Hakonowa Hot Spring Inn

Self-service check-in. No one checked in when I arrived at midnight. I had to enter a password. There was no email and I couldn't make a phone call. Fortunately, a Japanese friend helped me contact him. The room does not have a bathroom. There are 2 public toilets and one bathroom for 3 rooms. Don't choose if you can't accept it. The room door only has a rotating lock, which is quite simple. There is a river next to it, and there is some white noise. It sounds like heavy rain in the middle of the night. It is a bit far from Hakone Yumoto, and it is very difficult to find. It is very hidden. All the food is in the room. I took it to the oven to heat it in the morning. The pumpkin soup is very fragrant. I don't know how it is made. . The bread is average, and the coffee is average. Finally, the room is very Japanese and very beautiful, with green leaves and distant mountains, suitable for taking pictures.

B&B, the location is a bit hard to find! I met an enthusiastic Japanese grandma who took me to find it. The room was very small and there was no private bathroom. You need to make a reservation to use the hot spring. It is a private hot spring. I was very satisfied with this. Check-in is self-service!

Excellent value for money! The Japanese-style room design is beautiful, the tatami is so comfortable, the view outside the window is beautiful, the hot springs are free to soak in, and the environment is good, except for the poor sound insulation. 

It was a self-check-in/self-check-out system without any permanent staff. Nothing could be done with the reservation number (11 digits) sent by Trip.com, and the hotel said that a registration link was sent by email in advance, and guests had to enter/register in advance to receive a QR code and a 6-digit reservation number that could be registered in the hotel system. They say they will accept it and check in. The hotel said they sent a link to ******* message, but I didn't receive a direct email and received nothing from Trip.com other than an 11-digit reservation number, so I had a hard time checking in.

The Japanese-modern space was very nice. The people at the burger shop on the first floor were very friendly and the burgers were delicious. The only thing I found a bit inconvenient was that the toilets were shared.
