Fujita Hotels in Hakone

First stop in Hakone! We stayed at Hakone Kowakien Mikawaya Ryokan. It is right there when you get off the mountain bus ”Horaien”. It is very convenient. Check-in is not until 3 o'clock. We arrived early and stored our luggage first. We went to the nearby Okada Museum of Art (8 minutes walk). If you want to visit carefully, you need to stay at least 2 hours. Then we took the bus to the Open-Air Museum (10 minutes by bus). The wind was really strong that day, but we walked around for more than an hour. After we came back, we waited in the hut next to us when we checked in. We were served a cup of tea and a fruit. Someone would take us to the room later and introduce the hotel facilities. The three standard yukatas in the room are S, M and L sizes. Please make sure they fit. The whole hotel is very cold. There is no central air conditioning. The room is heated by the warm air. It is also very cold to walk along the corridor inside the hotel to the large bath and restaurant. We stayed in the hotel for too long. I booked a one-night stay with two meals. The specialty beer, I don't remember what it is called, you can try it, but don't have too high expectations. I think it is just average. I always think Kyoto's beer is delicious. The hotel's hot spring has one indoor pool and one outdoor pool. They are not big. It is a bit crowded for three people. But the water is very clean. There is an hour of free drinks in the cabin at check-in from 9pm to 10pm, including red wine, white wine, whiskey, white wine, orange juice and apple juice. There is also a 24-hour coffee machine. In general, this hotel is worth recommending. It is cost-effective and the service attitude is also good. There is a guy who can speak Chinese.

Ten-yu at Hakone Kowakien is a luxurious escape nestled in nature. The private onsen in every room, featuring Shigaraki-yaki bathtubs, is pure bliss. The infinity onsen on the 6th floor offers breathtaking views, especially at sunset. We loved the teppanyaki dinner at the historic Guest House, a true culinary experience. The serene valley garden is perfect for a relaxing stroll. The staff was attentive and the overall atmosphere was incredibly tranquil. Highly recommend for a rejuvenating getaway! Don't miss the delicious sashimi and crab for breakfast!

It was a perfect hotel stay for families visiting Hakone. The room was spacious for our family of three. Comfortable bed and well kept room amenities. The buffet breakfast and dinner food and drinks were delicious. We love our visit to the Hakone Kowakien Morinoyu which was included with our hotel stay. The only thing I didn’t like was the checkin procedure. We had to use a machine to checkin instead of going to the checkin counter and have front desk staff processing for us. It was a terrible experience because the machine failed at recognising our passport and it was terribly hard to enter everyone’s details on the touch screen. I should have to do this myself as a guest. Please get rid of the machine check in.

The environment is very good. In the beautiful garden, it is not convenient to just carry a suitcase down a steep slope. Fortunately, a big Japanese brother came to help with the luggage. The shower water in the room is too flush and not concentrated, the lighting switch position design is not good, and it is not convenient to turn off the lights at night. The old people in charge were very nice. The air conditioner sounded a lot to help fix it. Last night, the power was cut off and I helped bring my luggage to another hotel. Thank you very much!
