Experience of the stay
The design is wonderful♪
The highlight is definitely the beautiful crackling log fireplace!! Enjoying the view of the fire and listening to the sounds while relaxing♡ It feels so calm.
There are plenty of sofas and chairs, so you won't feel crowded at all.
In the evening, they prepared various free snacks and drinks were available in tumblers for you to enjoy at your leisure—最高♡ Please chill out comfortably♪
The hotel's layout is lovely, allowing for a complete circle.
In the morning, the greenery around and in the central courtyard feels pleasant and it's refreshing and lovely, unlike at night. Don't miss adding breakfast and taking your time to enjoy it.
My room had a loft bed that felt like a secret base, and I slept soundly in peace. I had a great time.
Experiences during the trip
The location is Hakone!! There’s no shortage of attractions. Hakone is the best!!
Buying the Odakyu Pass makes it fun to travel around on various modes of transportation♡
Mokumoku cloud drink and black eggs♡
The view of Mt. Fuji from Lake Ashi was spectacularly clear and beautiful!!
While soaking my feet at Lake Ashi, I enjoyed delicious bread.
For lunch, I had delicious craft beer and grilled dishes.
At the cafe with the crackling log fireplace (which also has foot bath seats), I warmed up while enjoying cute monaka and coffee♪♪ So relaxing♡
A specialty!!
At Hatsuhana, I had warm yam-soba with yamakake. It's delicious made with natural yam and eggs♡ It warms you up and is smooth and tasty.
(It's very popular, so you will probably have to wait with dozens of groups during lunchtime. I went around 10 AM, and I could eat without much waiting. When I left, the line was really long.)
Gourmet food, sightseeing, nature!! Hot springs!! Hakone was definitely fulfilling— the best ever♡♡
Pay attention to your clothing!!
The temperature is quite different from Tokyo, so it’s recommended to check the temperature and prepare for winter wear.
It can be unexpectedly cold!!
Since the altitude is high, the temperature changes quite a bit as you climb higher into the mountains. It’s quite cold in the morning and evening.
I visited in November during autumn, and I wore a light down jacket, heat-tech, a vest, a stole, and a heat pack. I was glad I dressed about one and a half times warmer than I imagined!! w
