For active travelers, a chalet is a great mix of the outdoors and the snug inside. Usually fully furnished and with kitchen facilities, chalets are typically wooden and in the Alpine region of Europe, but can also be found other places in the world. Characterized by their sloped roofs, chalets can be single units or separate apartments, and are ideal for skiing vacations.
great onsen facility with sauna & cold bath & great view, clean & comfortable bedrooms, nice amenities, very convenient frequent free shuttle bus service to train stations.
Staff were very kind and their hospitality was amazing and the best of all the accommodations we stayed at in our 3 week trip to Asia. The place was very clean and the food served was very good (we ate dinner twice, but not the breakfast). Given most local restaurants close early, it was very convenient to be able to have dinner at the guest house. The onsen that you can book is private and relaxing. Free shuttle to Gora station really helped each morning given that the location was a bit off the main road.
Good location and the lake view is awesome.
The shuttlebus service is convenient, as well as the outstanding afternoon tea and breakfast.
Most of all, the staffs are terrific！
The location was a 5 minute free shuttle from Gora Station, Hakone which was a bonus. Hubby and I loved Happy Hour every night around the fireplace, after a hard day of walking at the local tourist attractions. LOL. Gora was a beautiful place to visit. Breakfast was amazing and I would stay there again. Food and cocktails were Oishii.
Great stay in Hakone. The location is accessible from the bus system and is in a quiet area. The inn offers a shuttle to Gora station. They have a small restaurant that serves food and drinks during the day and into the evening. The restaurant/common area is very cozy with a fireplace and views of a rock garden and mountains. They let you reserve their onsen rooms for 40 minute blocks in the evening.
The staff was very kind and accommodating. We very much enjoyed our stay.
Go here for the atmosphere. The wooden capsules you sleep in made me feel a child again, given permission by his mum tot sleep in the wooden hut he built. I loved it. Surrounded by backpackers with stories to tell, with a small, cozy cafe and on the quiet edge of town, I would definitely go here again. Recommended.
The hotel and its garden were very beautiful. The common area and all others are intelligently designed. It's nice to spend time in that lounge looking at the garden - by fireplace in winter even better I imagine - you can also enjoy your meal there. The onsen was okay, too though I was expecting some more of it. There's also a shuttle service to Gora station. All in all, it was still a good choice.
True to the photos, Gorgeous garden (very zen), good lounge area with fireplace, very clean (which I appreciated), private use of onsen for 50 mins (reserve on check in)
They have a shuttle to Gora in the morning (9, 10, 11am) - makes it convenient to go around.
