Hakone Reinanso

The seat is a short walk from the station, and it's a bit tiring to drag the suitcase but it's acceptable. Most of the guests staying here are Japanese, and there are few foreigners. The dinner and breakfast provided by the hotel are both rich and delicious, which is a reason to come again.

The price is very cheap, which is rare in Hakone these days, and if you are a member of the Tokyo Pension Association, you can get an additional 10% discount. I was worried about what kind of accommodation it would be, but the room I was shown, Room 307, was in a great location overlooking the Tanigawa River, with an 8 tatami mat room + 2 tatami mat room with two chairs and a desk. I stayed here for two nights. The room was renovated, clean, and comfortable. The room had a washlet toilet, a refrigerator, and a kettle. There was no bath or shower. The bath in the basement has a large bath and a small bath, which are alternated between men and women. This was also renovated, clean, and comfortable. When I visited, early-blooming cherry blossoms were blooming next to the large open-air bath, and I enjoyed floating petals in the bath. The food was a little small, which was just right for seniors. I wish breakfast could be served a little earlier than 7:45.

Although it is a Hakone sailors insurance resort, reservations are made through Jalan. Anyone can make a reservation. At 13:00 check-in, quite a lot of customers were in the lobby. The pamphlet of the inn also stated that check-in was at 13:00. The room is simple, but it is a clean Western-style room, and you can see the red Hakone Railway at the switchback point of the Hakone Railway outside. The chairs and tables in the room were very low and difficult to use. The baths are alternated between men and women, and at first, the women's open-air bath was large, and I could hear birds chirping and relax. The hot spring water is clear and colorless, but it is good for moisturizing the skin. There is no lotion in the washroom, but there are three dryers. The bath that was replaced the next morning was also good with lukewarm water, because the open-air bath can accommodate about four people, and it was in the morning. I had plenty of time to check in at 13:00, so I took a nap in bed after taking a bath. We had dinner at the restaurant. It starts at 18:00, and I was asked to finish by 19:30. This time, I had an upgraded dinner, so it was a beautiful kaiseki meal and the amount was just right. There were two types of meat: pork shabu-shabu and chicken. Breakfast was a Japanese set meal, but juice, milk and coffee were a buffet. I told him that the accommodation fee is reasonable, the bath and meals are good, and the check-in is at 13:00, so it is a good accommodation for the second night after going to Izu. I would use it again.
