Its a lil bit out-dated and pricey, but everything else was over the top. First, we'r so glad that we picked Hakone Yumoto for the location, instead of Gora or Lake Ashi, for all the luggages that we had to drag around. There's a mini bus shuttle, cost 100JPY, with limited space for the luggage, or you can always take... More

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel, thanks to the helpful staff. We booked in for three days, so on arrival we were upgraded to a larger room. The meals were stunning. We were allocated a waiter with very good English. One of our best Japanese stays. More

I had a standard Western-style room, which was very mediocre with a weak bed, blah decor, and slightly soiled carpets. The... More

I was more than a little confused when it came to booking a hotel in Hakone. The area is large and I wasn't sure which part we should be in. I then decided, as we were only staying a few days, close to the station would be where we would want to be. I started going through Google Earth and... More

I decided to go to Hakone to get away from the stress of work and arranged the hotel booking at a very last minute. Got a room for one person including breakfast at JPY10,000 through Rakuten Travel (if you can manage to read some Japanese, the Japanese website offers better rate than the English site), which is in fact excellent...

I live in Tokyo , about 90 mins from Hakone I have spent the last two days at Shougetsu and find it superb. The staff , even though most of them dont speak English are kind, polite and friendly. I will recommend this hotel to everyone either from abroad or living in Japan. If you understand Japanese web sites like... More

Website is at: [-] We spent three relaxing days at this hotel located in a small but very pretty village of Hakone Yumoto. The hotel is only a short walk from the railway station. English is not widely spoken, however the staff went out of their way to make us feel comfortable (they even hand-wrote the restaurant menu for us... More
