Hot Springs Hotels in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan

Arrived Haneda airport late. Took taxi to the hotel. ¥4400. Reasonable. Hotel service is excellent, realised I had claustrophobic and arranged a higher floor room for me. I stayed in 5 stars hotel before and they did not notice my request.  So Dormy Inn did provide a good service. The Natural spa on the upper floor is very good. Also the evening free noodle from 9:30pm. Highly recommend.  離羽田機場很近，坐計程車只要¥4400。 早上在川崎去品川很方便。天然溫泉很有日本風味，早餐很地道。性價比高。知道我有密室幽閉症，特別安排房間。之前住五星級酒店，也沒有留意我的要求。所以很讚這所酒店。我來日本也經常住這連鎖酒店Dormy Inn.  很推薦👍

Hakone Hotel Kowakien, a natural onsen hotel offering dinner and breakfast that I'd rate 90 out of 100. It's not easy to impress me in Hakone, the famed hot spring town in Kanagawa Prefecture, but this hotel truly excelled across all criteria, showing a consistently high standard. Both the front desk and restaurant staff were attractive, with fluent English and standard accents; notably, they didn't employ any Southeast Asian staff. The hotel facilities are relatively new and well-designed, and the cleanliness is exceptional. The public areas offer plenty of sofa seating, and the temperature control is precise, allowing guests to comfortably wander around in traditional yukata without feeling cold. The air is fresh with no strong artificial scents, embodying a 'Natural and Pure' concept. The restaurant, named Fontainebleau, lives up to its name with authentic French pastries. The 'all-you-can-eat' style still maintains high-quality ingredients, and there's an unlimited supply of Sapporo Asahi draft beer and Gekkeikan sake. What's more, the self-service alcohol bar is also open during breakfast, which seems quite common for Japanese guests – their physical resilience certainly differs from ours! Observing Japanese dining concepts, you'll notice several characteristics: a wide variety of dishes, comprehensive nutrition, low-temperature preservation, minimal oil and seasoning, and avoiding high-temperature cooking to prevent nutrient loss. The sauna is also quite professional, featuring a 12-minute sand timer, anti-scald mats, humidity and temperature displays, and powerful heating elements that ensure you won't waste any time. Whether you prefer mountain views, garden vistas, or indoor hot springs, there's an option for everyone. For those interested, the address is: 1297 Ninotaira, Hakone-machi, Kanagawa Prefecture 250-0407

Environment: For a hotel with hot springs at around 400 [currency unit], the quality truly exceeded expectations. It's super close to Fujisawa Station, with convenience stores and restaurants right downstairs. Cleanliness: The room was small but very clean. The hot springs were fantastic; I even had them all to myself on a quiet evening during the off-season. Service: The front desk service was excellent, and they even had check-in instructions in Chinese. The only downside is that check-in is at 3 PM and check-out is at 10 PM. This schedule is quite inconvenient for travelers staying just one night. Starting from 10 AM, there were frequent knocks on the door, and then the door was opened directly.

We had so much fun!!! It is not far from Fujisawa Station and there are many convenient stores, restaurants, karaoke, KFC, McDonald's, Donki and etc.

The service was a definite highlight. Of the three hotels I booked for this trip, this was the only one that offered pre-arrival service. They meticulously confirmed my check-in details and even provided directions to the hotel. The room itself was also excellent. The toilet and bathing area were separate, and the view from the window was fantastic, with a clear sight of the sea. On the 10th floor, there's a public bath where you can unwind and soak, while the 14th floor offers a scenic foot bath. The location couldn't be better, right at Odawara Station, with plenty of dining and shopping options just steps away. Being a smaller, less crowded city, it's absolutely ideal for a relaxing getaway.

Everything was great (great location, very friendly and courteous staff, delicious food, perfect baths), except for a little confusion about dinner time. The voucher said one time, but the manager gave us a different time, 2 hours later, and after that we got a call saying we were late. But they called on time, we made it to dinner))

This hotel offers beautiful scenery and a tranquil environment, a true oasis amidst the bustling city. While transportation isn't the most convenient, the hotel service is excellent. Typically, Hakone hotels provide shuttle service from Hakone-Yumoto Station, but the Prince Hotel also offers pickup from Odawara Station. The hotel runs a shuttle to Hakone's main bus hub, and there's a bus stop right outside, though both have limited operating hours. It's best suited for guests who don't mind walking. It's a half-hour walk from the hotel to the famous Hakone floating torii gate, and another 7-8 minutes from there to the bus stop for ascending Hakone and the cruise ship pier. The scenery along the way is stunning, with lush green mountains, sparkling water, and fresh air.

Great location, only 3 minutes from the train station. There are supermarkets and restaurants nearby. The hotel is the low budget part of the hotel opposite. However, you can use the onsen and the facilities of the other part of the hotel for free. The Onsen is a bit small, but nicely designed and wasn't too crowded. The service is really nice and helpful. The room was really small, but sufficient for one night. The air conditioning is unfortunately directly above the bed and the bathroom is really extremely small. There was some mold visible in the bathroom, otherwise it was very clean. The price was very low. I can only recommend the hotel.

Hakone has always been a place my family and I wanted to visit. Our first attempt in Spring Festival 2020 was cancelled due to the pandemic. The second time, in Summer 2024, a heavy downpour stopped us at the foot of the mountain. This time, we finally made it! I emailed the hotel in advance to book the shuttle, and it was seamless! The hotel is spacious, the hot spring is very relaxing, and the dinner buffet offers a wide variety of dishes. The hotel's location in Hakone is also quite convenient. We had a very pleasant stay.

This charming inn is a hidden gem nestled in the forest, just a stone's throw from the Hakone Garasu no Mori Museum. Surrounded by nature, it was a true luxury to experience both the peaceful ambiance at night and the refreshing morning views. I arrived a bit late and unfortunately missed the welcome drink, but it sounds like guests who check in earlier can enjoy it. A thoughtful touch was the complimentary coffee and tea available for guests at the cafe, perfect for a little break. The hot springs were wonderfully relaxing, and the in-room amenities were all thoughtfully chosen and stylish. Every small detail made me feel incredibly glad I chose this place, ensuring a truly relaxing stay. The breakfast buffet was absolutely captivating, with so many delicious options it was hard to choose! There was an impressive array of dishes, many of which aren't typically found in everyday meals, making it easy to overindulge. It definitely set a happy tone for the whole day. From my room window, I had a beautiful view of the autumn leaves, which were absolutely stunning. I'd love to visit again in autumn to enjoy the seasonal scenery.
