I've been to Hakone three times and it's so comfortable!

I went to Suimeisou in January. It takes about an hour to get there from Shinjuku Station in Tokyo on the Romancecar. It's a 4-minute walk from the station to Suimeisou. • There's a 24-hour 7-11 nearby. If you need anything, you can go there at any time. We stayed in a room with a private hot spring. You can soak in the hot spring whenever you want. • When you arrive at the hotel, the old man at the front desk will ask you if you want to eat, and then someone will start preparing kaiseki cuisine in your room. I read a review that said the rooms without a private hot spring are not as good. But if you're only staying for one night and you want to book their private hot spring, it doesn't matter if your room has one or not. But the bed is really comfortable. • I recommend going during the day. It's beautiful and comfortable. After soaking in the hot spring, you can have a meal and then go to bed. • If you're staying for more than two days, I recommend not including breakfast and dinner. Include breakfast and dinner on the first day, and go out to eat on the second night. The restaurants outside are actually really good. I recommend Kizinosuke. It's a 2-minute walk from the hotel. PS: If you have time, you can go to Owakudani to see Mount Fuji and try the black eggs. They're really good! This hotel has been run by an old couple for a lifetime. It was renovated in the middle, so it's quite new. The old couple are very warm and hospitable. I like to experience the local lifestyle and food in Hakone. • I highly recommend this hotel. I would stay here again.
