Hotels near Hakone Kowakien Yunessun, Hakone

The most incredible hotel we have ever stayed at. From the moment you arrive the staff do absolutely everything to make you feel welcome and tend to your every need. The views from the lounge are breathtaking and all of the little details make you feel peaceful and relaxed. From the herbal tea station to the wood burning fire at night time, blankets on the chairs and the ambient music playing, we loved it all. The kaiseki breakfast and dinner are truly incredible, although we found we were unable to finish everything as the courses are so generous, we were blown away by all of the beautiful dishes we got to try that we would otherwise not have had on our trip. You can choose and Japanese or western breakfast and if Japanese, you get to select a grilled fish from a list the night before. The whole dining experience was some of the best hospitality I have ever received. We stayed on the second floor in a room with the onsen tub on the balcony and the room itself was comfortable and came with some luxury skincare products which we made use of during our stay. There are also free drinks in the refrigerator in your room which are topped up during your stay. I cannot recommend Hakone Gora Byakudan enough.

Everything was beautifully presented, the dinner was definitely a highlight, and the views, quiet surroundings, and absolutely delightful library was top notch. I could have spent many more days reading and soaking in the serenity! The thoughtfulness of the dinner and breakfast, we were provided the story of each dish, made it greatly more enjoyable.

Massive apartment. A full family could stay there comfortably. I was lucky enough to have a fifth floor so a spectacular view. I sat in my room for hours looking out the window. The onsen downstairs is open until midnight and really nice. Best hotel I’ve ever stayed at.

Open fire grilled meat was amazing as well as grilled seafood. Presentation and service was great.

The girls at reception were very helpful

We liked the big TV, the private onsen, the kitchen, the dining area and the foot bath
