Luxury in a Suite with Open-Air Bath during GW

Experience of the stay
I was informed that a rarely available suite with an open-air bath at Lime Resort Hakone was open, so I made an immediate reservation. I had been checking for vacancies regularly, but I felt lucky that it opened up at this timing! The kids were excited that our room had a bath. The hotel had a very calm atmosphere, which was a wonderful healing experience for me, who leads a busy daily life. There was a drink bar, and they lent each person their own tumbler, which was very useful during our stay. We could have made a dinner reservation at the hotel's restaurant, but since it seemed difficult to eat in peace with small children, we walked to a nearby restaurant for dinner. It was a bit of a walk, but it made for a nice stroll, and we were able to buy souvenirs along the way.
Experiences during the trip
For dinner, we went to a restaurant in Sengokuhara that serves kamameshi (rice cooked in an iron pot). It was very delicious, and since it was a tatami room, we felt安心 with small children. We avoided the traffic jams during GW by using public transportation, so we relied on buses in Hakone. We took the bus and ropeway from the hotel to Owakudani. We also visited Lake Ashi and the souvenir shops in front of the station, and surprisingly enjoyed it even without a rental car!
