Hotels near Lake Ashi

Wonderful hotel! A two year renovation (2018-2020) brought this unique site into the 21st century without losing any of it's charm. It is always a treat to stay there.

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.

loved staying in this hotel. it’s was raining so it could be better if the hotel hosted different activities during the daya besides the workshop they offer. the breakfast could change daily as well.

Booked 2 nights while on Father-Son trip with my 17yo. Definitely an amazing place to stay. Booked the suite with private onsen and it was worth every penny. Only thing I would recommend - if you don’t absolutely love sushi/fish, ask for western style meals; the first night’s dinner and first breakfast was 95% fishy things and we really only like a few seafood things, so unfortunately, most of the meal went to waste :( Final night I asked if they could possibly do more meat dishes than fish and staff was totally accommodating. Amazing location, staff was outstanding, and it was overall a perfect place. Excellent experience and worth the money. Thank you again!

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!

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!

The satisfaction for the price is decent, but there are few restaurants nearby, and they close early. You can use the shared kitchen, so you can prepare food in advance or use the vending machine for simple meals. It's good for a practical trip.
