Gardens onsen

Wanted meals in our room

We really enjoyed our room, the garden area, the two meals we received, and the wonderful company of the woman who shared the meals with us.

This was genuinely the most incredible place I have ever stayed. You are literally living in the middle of a beautiful Japanese garden. The dinner and breakfast were wonderful, and the service made us feel like royalty. The outdoor onsen in the mountains was absolutely magical. There were yukata, separate sleepwear, and an incredible selection of high-quality skincare and body-care products. We even had our own private outdoor bath. The cottage was huge — it is listed as 46 m², but honestly it felt much bigger. The whole place is like a fairytale. Everything is so beautiful that it almost feels like a film set for some magical paradise. An absolutely unforgettable experience.

My only regret is that I stayed for just one night. I really wish I’d booked longer.

overpriced hotel and far too turisty in Hakone
