This hotel is in a charming location close to Hakone station, which is convenient for getting around. The rooms are clean and well-furnished, offering both tatami and western-style sleeping options. The staff is genuinely friendly and helpful, adding to the overall experience. However, be prepared for a bit of a journey to Lake Ashi, as it takes around an hour by bus, and the dining hours could be a little earlier than expected.
