Hidamari Ichinoyu

We loved staying here, the highlight of the stay was the breakfast and dinner service! To eat the traditional Japanese way was such a unique experience. To pay for a service like this in Australia would cost hundreds so overall the cost of the stay in our eyes was great value! We did a lot of walking, so to be able to retreat in the onsite onsen was so nice. Warning if you can’t walk much there, it is on a steep property, so to walk to the train station is a lot of stairs. Also consider this with luggage we recommend getting a taxi from the train station, it will drop you straight to your door.

The room was very nice and spacious, and the baths were good and not crowded when I went, they have an inside and an outside one. Food was amazing and definitely worth booking dinner and breakfast. The area is definitely worth one or two days.

My husband and I spent months looking forward to a hot spring experience in Hakone, and this one really delivered! I have tattoos so I knew I couldn't go to a public bath -- we got a room here with an open-air bath and it was absolutely incredible. The bath itself is so warm and comfortable. We loved the futons, the tatami floors, the kotatsu, and the beautiful stained glass windows in the room. Dinner was a feast for the eyes and the stomach! I told the hotel ahead of time that I don't eat red meat and they adjusted the meal accordingly, which was very kind. Breakfast was just as good, with some Western options included in the buffet. We also loved the free drinks in the lobby!

We really enjoyed this place, I loved the location it was so pretty. We enjoyed going to Forest Adventure in the morning and then followed by booking a private onsen and lunch next door. Perfect location for family wanting to do this. The train station is gorgeous. Food was fantastic and lovely staff.

Location: in the forest, at small distance frome the village but near the train station. Neighborhood is very calm. The Access to the hôtel IS an aventure, (especially with big luggage it can be very physical) , but the walk IS very nice. The hotel is clean, well decorated, the staff IS helpful,kind and vey reactive. Traditional style room, it has all what it takes for a good stay, the private bath IS very nice. It Can be tight with large multiple luggage. The star of the stay IS dinner: Classy, very tasty, authentic. The breakfast (japanese style) IS very good.
