Hotels near Hakone Kowakien Yunessun, Hakone

the view was amazing, loved the private onsen, the style of the place, the staff were so kind and professional, the DIY herbal tea station was fabulous, the shiatsu massage was great, the shower was amazing, the private/ complimentary shuttle was a lovely touch

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.

Very large room, with everything you need (except coffee! For which you have to pay!) The staff is really very welcoming and kind, even for Japan which has already such a high standard It's in the middle of nowhere... Not really In nature either.

The rooms are very spacious, we booked one with a private Onsen which was amazing. There is a tattoo-friendly public spa (with sauna) as well and a 24h fitness studio. Hakone‘s town center is a 15 minute walk away.

Spacious, comfortable room. Hotel environment is attractive.

Loved our stay here! It had everything we needed and more: • Large room with 2 comfortable double beds • Projector, with Netflix, Prime etc. (note you’ll have to sign in if you have an account) • Kitchenette • washing machine/dryer • Dining room • Balcony with foot spa • And the best bits, Sauna and Private indoor onsen bath in the room (with Mountain View - not Mt Fuji but it was still nice being surrounded by greenery after our city trips) They even provided us with some snacks and drinks in the fridge which was a lovely touch! We got the J bus from Odawara (I think it said approx 30 mins but with traffic took a bit longer!) The bus stop pretty much stops 100m from the hotel. There’s a bus stop across the road that takes you back towards Hakone/Odawara. There’s Kowakudani Station 5 mins walk from the hotel (which will take you to Hakone and Odawara too) We recommend going to Hakone Picnic, Taiwanese restaurant for food. The food and service was great, and it had incredible views of the mountain, again 5 mins walk from the hotel. A little further up the hill maybe another 5 mins is a 7 eleven. Despite not having a reception, check in was fairly straightforward (this can be done in your room) and queries were quickly answered and resolved through a FaceTime call (using their iPad). Note: details for access and your room is provided prior to your stay via email/booking.com messages. I’d definitely stay in a Rakuten hotel again!
