nearby attractions and also picked us up when we are done for the day. The food was amazing too :)

Szukaliśmy onsen z łazienką na balkonie i prawdopodobnie uderzyliśmy w słodkie miejsce. Niestety, mielismy tylko 1 noc, ale to było fantastyczne. Onsen znajduje się na górnej stacji Gora, gdzie można dostać się z Odawara. To jest około 2 godziny od Tokio razem, około 3 godziny od Kyoto. Ostatnie 2 sekcje drogi przechodzą przez malownicze ścisłe kolei. Widok są świetne! Upewnij się, że pośpiesz się do przednich lub tylnych siedzeń (nieważne które) aby zabezpieczyć miejsce na ładne zdjęcia. Prywatna kąpiel jest fantastyczna, pokoje są czyste i przestronne z stylem ryokanowym (tatami itp.). To idealne miejsce do siedzenia i odpoczynku nie ma znaczenia, że jest słońce lub biedny deszcz na zewnątrz. Jedzenie było fantastyczne (według mojej żony), jednak opcje są ograniczone, jeśli nie jeść ryb lub produktów morskich z powodu alergii lub innych powodów. Dla zespołu Karaku - Chciałbym dodać podpis wagyu zestaw dla tych, którzy chcą czegoś innego. Wybór wina i napojów alkoholowych jest super. Bezpłatne przekąski i kawa są dostępne do 8.00, a także z widokiem na tarasie. Dla tych, którzy lubią jakieś regularne rzeczy konbini - Lawson jest około 10 minut spacerem z pociągami stylu Miyazaki przechodzącymi przez 👌🏻 W sumie, chcielibyśmy, żebyśmy pobyli co najmniej 2 noce, ponieważ jest wiele działań.  Dzięki personelowi Karaku za ciepłe powitanie i dostosowane doświadczenie!

I had a wonderful stay at Rakuten Stay Fujimi Terrace! The day before check-in, I received an email with the entrance code, which made the whole process very smooth. The room was exactly as described on the website—with large windows offering an incredible view of Mt. Fuji, the torii gate, and the lake. The scenery alone made it more than worth it. We had eight people staying in two 4-person rooms located on the third floor. One of the rooms was slightly larger and had extra bedding stored in the closet—enough to comfortably sleep two additional people. There were two bathrooms and two toilets in total, which was perfect for a group or family. The main bathroom included a sauna, hot spring-style bath, shower area, double sinks, a washing machine, and a water dispenser. The second bathroom had a separate shower area and a single sink. Both toilets were separated spaces from bathrooms with high-tech with bidet functions and small sinks. The large dining table and spacious sofa area easily seated all of us. We spent many relaxing moments on the balcony, soaking our feet in the warm onsen foot bath, chatting, and admiring the stunning view. The kitchen was fully equipped with a dishwasher, detergent, a large fridge stocked with complimentary drinks, a capsule coffee machine, and a Japanese rice cooker that made delicious rice. The beds were on the firmer side but still soft and very comfortable. It was just a 3-minute walk along the lake to the 7-Eleven, accessible by elevator from the building. The nearby pier was where we boarded the pirate ship cruise, and about 13 minutes further along the lake was the Peace Torii—a fantastic photo spot. Don’t forget to grasp some delicious bread at “bakery and table” before boarding to the ship. After check-out, we stored our luggage in the lockers at Motohakone Port, took the pirate ship to Togendai, transferred to the ropeway to Sounzan, and visited Gora and Kowakudani before taking the mountain bus back to Motohakone to pick up our luggages. There are 4 lockers for suitcase up to 32 inches ¥700, 12 lockers for 24 inches ¥600, and 10 lockers for smaller size of bags ¥400. From there, we had a pre-arranged shuttle take us back to Tokyo. The whole route was smooth and well-organized—perfect for a larger group traveling without a car. Overall, I highly recommend Rakuten Stay!

A beautiful hotel sited beside a nice lake. Very good view and it has a nice public onsen. Service is good, food is good and nice big soft beds. The only bad thing is that it is very far from the major town. You have to drive out for food. Once you buy your snacks and drinks in advance, then it will be all good.

The private onsen service was terrible. Please do not get the private onsen. The receptionist in the onsen does not understand english. The receptionist also did not assist us. The time was also incorrect. We were supposed to have 8-9 and 9-10 slot. But ahe is so confused. And 9:30 they are already knocking our doors calling us to come out. A totally bad experience in the private onsen. The hotel is ok. Food is also good. The private onsen which was supposed to be the highlight of our trip… became the worst. Total waste of money

Overall an ok stay. A bit hard to find, very limited English spoken by the staff which led to some confusion (even for the representatives who were assigned to us by English speakers). Felt quite formal and not that warm Room was more or less as expected, and the dinner and breakfast meals were quite elaborate. Felt that breakfast was actually the stronger meal of the two, so wasn’t necessarily worth it to pay extra for dinner. I’d likely skip doing dinner in the future. The room attendant who helped us was very kind and attentive, although we had a bit of language barrier given we don’t speak Japanese. The big disappointment was even though the ryokan is advertised as allowing guests to book one of the larger hot springs on the property for private use for 45 minutes, we weren’t able to do this. We arrived within the designated check in time and were told that it was all booked up for the day. There was no way to book in advance and we were only staying for one night, and they didn’t try to accommodate allowing us to book at all for the next day before checkout. This really hampered the experience overall - we weren’t that interested in using the gender segregated facility (was traveling with my partner who is the opposite gender) as we wouldn’t be able to spend time together, and the tub in our room was quite small. They should amend this policy to allow all guests to book a private hot spring time or not advertise it as part of the room! Feels like we got cheated out of the service and we weren’t offered anything else as an alternative. I would have booked another ryokan had I known this were the case - there are many others in Hakone which are much better value and have nicer / newer private facilities for around the same price. I wouldn’t recommend Yama no Chaya given this was a big part of what we thought would make it a good experience

This hotel is a paradise in the mountains of Hakone! Traditional style of the rooms - it feels like you are living in a Japanese family. We were prepared a traditional dinner, which was served in our room. It was very tasty and varied! The hotel has 3 onsen: 2 - private, 1 - public. We visited only the private ones (you need to book a time in advance at the reception upon check-in, the visit time is 30 minutes). It was wonderful! The hotel also provides a transfer from and to the nearest train stations. The rooms are clean, cozy, we slept on tatami under soft blankets. The hotel has a relax room. With massage chairs and a very quiet atmosphere. We stayed in this room after visiting the onsen and got great relaxation. And you are also given national clothes for rest and sleep. It is very beautiful and cute. Breakfasts were also in kaiseki style - varied and unusual. The hotel staff is very kind and friendly. this hotel allows tattoo baths. great experience, thank you very much! want to come back again!

Need to walk a bit from the train station but there is a shuttle bus from here to the train station. Customer service was great and enjoyed the bath outdoor in rainy weather.

Pokój w stylu ryokana był czysty i przytulny, ale trochę za mały dla pięcioosobowej rodziny. Kolacja i śniadanie w formie bufetu były przyzwoite, z wyborem dań japońskich i zachodnich. Personel był bardzo uprzejmy i pomocny, a personel recepcji mówił dobrze po angielsku. Dobra lokalizacja dla osób podróżujących samochodem, blisko atrakcji takich jak Owakudani i Skansen. Łaźnia publiczna (zarówno wewnętrzna, jak i zewnętrzna) była świetna. Zewnętrzny onsen dla kobiet oferował widok na górę Fudżi. Jasne instrukcje korzystania z łaźni publicznej. Mieliśmy tu naprawdę przyjemny pobyt.

Overall, the impression is positive, and we thank the staff for their care. However, the ryokan is quite old, and inside all the rooms there is a smell of age, which makes it not very pleasant to stay there. The Japanese food is very specific — it’s just my personal taste, but I couldn’t have breakfast or lunch there. Considering that this was the most expensive “hotel” during our 14-day trip around Japan, our expectations were a bit higher. In any case, we thank the staff for this unique experience.
