Hakone Kowakien TEN-YU

10/10 Excellent

"An amazing experience overall!! Our favorite part of our Japan trip. Would definitely go back."

Hotel Indigo Hakone Gora by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was extremely helpful. As soon as the taxi arrive at the entrance, staff was ready to greet us, help with the luggage, drinks, and check-in process They have a shuttle that pick people up from Odawara station and Gora station that we did not use. We did use it to get from hotel to Gora station though Breakfast is good. Dinner was also great but both nights had similar dinner"

Hakone Yutowa

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location!! Super close to Gora station, which is where the Hakone railway ends and The Hakone Loop starts. Multiple bus stops near and food options as well. Property had everything you could want. Public/private onsen, big breakfast buffet selection, and tons of space to hang out and relax. Free snacks and beer every evening as well. Recommend"

HESTA Hakone

10/10 Excellent

"The room booked originally said shared dormitory for 2 on the hotels .com app but when we arrived it was a room shared with 2 other males which was not acceptable. The lovely man on reception helped us to change to a double room but obviously it cost more but the room was very good and spacious . Check your booking carefully to avoid this mistake . There is a public onsen which was great There are no showers or baths in the room but a toilet . The bus stops outside the road leading upto the guest house and it is only a short walk to the lake and the main tourist attractions at Togendai . Restaurants nearby are open in the evening but close early . We had no problem finding something to eat . It is in a beautiful location"
