A la lecture des commentaires, j'appréhendais ma nuit ici. Ce fut la plus belle étape de mon séjour.
Il est vrai que l hotel esg un peu vieillot mais très dépaysant et confortable, le personnel est agréable, il y a disposition des kimonos, the, eau chaude... les onsens privés au top, celui extérieur un peu trop chaud. Les chambre ne sont pas insonorisée mais tout le monde etait calme et j ai très bien dormi sur les futons. Proche de la gare et de l arrêt de bus, kombini et distributeur de boisson a côté.
Its a very quiet, beautiful spot close to stations to travel to hakone and the baths were lovely! Its nice to walk around the area. The man running the hotel spoke english pretty well, my non japanese speaking friend had no issues at all. The bedding is futons and it was more comfortable then the hotel we previously stayed at and was perfect for our single night stay
Location was excellent, close to the bus stop and the train. Very trustworthy area where the access is accessible 24/7 and staff can be around. Staff were helpful with requests and kept our luggage till we returned to check on at 3pm. Fixed check in time makes exploring the cable cars and pirate boats tight for time when arriving at 11-12pm.
The 4 onsen are all private use. 2 indoors and 2 outdoors. Outdoors are less than 100m away.
Water is at a constant 45C and needs cold to bring to your tolerance.
From an onsen experience, this was perfect. The room for 5 is a little tight. We needed to change from sitting room to sleeping room by laying out the fêtons.
There is no on suite toilet or bathroom (shared) . The is no shower except in the onsen.
Loved it even if slightly inconvenient. Almost like going camping.
The location was a bit off the main city and main shops. Either have to take a taxi, train or bus to go around from here. The customer service was not very welcoming or friendly. Also the room was not clean at all. The sink in the room had so many stains and spots on it, plus the sleeping mats provided in the room had many stains on them and they were not cleaned. For a japanese ryokan during covid time where people are taking very high measures this is absolutely unacceptable. We only stayed for a night and was not happy. The only good thing was the outdoor private hot springs which were off the property and had to walk a bit to get to them, but it was nice to have the whole hot spring to your self and plus it was 24 hours.
