Hakone Hot Springs hotel rooms a the Independent

"As of July 2025 the private onsen are BRAND NEW, the staff told me they just redid them . Do not different than the photos online, but still extremely comfortable. This place is excellent, the staff was very friendly and the room was spacious and so quiet. Very good value"

"What a beautiful, relaxing place to stay. The buffet was very delicious. The onsen was heaven. We had our own tub on the balcony that was a dream. The shuttle stops frequently and can take you quite far, and can get you connected to the trains. They have free coffee and ice cream that my kids were obsessed with. Connected to a nice market and a water park. Breathtaking views!"

"ゆっくりしたくて、ずっと気になっていたこちらを予約させて頂きました。 想像以上に素敵な滞在になりました。お食事も混みすぎず、品数も十分だと思います。ドリンクもアルコールまで飲み放題は嬉しいです。朝もセカセカせずに頂きました。 お風呂と今回はマッサージも利用しましたが、スタッフさんがとても丁寧でした。 お部屋もキレイで眺めも良く、ゆっくり寛げました。 浴衣が選べる他にも作務衣も準備されていたのが良かったなぁと思います。 夜に浴衣のまま寝るとはだけるので。。 どのスタッフさんもにこやかでした。 また行きたいお宿になりました。"

"Very nice employees and hotel. Highly recommended"

"Beautiful onsen, very hiddrn and quiet. Seems like an authentic Japan experience for foreign travelers. Wonderful private hot spring baths. Choice of western or Japanese slerping arrangements. Ie. Beds or futon mats on real tatami floors. The dinner and breakfast alone are worth the stay. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Especially when navigating cultural differences. "

"Very excellent choice for a great birthday week!! "

"The hotel staff is amazing and the amenities are nice for what we are paying. It’s very family friendly - in the buffet restaurant they have cute dinnerware sets and bibs for kids and actual high chairs (the ones people use at home) and baby wipes warmed in small buckets of warm water. Love the option of private bath (additional 1500¥) and free massage chair use. "

"Wonderful stay. Fine dining on the property was superb. Staff was friendly and property beautiful location. Onsen has a lot of traditional rules and restrictions, but we were able to enjoy a few times. "

"The hotel is new and conveniently located right next to the train station. We were lucky to be able to see Mt Fuji from the room. Excellent selection of buffet breakfast. Sparkling clean room. Very professional staff. We had a very nice stay!"
