Hotels Near Kawamukai in Hakone

Small, exquisite and beautiful, everything is just right. The hotel is in a very quiet place, and it takes 4 or 5 minutes to get there by sightseeing bus if the navigation is correct. The next day, it rained heavily on the mountain, and then turned to snow. I had no choice but to take the two umbrellas provided by the hotel for customers to use, and finished the wonderful Hakone trip with the umbrellas. I am very grateful for the service and help provided by the hotel.

Had a delightful stay at the ryokan. The rooms are quite impeccable with the smell of the hinoki filling the room, it was quite heavenly. We chose the room with the outdoor bath. And given the cool weather, our bathing experience was amazing. The location was also perfect if you are making a trip to the Sengokuhara Susuki Pampas Grass fields, which is such a scenic spot and of which we enjoyed walked to and through in the setting sun. We also opted to have dinner at the ryokan, who specially made it Halal-friendly for us. What's most amazing to us regarding the ryokan was the service. We had a Nepalese staff speaking with us most of the time, as he was the best in English. He personally brought us to our room and even gave an introduction to the room, and what we needed to take note off. After we checked out, he enquired how we were making our way to the train station. There was conveniently located bus stop just outside the ryokan, so we were going to take that. On our way out, he drove out and stopped along the road beside us (good thing there was no traffic) and to our utter surprise offered to drive us to the train station. We found out that he was actually knocking off, but instead of going straight home to rest (before his next shift in the evening), he wanted to drive us to the station. We were exceptionally touched at his extremely kind gesture (as we didn't think it was hotel protocol to do so). Nonetheless, his actions left us a beautiful and lasting impression on the ryokan. Would definitely go again for the luxurious experience!

The hotel is a bit hard to find. There are convenient stores nearby, just take a few minutes walk. The room is clean. No lift, it’s a bit tough if you need to take a heavy luggage to second floor. Lol Overall, it’s a great hotel. The food in the restaurant is great. Good Japanese experience for us.

It will be unforgettable for you! Although it is located on a high mountain, it is far away from the business district! But the environment is very quiet and beautiful! Free parking! If you are going to Gotemba, Yamanakako sightseeing is also on the way. There is a convenience store opposite and there are also pharmacies and restaurants nearby. The bathhouse is also very clean. There are not many breakfast options, but it is normal. I will go again next time.

This hotel is generally a bad choice, so choose carefully. All the rooms are single-family villas, and they are surrounded by tall pine and cypress trees halfway up the mountain. It is indeed very quiet. The room is in Nordic log style, and the space is quite large. But as a high-end resort hotel, it fails for the following reasons: 1. The biggest complaint is that its food is very, very bad. It's not that I haven't eaten good Kaiseki cuisine. I have been to Japan many times and have experienced delicious Kaiseki cuisine in Kobe's hot spring hotel, and it is very filling. Let's put it this way, the food in this hotel is the worst Japanese cuisine I have eaten in all these years, no one else. There are almost no Japanese employees in the hotel. The people who received us, the waiters in the restaurant, and the people who cook in the kitchen are all Southeast Asians and Indians. Note that the chefs are also. I don't mean to say that Indians are bad, but the chances of them making authentic Japanese food and Japanese service are almost zero. I noticed that all the guests are foreigners, there are no local Japanese people, and I guess this hotel has been abandoned by local Japanese people. 2. The room is not clean. There are many mold spots on the wall. It is terrible for people who love cleanliness😟 3. At 4:00 a.m. on the night we stayed, the whole hotel suddenly lost power, and then the emergency power was activated. The big emergency lighting and doorbell rang repeatedly and shone over my head. It was really annoying to be woken up in the middle of the night. Then no one showed up or apologized or dealt with it afterwards. It's really speechless to encounter such a thing. 4. At 6:00 a.m., there was a radio broadcast, and then there was some prompt in Japanese... My God, I felt like I came here for military training. Then at about 7 or 8 o'clock, the sound of mowing the grass outside was very loud, and I couldn't rest well at all. So in general, the experience of this hotel is very bad. There are other better options at this price. I will never consider it again. I have a shadow on it.

Beautiful resort in the middle of a remote forest area, perfect for relaxation and connecting with nature. The rooms are cosy and clean. The breakfast was absolutely amazing, with chefs preparing freshly made dishes right in front of you! We did find a bug in the room but the hotel is in the middle of the nature so we didn't mind really. The onsen was ok but it was not mixed. Note that if you are not arriving by car and you have luggage, the hotel is uphill so better contact the staff in advance so they can arrange a pick up for you.

Im very sad. I lost my chanel earing in the hotel. I had a picture upon checkout that i did not wear my earing upon checkout and i remembered i forgotten to wear my earing before checkout which i placed at tv cabinet. I had called the hotel immediately when i realised it through a local japanese (as the hotel cannot speak well fluent in english) and i hope they could revert me whether they are able to locate my earing. After many days, there is no calls from them or even an email. I’m very sad. Checkin in time 3pm check out time 10pm. 9.30am next day morning public bath is already not allowed even before checkout time as the management walked in and stopped my husband to bath. Dinner beef shabu2 is good and breakfast is reasonable quality. Public bath only. Self drive is only convenient for this hotel. I wish the management could contact is if they found my earing at room 204 tv cabinet. Tq.

1. Let me talk about the transportation to the hotel first. I didn't do much strategy before, so I didn't know how to get there. Thanks to the Ctrip girl for patiently answering many of my questions. To sum up, there are a few points: 1) Take the hotel shuttle bus: There is one bus every day, at 14:00, and it will pick you up from Odawara subway station. You can see the bus parking lot when you get out of the station, about ten meters away. The straight-line distance is actually not far, but it takes about an hour to drive around the mountain. I think this is the most convenient way to go. You can directly ask Ctrip to help you book a shuttle bus. 2) You can take the bus. But because I don't know where to check the timetable, I gave up the bus. Everyone says that the bus station is 700 meters from the hotel, but it doesn't feel that close. It takes about 10-15 minutes to walk. You have to walk uphill and pass through some residential villas. 2. The hotel room is very large, and there is a small loft downstairs. The decoration can see the old money style. There will be a strong mountain breeze at night, but the hotel windows are very soundproof. It's just that our chandelier lit a faint light in the middle of the night, which was a bit irritating. It was fine the next day. 3. The hot springs are open-air and indoor. They are quite standard. It feels that there are more people in the morning than in the evening. 4. The breakfast restaurant and dinner restaurant are the same. It is right after entering the hotel lobby. The view is very good. The breakfast variety is quite rich. Adults are RMB 200. Children are half price. Compared with the breakfast variety, this price is a bit expensive. Because there is no on-site service for breakfast. 5. There is a bus to Odawara Station at 11 o'clock. We went directly to the outlet with our luggage. Because the road to the bus station is not smooth, we asked the hotel's minivan to take us to the bus station. It took about five minutes. 6. It takes 10 minutes to walk from the hotel to the bus station. You can take a bus to Taoyuandai Station, and then you can buy a cable car ticket to Owakudani there. You can also buy a pirate ship ticket for Lake Ashi. They are all at that station, which is a hub station. You can also take a bus directly to the outlet. It takes about half an hour, and then it is very convenient to change to the outlet shuttle bus. I put the bus schedule below for your reference. There is a Lawson supermarket at the hotel station. There is also a park for watching Miscanthus, which is worth a visit. All in all, I highly recommend this hotel. Very convenient and quiet.

A small and exquisite Japanese-style hotel. The location of the hotel is very good. It is very close to the pirate ship and the starting point of the ropeway, Togendai. You can clearly see Mt. Fuji at the entrance of the hotel. The hotel lobby is also very elegant, and the surrounding murals are all in Chinese style. The tatami mats in the Japanese-style room are large enough to accommodate three people. The hotel's reception staff are very friendly and can provide every convenience. In addition, this hotel is also very close to the Senjihara Meadow, one of the 50 scenic spots in Hakone, and the autumn scenery is spectacular.

We loved it here! I booked a room (Japanese style room for 5 people) for the two of us since this matched my budget best that had onsen access (200$ for the night including dinner and breakfast for two people). The traditional room was right above the garden and the futons were SO comfy, definitely an experience I will never forget! The breakfast and dinner buffet were both great! The have yakatas for borrow on the floors and in the rooms with sandals which was super fun, we wore them to dinner. We only spent one night but they easily held our luggage all of the checkout day. We could see Mt Fuji from the lovely garden (the tip top as most is usually covered by clouds in spring). My only complaint is there is only one single washer dryer in the whole place and my clothes got soaked from the rain so I waited in line but then I realized that this would never feasibly happen so just dried the clothes on hangers and left the door open overnight so all was well… love this place so much!
