When looking for a hotel in Hakone, I valued the hot springs. After all, it was my first time to bring my children here, and I hoped to have a brand new experience. I looked at many hotels on Ctrip, and finally I gritted my teeth and decided on Xianjing, which had an open-air hot spring and tatami-style beds.
1. Address: It takes a long way to get off the tram, but there are many small spots along the way. The scenery on the uphill road is also good, so we walked and stopped and walked quickly.
2. Hotel reception: When checking in, there was a Japanese gentleman who could speak simple English. Because we arrived early, we checked in and stored our luggage first, and asked us about the time to lay the tatami and the breakfast time for the next day. I wanted to book dinner, but was told that it was too late that day. When we returned to the hotel, a Chinese lady greeted us. She was very enthusiastic. Not only did she bring a small toiletries set for my brother, but she also went to the room to introduce the location of the open-air hot spring, the usage time, and the operation of the electrical appliances in the room in detail.
3. Room: The tatami bed is a typical traditional Japanese style. There is a heated table inside, which is also the kind commonly used by Japanese families. It is very comfortable to put your legs inside. Sleeping on the tatami is quite warm and not hard at all. The bathroom and toilet are separated into wet and dry areas, and are clean. The only drawback is that the air conditioning is not powerful. Even if it is turned on to 30 degrees, the room is still cold. I saw another comment before, which also said that it is cold in winter.
4. Soup: There are two types of open-air soup and indoor soup. There is only one open-air soup, which requires men and women to have separate time periods; the indoor soup is for men and women alone and can be used at any time. Both soups are **, typical Japanese style. The open-air soup is not big, the temperature is suitable, and it is very quiet. I originally wanted to go again the next morning, but found that the morning time period is for men, which is not a good combination (because the last time period the night before was also for men). I didn't try the indoor soup, which is a little regretful.
5 Breakfast: Breakfast is in the small restaurant at the door. It is set, one serving per person, with a combination of meat and vegetables. It is quite standard. The children are not used to the cold egg, but everything else is OK
6. Finally, let's talk about the price: 2600+ a night, which is really not cheap. It should be a holiday + I booked the hotel late, so I will feel the pain first, and I must book early in the future.
