The building was old but very well furnished! Comfortable rooms, spacious. The onsen was fantastic. The guest house was understaffed, but the receptionist was kind. I would absolutely reccomend this place to stay, especially to make use of the Hakone FreePass! The Ropeway and the pirate ship were 15 minites away walking and the bus stop for the H and J lines were right outside the property.

Quiet place but kind of remote, a decent walk to get down to the Lake. The facility has no elevator but is only two floors. Most of the restaurants in the area close early and the hotel doesn’t have a Cafeteria / Restaurant, just vending machines and a concession stand.

We enjoyed our stay. Quiet, quaint, simple and still room for 4 (2 parents 2 teens). It's a great location for the lake activities. A car rental is recommended.

Great location near Cable car and Ashinoko. Spacious rooms but vending machine were only food options in the hotel. Coffee making facilities in room Would be great.

Property was great! Older, but in very good shape. The town is small, and there was only one restaurant open for dinner.
