Perched near Mount Fuji, this well-located hotel hits the sweet spot for hot-spring seekers. A quick 3-minute stroll from Ubako Station puts you right at the doorstep, and I found the variety of rooms impressive – from traditional Japanese-style quarters with Fuji views to modern twins featuring private open-air baths.
While the buffet meals cover all bases (including vegetarian choices) and the hot spring baths are wonderfully relaxing, be aware that dinner can feel a bit assembly-line during peak seasons. Also, the dated hallway decor might not match the room quality you’re expecting.
This place especially suits travelers who prioritize convenience and authentic Japanese bath culture over luxury frills. It’s perfect for families or couples who want a comfortable base for exploring Hakone without breaking the bank. If you’re a first-timer to Japanese hot springs, the English-speaking staff and clear signage make this an ideal introduction to onsen culture.
