Ashigarashimo District Hotels with Kylpyammeita

"The hotel itself is not bad - beds are comfortable and large, and the dinner is okay, but nothing too special. This hotel overwhelmingly caters to families, which is evident when staying there: there are many children, and a lot of the amenities cater to them as well. For example the sauna is not very hot and there’s a lot of candies in the free snack bar. I wish the hotel was better at communicating / marketing this on their website, as I’m not the intended audience and it’s very expensive for a mediocre experience. As well, the breakfast timing is questionable - only available from 7am - 8:30am, along with a 10am checkout time this is quite an early start and not very relaxing."

"The location was amazing right when you get off from Shinjuku - the amenities are nice and the staff helpful. Just note that checkout is at 10:00AM and getting a late one requires you to pay. A bit pricey, but not in comparison to other options in Hakone."

"It was a great time. So nice experience. The staff is very polite and friendly. The dinner and the breakfast were amazing. We also visited a private onsen, spent really nice time there under the sound of the rain and with the view on bamboo forest."

"Minulla ei ollut suuria odotuksia, kun päätin jäädä tänne. Se oli vain hotelli yöksi, mutta saavuttuani tajusin, että tämä paikka tarjosi minulle paljon yllätyksiä täällä oli luonnollisia kuumia lähteitä, mutta en odottanut, että voit käydä kylvyssä, ja kuumat lähteet ovat erittäin hyviä. Toinen yllätys on, että ennen kuin tulin tänne, ajattelin löytää Hakonesta paikan, josta voisin nähdä Fuji-vuoren, en odottanut näkeväni sen hotellin laiturilta, jossa on laaja näkymä ja kaunis kuvakulma. Kolmanneksi, palveluhenkilökunta osaa kommunikoida taitavasti kiinaksi ja heidän vilpitön ja ystävällinen tapansa saa minut vieraalla maalla matkustavana tuntemaan oloni lämpimämmiksi."

"The entrance is right in front of Gora Station, so transportation wouldn't be an issue. Plenty of shops and places to eat around the station, but they close pretty early. The front desk staff can speak English and explained everything clearly, from the type of onsen, the bathing hours, meals, and how to get to our rooms (it was in a separate building). The onsen are great, the outdoor private bathtub is great, but the water cools off pretty quickly in winter. The room is very spacious and they also provide an extra futon. I could do a bit of work comfortably in the rooms while resting. They have a bunch of amenities at the lobby, you could make tea, coffee, get some ice cream and bring them to your rooms. The breakfast and dinner were very delicious. You need reservations for meals since the seats are limited."

"I would really love to visit again. So conveniently located at togendai port. Just 5mins walk from back exit. Staff are international and speaks good english. Love the food and free flow alcohol at buffet. I booked private onsen for my family 3000yen for 40mins. Clean and comfortable. There is shuttle bus service from odawara station. Taked abt an hour. Prebook with the hotel for the shuttle bus to and from odawara. It's probably a lil pricey compared to other hotels but it's not the most expensive and I think it's worth it."

"Had a delightful stay at the ryokan. The rooms are quite impeccable with the smell of the hinoki filling the room, it was quite heavenly. We chose the room with the outdoor bath. And given the cool weather, our bathing experience was amazing. The location was also perfect if you are making a trip to the Sengokuhara Susuki Pampas Grass fields, which is such a scenic spot and of which we enjoyed walked to and through in the setting sun. We also opted to have dinner at the ryokan, who specially made it Halal-friendly for us. What's most amazing to us regarding the ryokan was the service. We had a Nepalese staff speaking with us most of the time, as he was the best in English. He personally brought us to our room and even gave an introduction to the room, and what we needed to take note off. After we checked out, he enquired how we were making our way to the train station. There was conveniently located bus stop just outside the ryokan, so we were going to take that. On our way out, he drove out and stopped along the road beside us (good thing there was no traffic) and to our utter surprise offered to drive us to the train station. We found out that he was actually knocking off, but instead of going straight home to rest (before his next shift in the evening), he wanted to drive us to the station. We were exceptionally touched at his extremely kind gesture (as we didn't think it was hotel protocol to do so). Nonetheless, his actions left us a beautiful and lasting impression on the ryokan. Would definitely go again for the luxurious experience!"

"Matkalla Hakone Yumoto Station -bussipysäkille kulkee kartion muotoinen bussilinja Sinun tulee ottaa A-kurssin bussi ja jäädä pois Okada-hotellissa, joka on aivan viimeisen pysäkin edessä. Kuljetus maksaa 200 jeniä per aikuinen, vain käteinen, ja kolikoiden vaihto ei ole mahdollista bussissa, joten jos kerrot, he vaihtavat sen sinulle. Kun olet matkustanut bussilla noin 5 minuuttia, nouse Okada-hotellin hissin 8. kerrokseen, mene Hakone no Mori -käytävälle ja siirry sitten ramppia pitkin. Portaat ovat noin yhden kerroksen korkeammalla. Jos tarvitset, tiedustele Okada Hotel ＜-＞ Hakonenomori autolla, niin sinne on helpompi saapua. Liikkuminen on hieman vaikeaa, mutta ulkokylpy on todella mukavaa. Yunosaton puolella on 6 erilaista ulkokylpyä miehille ja naisille, joten niissä on hyvä liottaa vuorotellen ja Okada Hotellin puolella on sisäkylpy ja ulkokylpylä, mutta tuntuu vähän julkiselta kylpylältä, joten suosittelen menemään vain Yunosatoon. Okada-hotellin 8. kerroksessa on jalkakylpy matkalla Hakone no Moriin, mikä on mukavaa. Illallinen ja aamiainen sisältyivät hintaan, mutta jos tilaat illallisen vakiona, se tarjoillaan tarjottimella. Voit syödä Yunosaton toisessa kerroksessa ja tilata muita ruokalistoja yksitellen tai mukaan. Aamiainen on buffet Hakonenomorin kellarissa, ja vaikka se ei ole kovin monipuolinen, se ei ole paha pikapalaksi. Okada-hotellin pääportilta 10 minuutin kävelymatkan päässä on Tensei Mart -niminen lähikauppa, joka on avoinna klo 9 asti (kortit hyväksytään). Hotellissa on juomien ja jäätelön myyntiautomaatti sekä välipalabaari, jossa myydään välipaloja. Lähistöllä ei ole ravintoloita, joten kannattaa miettiä etukäteen mitä syö. Tarkista bussin aikataulut uloskirjautumisen yhteydessä ja ole jonossa 15–20 minuuttia ennen bussin kyytiin pääsyä. Sukkula on minibussi, joten monet ihmiset eivät pääse siihen, mutta jos jonot myöhään, et edes pääse kyytiin. Monet ihmiset odottivat alemmalla pysäkillä, mutta eivät päässeet kyytiin. Se oli 220 000 wonia sisältäen aamiaisen ja illallisen arkipäivänä, ja olin henkilökohtaisesti tyytyväinen."

"Nice facility, clean and a good amount of space! Had to follow up a bit to get check in instructions but asides from that service was great!"

"Our stay at the hotel was overall excellent, and we would still highly recommend it, especially for couples looking for a pleasant getaway. Almost everything was perfect—the room was clean and comfortable, the facilities were great, and every other staff member we encountered was polite and helpful. It’s truly a lovely place to spend time together. However, our check-in experience was noticeably unpleasant due to one staff member. She came across as unwelcoming and impatient, almost as if we were bothering her. She rushed through the process and felt quite pushy, especially when repeatedly questioning which language we preferred—even though we tried communicating in both Japanese and English. Her attitude made us feel uncomfortable and somewhat unwanted at first. Aside from this one incident, everything else was wonderful. We hope the hotel addresses such front-desk service issues so that future guests can enjoy a consistently welcoming experience from start to finish."
