This hotel has a lot going for it: a gorgeous setting in the woods, and a beautiful dining room with a lovely outlook. Pretty good location too, with a shuttle bus on demand to pop into town. The staff are outstanding - I was ill during my stay and they (and especially the wonderful Ken) could not have been kinder. However, this is seriously expensive for rooms that can only be described as Spartan - even for hard-core minimalists. Every wall in our rooms was scuffed, the bathroom smelled badly, and there was nowhere to hang or store clothing. We lived out of suitcases for four nights. The only dining option is a very expensive multi-course option which you must book well in advance - one evening we had nothing to eat and room service was unavailable. The idea that a 'wellness' retreat only offers foie gras options in the evening is a bit odd. The wonderful staff deserve better management!

Beautiful location, very comfortable, excellent service and good food. The room, facilities and grounds are beautiful. It is a little remote so a car or fairly pricey taxis are needed as busses tend to be a bit slow and complicated to get anywhere. We wished we had staid longer.

I would never recommend staying here. While some staff was lovely, on average they were incredibly rude and dismissive. The room itself was a dump; they promised to drive us to a couple places nearby and when asked, laughed in our faces and told us absolutely not. And then we got stranded with no way home - no Ubers would pick us up, and the hotel REFUSED to come (6 min drive). So, the only way home due to torrential rain and dangerous walk was a stranger who offered to drive us. Not to mention the showers look like a prison cell (and smell disgusting). One of the worst stays of my life. Would never, ever, ever recommend.

The area is beautiful, but quite remote from Hakone attractions. The hotel does not have transportation well coordinated for train pickups and into town, thus you feel remote and disconnected, making the beauty of the surroundings not worth it. The dining is terrific. The rooms are showing signs of aging and need a refresh.

A beautiful luxurious retreat!

Loved our stay and only wish we could have stayed longer! Great location, welcoming and accommodating staff (they shipped the laptop we left behind to our hotel in Tokyo the following day), fantastic meals (breakfast, dinner and treats) and thoughtful amenities deserve at least a couple of nights stay. Thermal springs are well situated and super relaxing and the area around the hotel is beautiful. I would give this hotel 11 out of 10!

First the positives - we really liked the set dinner. It was wonderful. The Onsen was nice also. However there were many negatives which is surprising since we have never been disappointed with an Expedia VIP hotel until now. When we checked in, there wasn’t an offer of a welcome drink even though the check in counter was in front of the bar. This was surprising. The room itself was not impressive with paint chips and cracks all over the walls. This was shocking given the amount of $ we paid (nearly $500 for the night total). Interesting we read a review in 2023 saying the same thing ! Believe it. There is nothing in the immediate area. The day we left, we couldn’t get a taxi for hours since the area is so remote. The only solution was to have the hotel shuttle car drop us off at the bus stop in cold, rainy weather. The driver could have taken us to a nearby hotel at a different spot 10 mins away but they didn’t. Really? Lastly it states “no children” yet there were children everywhere! I would not recommend this hotel and Expedia should not be rating it as a 4 Star VIP property. We spent two weeks in Japan and this was by far our worst hotel we stayed at. So many other choices for the money.
