Kanagawa

Extremely convenient location! I initially thought getting to Bashamichi Station would be complicated, requiring a transfer to a bus or JR at Yokohama Station, but once I arrived, I realized I made the right choice! In addition to three Family Mart convenience stores on the ground floor and fourth floor of the hotel, there are at least two supermarkets within a ten-minute walk, and their prices are even lower than those in the basement of larger department stores, which is very considerate for guests. Furthermore, Bashamichi Station is centrally located, with Sakuragicho Station and Motomachi Station both within a 15-minute walk. You can even stroll around, eat, shop, and before you know it, you've walked all the way to Yokohama Station. Plus, with the World Porter Mall nearby, it's definitely a top choice for dining, entertainment, and shopping.

This is the view from the night view room! The location is excellent, as it's just a crosswalk away from Sakuragicho Station. The yakiniku restaurant on the 4th floor of the same building was really delicious, and the yakiniku place on the 2nd floor was also great. You don't even have to go outside; everything you need is in the same building! There's a 7-Eleven on the first floor, too, haha! Highly recommend! The breakfast was also quite tasty.

This hot spring hotel boasts an excellent location, just a one-minute walk from Gora Station, making it incredibly convenient. The hotel offers a full range of facilities, including a large public bath, an open-air hot spring, private hot spring baths, a shop, and complimentary yukata. After dinner, they provide ramen for a late-night snack, along with various free snacks, drinks, and ice cream, which the children absolutely loved! The hotel rooms are clean, tidy, and spacious enough, and each room also features a semi-open-air bath. For dinner, there are two kaiseki meal options to choose from. After checking in, you can reserve your dining time and select your menu at the front desk. We booked the first seating at 5:30 PM and chose the beef hot pot and sushi. The food was delicious, and the service was excellent. Overall, this hotel offers great value for money and is highly recommended!

cannot recommend this hotel enough. we felt like royalty here. the room was amazing, the staff was friendly, and the restaurants were great. the grounds are beautiful and I honestly believe you could spend a whole day at the hotel doing activities. they have a medium, tea, shopping, the garden, spa, and osen. the location is great too. I will always recommend this hotel to anyone going to Hakone

I was very satisfied with the spacious room during my 3-night stay in a large room with a sofa. Personally, I don't like showering in a bathtub, so I specifically chose this room type. The hotel lobby offers a wide array of amenities; in addition to basic toiletries, you can freely take skincare products, face masks, and bath powders, which is excellent. There's a restaurant and a FamilyMart convenience store downstairs, making it very convenient. Shopping nearby is also very accessible. I didn't dine at the hotel, so I can't comment on the food. Those are the pros. As for the cons: because it's next to the railway, there was still noise at night, but thankfully I brought my own earplugs, and the hotel also provides standard earplugs. Light sleepers should consider this. The hotel is located near Exit A of the East Exit of the station; if you find Exit A, it's a 3-minute walk to the hotel. If you only find the East Exit, I recommend going outside to ground level and then navigating directly to the hotel, which will take at least 10 minutes to walk.

Ofuna Station is an excellent choice for visiting Kamakura and Enoshima, as the monorail gets you to Enoshima in just 15 minutes. Sotetsu Fresa Inn Kamakura-Ofuna is very close to the station, less than a 5-minute walk away. Shopping downstairs is convenient with many convenience stores and pharmacies, and there is also a department store inside the station. The staff is friendly, and the breakfast is delicious with a great variety of items, including homemade tofu pudding! One day, I even came across a small market held inside the hotel. Overall, the entire experience was wonderful :)

The hotel is just adjacent to Minatomirai station, and around 15 minutes walk to JR Sakurakicho station. The hotel is clean and my room type is equipped with washing machine and microwave which are really cool.

Had a wonderful stay at this hotel. One of the highlights was the private onsen… I booked the 9 PM slot and enjoyed a relaxing soak in complete privacy. I also met some Indonesian staff members who were incredibly friendly and helpful, which made the experience even more memorable.

I highly recommend Hakone Kowakien Ten-yu, a hidden gem nestled in the mountains. Although I only stayed for one night, its high-quality service and facilities perfectly embody a luxurious Japanese healing retreat. Each room features a private open-air hot spring, offering exceptional privacy as you soak in the warm waters while gazing at Hakone's lush green valleys, allowing you to forget the hustle and bustle of the city. The hotel's "Ukigumo no Yu" (Floating Cloud Bath) is also a must-experience; bathing there feels like becoming one with the boundless mountain and sky. The attentive Japanese hospitality from the staff is truly exceptional. The premium ambiance and ultimate relaxation here definitely make it a must-stay on your list for a trip near Tokyo!
