I will start with my critic feedback first: the bathroom was like airplane bathroom. The entire room is so good, it has everything what you need , Including the clothes to go to Olsen, but the bathroom is very dated, small and crampy. Staff is 5/5. They want to make sure you are happy and comfortable - their hospitality is a role model for others. Location - the best! Walkable from Tori gate View - the best! Of the lake Ashiniko There are 3 hotels nearby , including a buffet place, where chef would come to you to explain the food for non jap customers, amazing. Overall , I think it’s a great hotel if you are not too bothered about bathroom.

Great staying experience. Staff provides very good service. Every staff I interacted with spoke good English. The indoor and outdoor onsen make our experience even better. Food is good quality though a little expensive. Overall, it’s worth the money spent.

The staff were all excellent and went above and beyond to accommodate your needs. The views and scenery around the hotel are also stunning however the hotel itself is quite dated and while the food was really good, it was the most expensive we had in Japan.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. Great views of the lake and Fuji. The lift to the top of Mt. Hakone was an easy walk, and the hotel offers frequent buses to the town and Odawara station. The room was cool and well kept, and we enjoyed the restaurant and unique architecture.

RUBEN, Toronto

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Amenities
The property itself is undeniably beautiful—nestled right by the lake with serene views and a peaceful atmosphere. The staff were friendly and accommodating, and the food was reasonably good. However, all of that is completely overshadowed by one major issue: the discriminatory ban on tattooed guests using the onsen. Nowhere in the hotel rules or booking information was this restriction disclosed. Had I known, I would have never booked this hotel. Being refused access to a key amenity that is part of the experience—especially in a hotel of this caliber—is incredibly disappointing and feels exclusionary. It’s 2025. This kind of outdated policy should either be reconsidered or clearly communicated upfront. Beautiful setting or not, I won’t be returning—and I hope others take this into consideration before booking.

If you want a very quiet remote place to stay with great views of Lake Ashi and Mt Fuji this is the place to stay. The bus station is a 5 min walk if that.
