"温泉の質が良く、肌の調子が良くなりました。館内はすごくリラックスできる香りがしました。鳥のさえずりで目が覚め、すごくすっきりとした朝を迎えられました。ダイニングルームに広がる一面の山の景色が特に好きです。部屋は2人だとちょうどよくゆったりと使えて、友達や大切な人とゆっくりとした時間を過ごすのにぴったりです。バス停も近いですが、車があればとても便利です。無料の駐車場もあります。芦ノ湖、大涌谷、美術館巡りにもってこいの場所だと思いました。観光した後、箱根の名物を持ち帰ってホテルで食べました。カトラリーを貸してもらえたり、電子レンジやお湯、部屋内に冷蔵庫もあったりしたので、やりたいことに合わせて自由に過ごせるのもいいところだと思いました。"

"The Villa was new and up scale and roomy. It was super clean and great instruction on how to deal with the needs for our 2 days stay. The bedrooms was good size with comfortable Queens size bed and not those twin size. The beds were great and firm enough you know they weren't cheap material. The amenities were great with the sauna room was clean and equipped with sauna towel along with the private hot tub in the unit and no need to share. The balcony was great for BBQ with family and friends....

Top Kowakudani Hotel Reviews

Hakone Kowakien TEN-YU

10/10 Excellent

"This was a lot of fun. Wish we had stayed the two nights as intended. The food was good but my only negative is the buffet was not amazing. The food in Japan is so incredible. My kids loved the water pair, the onsen was lovely and they were very helpful"

Hakone Yutowa

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location!! Super close to Gora station, which is where the Hakone railway ends and The Hakone Loop starts. Multiple bus stops near and food options as well. Property had everything you could want. Public/private onsen, big breakfast buffet selection, and tons of space to hang out and relax. Free snacks and beer every evening as well. Recommend"

Rakuten STAY TERRACE Hakone Kowakudani

10/10 Excellent

"The place was clean and has a washer/dryer. Beautiful bathroom with a hot spring water flowing in the tub. Huge apartment for the family. They are quit remote from any restaurants, we arrived late to the hotel and had to go out to find dinner, most of the restaurants there were closing by 8p. So we walked around tired and hungry and not finding any place to eat dinner, But found Lawson and grab some instant noodles to bring back to the apartment to eat, Had I known about the scarcity of dinning options, I would have just packed food to make there. There was a nice kitchen with all the amenities to make a meal. I would go back and bring food next time."

Prince Smart Inn Atami

10/10 Excellent

"It was a clean and comfortable stay, conveniently located near the station and convenience stores, with friendly staff. You can ship your suitcase to the airport via the Kuroneko Yamato service inside the station, and the Tully's Coffee on the ground floor is a lovely space—this is also where you can pick up your complimentary breakfast."
