The hotel offers a shuttle service that picks you up from the train station, which is convenient. However, it doesn’t provide any guidance for visiting Mount Fuji, so we had to navigate on our own using the Hakone Travel Pass. It would have been much easier if there had been a tour guide or tourist bus that took us directly, even if we had to pay for it. Another area for improvement is the internet, which was a bit unreliable and sometimes cut out at night.
The room was comfortable but could use some improvements. It featured an electric kettle and a fridge, which were great for enjoying tea in the evening. The onsen was excellent, with wonderful hot spring water, although the facility could benefit from some updates and a bit more attention to its decor.
Overall, the experience was great. The hotel offers stunning lake views with a glimpse of Mount Fuji, but if you want a closer view, the hotel doesn't provide any services to help with that. As foreigners, we were unable to rent a car, so we had to rely on local transport in Hakone, which made getting around a bit slower. Still, everything was overall very good.
