Bus stop directly outside main entrance made commute to other locations easier especially when combined with Hakone free pass. The hotel has a shuttle bus which provides transport to Gora Railway station and the Cable car. We enjoyed walking to the Hakone Open-air Museum even though it was uphill on the return to the hotel. ##### John Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Melissa Apr 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities A truly wonderful, beautiful, and relaxing hotel. Food was also very good. ##### Melissa Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kathy Oct 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Would stay again Both the variety and quality of the breakfast and dinner menus were great. Bathing suit onsen area was different (i'm not sure i'm a fan of the different colours of water) but really enjoyed the traditional onsen at Yunesun. Many outdoor areas meant that none were crowded. The water temp did feel a littl bit cool compared to the private onsen at the hotel. Beautiful hotel in a beautiful setting. Unfortunately is was raining during our stay. It would have been nice to have a shuttle from the hotel to Yunesun to avoid walking in the rain as it is a rather steep walk. ##### Kathy Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Christina Oct 11, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities Rooms were clean and the front desk staff was friendly. Dining was very disappointing, wasn't expecting kaiseki but tastes worse than local buffet place. Hot springs bath onsite was small, outdoor bath had limited mountain view. It was nice to get complimemtary access to another onsen a block away with multiple pools. Overall, okay but not a 5-star hotel. ##### Christina ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dolly Apr 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great food.
