Amazing service from wait staff at dinner and breakfast with gourmet transitional Japanese food. Onsen view was beautiful.

Staff were very kind and respectful. Room was clean and spacious. Room had a gorgeous view of the river and trees. We enjoyed the very authentic traditional Japanese food served at breakfast and dinner. The public onsen is fantastic and the area also includes a sauna and a cold plunge. Be aware that guests with large tattoos are not permitted. Would not recommend the Japanese traditional room for guests over 5’8ft as the doorways are very low. My boyfriend had hit his head numerous times. Otherwise, our stay was great and would recommend Kai Hakone!

Property cannot service western travelers, lack of language is a big problem , it is not a luxury property with some nice spring pool and clean rooms , food variety and quality poor appeals only Domestic market, transportation is a problem also with limited taxi and hotels does not have shuttle, I ended up paying a $1 for boiled egg for my son which they refused to accommodate 2 days and finally agreed

rooms were best we stayed at by far quality beds

This was an unique experience. The hot spring bath, the Japanese traditional room overlooking the river, the kaiseki dinner. It was such a wonderful and relaxing experience. I wish we stayed 1-2 days longer. Highly recommended beautiful place.

Excellent service, experience l, and onsen. The food was great, nothing to complain about with the overall experiences.

Excellent services. Relaxing atmosphere and good experience with Japanese banquet meal.

Before making reservation, I've sent email to the hotel if they can provide us porter service because there are total 7 adults and 3 child with a lot of luggages due to 11 days of trip. Ms.Kaori replied me yes they can provide me porter service so I made reservation and also reserve taxi for the guide at 20.00 who stay nearby since 17Sep. After reservation, I keep contact with the hotel about this to ensure everything is smooth with Ms.Eri and Mr.Rei. One the day of arrival 18Dec, guide reconfirm with the hotel again but was informed that no proter service and no taxi until 22.00. What happen!!...The hotel keep confirm me these kinds of service until 2 days before arrival. The hotel inform me that it's call center at Okinawa who confirm me not the hotel. I don't belive that I heard this from the hotel in Japan. Fortunately, the hotel took small truck to help our luggage but no taxi anyway. I have to ask for another hotel where guide stay to pick up guide instead. I don't know what happen but you should explian better than this.
