10/10 Exceptional

Peaceful getaway you never knew you needed.

This place was so peaceful. The private balcony onsen and sound of the rushing water below was the ultimate relaxing getaway. The dinner and breakfast buffets were simply delicious. There were so many options and the tempura was perfect. We loved wearing the provided yukata down to dinner. The staff was also very helpful annd friendly. Our only regret was that we only stayed one night. I wish we could have stayed longer. Hakone Kowakien Yunessun entrance is accessible through a corridor from the hotel and is the perfect relaxing getaway. This was our favorite place of our entire 17 day trip to Japan.

The perfect hotel in Hakone

The Hotel grounds are beautiful. The staff were incredible. I booked this to celebrate getting engaged earlier that day. The staff was very kind and just as happy as we were. I am very confused by the negative reviews. This hotel was incredible. We did the set course dinner and it was great. Many unique foods we never would have tried. The breakfast buffet was great. I would recommend staying 2 nights here to fully enjoy the amenities. 10/10 if we come back go Hakone we will stay here again.
