Mountain View Hotels in Hakone

"This hotel is suitable for self-driving as public transport stops are quite a distance away, making it inconvenient with luggage. Checking in very late felt a bit odd, and I mistakenly went to an old building nearby which was quite a fright! However, many staff appeared the next morning and everything was sorted. The breakfast was plentiful, and the front desk staff, who spoke Chinese, were very helpful in assisting us with taxi bookings, which was a huge plus."

"This hotel is conveniently located about 200 meters from the Tenyu bus stop, accessible by Hakone's main bus lines, Z03 and J03. The hotel itself is beautifully decorated and has a very stylish ambiance. The Japanese-style room, though not huge, was quite spacious and quiet. Despite checking in during February, the room's excellent insulation actually made it feel warm. The private open-air bath on the balcony was amazing; even with outside temperatures around 5 degrees Celsius, the continuous flow of 40-degree-plus hot spring water meant it was never cold. The hotel also offers outdoor public baths and a footbath. Plus, on the 5th floor lobby, there are two free ice cream machines – just ask the front desk for complimentary tokens to enjoy as much as you like – and a continuous supply of various iced teas. I must especially commend the dining experience; half-board (dinner and breakfast) is an absolute must! Upon check-in, the front desk proactively changed our two nights of shabu-shabu to one night of shabu-shabu and one night of kaiseki. Each dinner was a full course, incredibly delicious, and left us completely stuffed. For breakfast, there are two restaurants, and I highly recommend the buffet; the variety is extensive and far superior to the breakfast at the Imperial Hotel, which is often ranked as a top Tokyo dining spot on Ctrip. The hotel also hosts free evening performances, and you can even pay to release sky lanterns. Honestly, if I came to Hakone 100 times, I'd stay at Tenyu 100 times."

"We stayed in a few Ryokans but this Yoshiike Ryokan is the best because the room have large window that allow fresh mountain air to flow into the room and the futons are incredibly comfortable and warmed. We came in January when the weather dropped to 0c and the room had heaters. The onsen is beautiful and natural. My wife loved the gardens. And the receptionists are very polite and happy. We loved happy people that makes your money well spend. Will come back in the winter."

"The lobby was very comfortable with a great view and a warm ambiance. The staff were attentive and responsible. Self check-in was available, and there were free drinks in the lobby. The room was very clean and comfortable."

"The hotel was new and clean. We had a room with a view towards the mountain. To reach there you can walk or take a bus. Near Souzan station, which I think it is ideal if you plan to stay overnight because you can continue the journey through the ropeway. There is no actual reception, the reception is done within the restaurant. If you want breakfast at the place, please contact the hotel before arriving because the rest of the areas nearby start quite late after 9am. Also, the hotel may not have dinner, need to check with Hotel before booking. Made a mistake of not checking and had to order Food delivery which was not very nice. But the staff there are friendly and nice. Overall, I enjoyed my stay and may decide to stay there again next time "

"🏔️✨【Hakone Indigo Hotel: A Dreamlike Mountain Retreat】 This was my first stay at Hakone Gōra Indigo, and I was truly rejuvenated by the ambiance. The hotel is nestled in a hot spring resort surrounded by mountains; opening the window reveals layers of greenery and distant clouds and mist, as beautiful as a painting. The room design is modern yet elegantly Japanese, and the open-air onsen was fantastic. The spring water was smooth and comforting, instantly washing away a day's fatigue. Breakfast was also incredibly impressive, using fresh local ingredients; you could feel the attention to detail even in the bread and juice. The staff were friendly and attentive, with every greeting feeling warm, making you feel right at home. The overall experience exceeded expectations, and it's worth revisiting, whether you're a couple, a family, or a solo traveler. 💛 The only thing worth mentioning is that the in-room onsen water seemed to be completely diluted; you could even call it a 'fake' onsen. It lacked the typical onsen smell and was essentially just hot water."

"Really nice room with good views over the railway and hills. Great breakfast and dinner, which changed day to day for our two day stay. Didn't use the public baths, but the bath on our balcony and private baths were great. A bit hit and miss as to whether you get a chance to use the private baths as there is no booking system (not a criticism, it just might take a few attempts/waiting to get a bath). Free snacks and late night ramen were great as well."

"Overall, it's a very good hotel. Although it's a bit old, it doesn't smell musty, but there's some moss in the hot springs. Breakfast is relatively early, so I recommend booking it with dinner when you arrive, rather than booking breakfast and dinner later, as it's very expensive. Overall, the experience was quite good. Transportation was a little inconvenient, requiring a taxi. Everything else was quite satisfactory."

"The hostel is near Gora Station, but it's a waste to come to healing. It's nice to go up and down by lift when you come to Gora Station, but it's a ryokan, so it can be a waste. Breakfast was buffet and ok, dinner is a lot of drinks and drinks, but the meal is a little less. It was good to be a convenience store right in front of you, and the bathroom in the room was really good."

"First, I was very happy to get such big Japanese-style room. It has 2 big rooms and much space. You can easily lie there if there are 8 of you. Hotel is kind of tired, but staff keeps it in a good condition. Dinner is a set menu, not kanseki. But it still was good. I was full and happy. Breakfast is a buffet. A bit about how to reach the hotel. There are shuttels from Hakone-Yumoto. It should cost 200 yen. They bring you to Okada hotel. But it's not your hotel. Stuff will give you a map and you need like 3 min to reach the right hotel. There are several onsens. Open and closed. All were good, warm. With good view on mountains. You can take yukata at the reception. And you need to make bed by yourself, but it's only cover mattress but sheet. Nothing difficult."
