Hakone Ashinoko Hanaori（ORIX HOTELS & RESORTS）

A fantastic selection of food and drink at breakfast and lunch. Scenery is breath taking and worth the hour bus ride. As we booked last minute free shuttle bus was unavailable. 2mins walk to cable car and pirate ship. Trail walk around the lake. Our one night stay was not long enough. Bedrooms not huge but liked the proper shower

Our room was very clean and we loved our our view

Great for family trip

It is a dream hotel thast we chose to rest in the middle of our trip to Japan. After 4 intese days in Tokyo, we needed a day off and this hotel was just perfect for the occasion. The room had an adequate size, though if we came back, we would definitely choose a bigger one. However, all the premises including our room were completely silent and calm and this implied quality sleep. We had a hotspring in the balcony, which has an added value, though it was a little small for two people. The hotel has a tantalizing outdoor area, ideal for having a drink with a view to the lake. Both dinner and breakfast are excellent. You have a lot of variety to choose from and all the products have a superior quality. Having free drinks of any kind in the buffet is really appreciated. The staff speaks English fluently, something I really love, because that is not the normal thing in Japan, I’m afraid, at least to my mind. The hotel is a modern ryokan with onsen and termal baths available for customers. This is so nice, but Japanese culture implies that to bathe in those baths , one is not allowed to wear swimwear or something similar. So, we couldn’t try the experience because this is not part of my culture. We simply used the one we had in the room. In general, we loved our stay and we would like to have stayed a longer time.
