"After spending 18 days in various hostels around Japan, and hundreds of days around the world, this one had been my absolute favorite. The best sleep I have gotten on my trip and the breakfast was an amazing treat. Walking distance to most sights."

"The rooms were clean and spacious. The breakfast buffet was delicious! We didn’t try out the onsen as we were not comfortable with getting naked with our adult children.
The location was fantastic, super close to Gora station. "

"Kaneyamaen onsen Hotel is an excellent onsen hotel with all amenities provided in the room and waking up with the view of Mount Fuji from the bedroom is unforgettable! The breakfast and dinner options are delicious and they make every effort to accommodate dietary requirement as best they can if told in advance.
The drum show and evening bingo is great for a fun evening if you want a break from having a soak in the onsen or sauna facilities in the hotel. The gardens are well maintained and despite the size of the hotel you can find a quiet spot to relax in the manicured Japanese gardens.
I would be happy to stay at the Kaneyamaen hotel if we have the opportunity to visit Japan again."
"We had a fantastic stay at HOTEL MYSTAYS Fuji Onsen Resort. The front desk staff were incredibly helpful, spoke excellent English, answered all of our questions, and provided detailed directions, recommendations, and helpful tips that really enhanced our Mt. Fuji experience.
Waking up to stunning Mt. Fuji views from our room was absolutely amazing and one of the highlights of our trip. This was also one of the few hotels we found that could accommodate 4 people in one room with a guaranteed Mt. Fuji view, which was a huge plus for us.
The location is excellent, the staff were wonderful, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations. We would highly recommend HOTEL MYSTAYS Fuji Onsen Resort to anyone visiting the Mt. Fuji area."
"The food selection was amazing and when our A/C didn’t work in one of our rooms, they quickly relocated us to another set of rooms, with a beautiful view and massage chairs! The kids loved it!"
"Not what we were expecting (it was really big which is not the type of place we normally stay) but if you are just having a couple of nights it is fine. Good shuttle bus service to the station which you can use to get to ''town'' and then wander back through bars/restaurants for the evening. Close to lake front and bridge to get great early morning views of the mountain. Convenience stores close by. Breakfast is very cafeteria style but more than adequate to set you up for the day out. Rooms are small so this is for people who will be out and about. Would be good for groups as you can have shared meals in the breakfast area at other times of the day."
"The property is pretty remote. Make sure you time your Shinkansen with the hotel shuttles of your can find yourself waiting a long time. We took a taxi to the hotel which was 7200Y. Loved the public onsen and the private onsen. Breakfast and Dinner were not great for the price you are paying so we opted to eat off property instead"
"Our stay at Hakone Kowakien was wonderful. Just to clarify we stay in the Hakone Kowakien Hotel. (Not the Ten-yu) I notice there were mix up of reviews when I was researching the hotel before our trip.
The area around the hotel are breathtaking and the grounds beautiful.
They are doing some work outside of the dining area while we were there so the windows are covered up and you don’t get a view while you are eating. We opted for breakfast and dinner during our stay. They had a good variety of food to choose from. I find I had a hard time trying everything because I get full long before that. It is a buffet so it does feel a bit chaotic and cafeteria like. But it worked well for us as a family. My son can eat whatever he likes.
Our room was on the 5th floor overlooking the mountains and trees. It was a nice change of scenery after spending 5 nights in the middle of Tokyo. The rooms are minimal but clean and in great condition.
We enjoyed the Onsen on the roof. I find it was a great way to wake up in the morning and wished I had stay longer to enjoy it. We also booked a private bath. For ¥2500 I highly recommend it if you are shy.
We also made use of the pass to Yunessun. We only went to the part where you wear a bathing suit. Over all we enjoyed it. The change room and showers were clean. The pools are a little hit and miss. It has definitely passed its prime. It is worth a go if the hotel gives you free passes to go there but I would not pay much to go in otherwise."
"This hotel was amazing. 5 out of 5 stars, only a 2 minute convenient walk from the bus station, and the amenities were incredible. We stayed in a room that had a private onsen, which was very romantic for my husband and I’s stay. Along with the open air hot springs, the amenities here were amazing. The hotel included complimentary breakfast and dinner buffets which were delicious! Will definitely be back when in Japan again!"
"I felt completely at ease from the moment I arrived, as I was treated with the utmost courtesy. The restaurants and bars were elegant yet welcoming, and with many international staff members working at reception, the bell desk and in the restaurants, language barriers are unlikely to be an issue. It seemed that over half the guests were from overseas, and I imagine they thoroughly enjoyed their stay as well.
I had stayed here before the major refurbishment, and at the time my impression was simply that it was rather old (though I assumed that was to be expected of a classic hotel). This time, however, the historic building has been beautifully preserved, with meticulous maintenance ensuring it is spotlessly clean. Furthermore, the antique furniture appears to have had its cushions and upholstery reupholstered, making it both visually appealing and comfortable. The hot spring facilities were spacious and comfortable, complete with a sauna and a cold plunge bathtub; I was surprised to find that the hot spring water was even piped directly into the bathroom in my room.
I would certainly like to stay here again."
