Experience of the stay
It was, in a very good way, a smart accommodation with no waste in various places.
Apart from the rooms with open-air baths, there are no bathrooms in the rooms, but since I wasn't going to use the room's bathroom anyway at an onsen, I thought it was good that there was no waste.
Since the total number of rooms was small, I went to the onsen both morning and evening, but I could relax in a basically private state with only a few guests coming in at the same time. The onsen had one indoor bath, one outdoor bath, and about six washing stations. There wasn't a sauna.
During my stay, drinks were unlimited, provided in a special capped bottle. A capped bottle is great! Also, the shared spaces were well-equipped, and the kids seemed to have a great time without getting bored. Speaking of kids, the wall in the dining area of the room turned out to be a whiteboard, where they also enjoyed drawing.
I was looking forward to stargazing in the courtyard at night, but I had to give up because of the brightness.
This place might not be suitable for those who want excessive hospitality and ample services, but the staff here would respond pleasantly if you asked them something without being overly intrusive, making it perfect for those who want to leisurely enjoy the extraordinary feeling. I definitely want to visit again.
Experiences during the trip
I visited the Hakone Open-Air Museum for sightseeing. There were also several museums in the surrounding area. For meals, I visited nearby soba restaurants and a dumpling place called Gyoza Center, which was delicious. Since the accommodation did not have a souvenir corner, I stopped by Hakone Yumoto Station on my way back to buy some souvenirs.
