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.

Overnight get away

From the moment we arrived the service was excellent. The setting is beautiful and the staff are efficient and friendly. This really is a retreat and is very zen-like. The rooms are comfortable and cosy. The food was exceptional and prepared by the chefs in front on you. The onsen was amazing and opening hours to use were great. Would highly recommend

This hotel is beautiful! We ended up booking an extra night because we loved the area so much. Hakone is a beautiful town full of nature. It’s so green all around. The hotel has a great bakery coffee area where they hand make their breads. There is a bus stop down the end of the road which takes you everywhere. Not a lot of dining options in the town but the hotel has a great little restaurant.

Our least favourite stay in Japan. They do not prioritize guests for their dining, no one greeted us at check-in (we had to hike in the dark from the road up to reception). The staff were SUPER unhelpful and a bit rude. The walls in the room were peeling. Although it is on a bus route, there is not much transportation here. It was a huge disappointment and I wish we could get a refund and have stayed elsewhere.,
