Best Business Hotels in Hakone

I've wanted to go to Tenseien for a long time, and finally I was able to go! I thought it would be just another hot spring inn, but the staff were polite, the atmosphere was calm and comfortable, it was clean and I was able to relax very well. The facility and the waterfalls within the inn are in a historic location, and the hot spring water quality, volume and water source are plentiful, and there is plenty of nature, so I felt it was a really good inn. I'd definitely like to stay again with my family!

The location is not so far from Hakone-Yamamoto station, but if you bring huge luggage it may not convenient. We only brought our backpacks to Hakone. The room is huge, the design is Japanese traditional house/room. We booked a room with bed because we’re not very used to sleeping on floor. We didn’t get a room with river view but that’s alright. The bathroom is okay, they have a very complete bath-amenities and skincare ranges which is nice. We tried the private onsen, we paid about 3300 yen. But it’s worth the experience. The breakfast buffet is pretty nice with many various of foods. Overally it’s a pretty good accomodation in Hakone area.

Little far from train station, but hotel offer free shuttle bus if you request or certain time. From hotel, they offer shuttle bus to go to hakone Yumoto train station. I had problem to book to add children to stay at website. But hotel staffs helped me to fix this issue. We enjoyed staying this hotel.

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.

Very good experience! Stayed for two nights in a twin room with breakfast and dinner included. The room is very large (compared to downtown Tokyo), with a double sofa and a dressing table, and both suitcases can be opened and laid flat. The bathroom is a little small, but because it is a hot spring hotel, the shower is solved in the shower room of the hot spring, and the bathroom in the room is only for washing and going to the toilet, so it doesn't matter if it is a little small. Two large windows, open to hear the birds singing on the mountain. There is an air purifier. The hotel is small and beautiful, the dinner is very rich, and the meal is very full and satisfying. The breakfast is a bit average for Chinese stomachs, mainly hot food and less rice and noodles. And the hot springs here are very good. My family members always have peeling and dry calves for many years. After soaking for only one hour, they have obvious relief, which is an effect not seen in Beijing hot springs. Tips: The slippers are leather slippers, no disposable slippers.

I went by car. I arrived much earlier than the scheduled check-in time, but they were happy to accommodate me, and after checking in, I was able to use the free shuttle bus from the hotel to Motohakone Port, so I was able to explore without the stress of parking. The view of Lake Ashi from the room was also very nice. I had dinner outside, and for breakfast I could choose between Japanese and Western food, and ate it in each restaurant. The Japanese breakfast I chose was very delicious. I also enjoyed the guest room. I would like to come again.

Pros: The room is very large, the view from the window is beautiful, and the tea and yokan provided are delicious. The hot spring has an outdoor pool, which is very comfortable!! There was almost no one when I went there, and the whole place was reserved. When leaving, there is a shuttle bus directly to Hakone Yumoto Station, which is very convenient. You can take your luggage there and store it at the station by yourself. Cons: The sound insulation of Japanese-style rooms is always not very good, the outdoor area of ​​the hot spring is relatively small, and I didn’t go to the rooftop to pay to try the loan hot spring. Maybe that is better? The biggest problem is that the hotel is located on an uphill slope. It is breathless to walk up with luggage. It is recommended to take the bus instead of the entrance of the hot spring field, and take a closer station (forgot the name). Of course, if you want to eat Hatsuhana Soba, you can write your name when you pass by and queue up. After checking in, you can almost be in your turn when you come down~ The attitude of the service staff is very good. Generally satisfied.

interesting balinese onsen ryokan. service was great, i couldn’t take raw food and my husband is allergic to prawns and they took notice for it and didn’t serve them during our half board meals (breakfast and dinner). the onsen water is certified to be natural and we could read the details of the certification from both the hotel reception and room toilet. the private in room open air onsen’s temperature can be adjusted as well. however the room’s shower’s door was not completely sealed and we found it very chilly to bathe even tho there was hot water supplied as the constant cold air from outside would come in. hope the hotel can take note of this and seal up the showering area’s door completely to prevent air from exchanging during shower. it’s a jap-balinese fusion hotel, pretty interesting concept. we drove during our trip around hakone area and be ready to navigate through very small and narrow roads while driving to this ryokan haha. really very narrow roads. hotel also requested for us to pass them the car key when we returned to the hotel, and to pass them the hotel key when we are heading out, which we found to be a little weird to be honest.

around 15 mins walk from the train station but there are so many shops while on the way to the hotel. The hotel offer free snacks, drinks and free ramen. Visitors can grab as many as possible and are all free. The hotel room is clean and spacious and I like the hot tube bar within the room. The private hot spring and the public hot spring are all great. The portion for the dinner and breakfast are big. Especially I like the sukiyaki dinner.

We got to the hotel in the beautiful location just before 3pm and we got given a little tour of the place and then got shown to our room. The staff are very friendly and do their best to speak English. A lovely lady was in charge of our hospitality throughout our stay and she first showed us that there is a public hot spring and a private hot spring and asked us if we would like to book a time to use the private hot spring, we booked a time as we checked in but then we didn’t use it as we were happy with our private hot spring in the room. We also booked a time for dinner and they arrived at that time Promptly with A LOT of food. We also got a choice for a staple food and we chose some steak which was high quality and delicious, as well as the lobster (on the menu it said grilled prawn but a lobster is what came and it was delicious). We ordered a few beers and a bottle of wine with room service and it always came quickly and was nice and cold. The private hot spring is absolutely boiling but it’s a good experience and there’s ice water provided which helps. Breakfast came at 8.30am and it was also huge! It didn’t come with coffee but I ordered some and that was easy enough. The lady who served our food explained every dish and how to eat it and she was always extremely friendly and attentive. Would recommend!
