Hakone Hotels with Jacuzzi

"The hotel was located a bit further out from the main attractions. However, with that its also at a quieter area and nice break away from the touristy area. Because of the location, it is also convenient to get to the Gotemba outlet mall. There’s a mountain view outside the balcony. A convenience store and bus stop just right outside the hotel. We felt the breakfast served was underwhelming, and the same food was served on the 2 days we were there. The hotel was spacious and really clean, interior design was beautiful. The hotspring was really nice as well. The staff recommended the Izakaya restaurant called Monta, just few minutes walk from the hotel. The food was really good and open till 12am!"

"It comes with one night and two meals. There is a hot spring in the room. The hot spring is kept at a constant temperature, but unfortunately it is not hot enough. In the end, we went to the public bathhouse to soak in the hot springs. There are outdoor and indoor hot spring pools. Dinner and breakfast are both buffets, but not bad. There are stairs and ramps at the hotel entrance, which is a bit troublesome when moving luggage. Parking spaces are very limited, it is best to check in between 15:30-16:30."

"A good hotel, except that the breakfast time is too early, everything else is good"

"When choosing the Hakone Hotel, I was struggling for a long time and finally chose the ”Shanjiazhuang” without a single comment. I found this place and stayed in a panic, but it didn't disappoint. Next, I will talk about my own ”heart journey”, ”hotel address, ”hotel facilities and check-in experience” of my own reservation, hoping to help everyone who is also entangled. 1. My journey: I knew how expensive hotels are when I came to Japan during the cherry blossom season, so I searched it with the mood of trying it out. The price of hotels near Hakone before and after Qingming Festival is basically around 2500-3700 (for 2 people without tax). Of course the expensive ones will not be mentioned. Then when I looked at the price, I found this ”Shanjiazhuang”. The price was more than 1,700 including tax. I was more tempted at that time. Only then did I find that this hotel did not have a review, and there was no stay. There are few comments, and there are no real pictures in the comments. This made me feel a little bit at a loss. During the time of hesitating and wandering among the alternative hotels, the price of the 3 alternative hotels either rose to 5000 or there was no room type that I wanted to live in, but nothing changed at Shanjiazhuang. Decisively booked with the photos given by the hotel official. 2. Hotel address: The address is easier to find. After getting off at Hakone-Yumoto Station, you can find it by searching for Yamazhuang or Yamagaso in Google Maps, which is quite accurate. Just see the sign of ”Xianjing” in Picture 1 and Picture 2. Figure 3 is the gate of Shanjiazhuang. If you arrive before 3 pm, the door of Shanjiazhuang cannot be opened. At this time, you don’t need to knock on the door or shout, just go to the front desk of the ”Xianjing” hotel next to you to check in and store your luggage ( Their two hotels are one, Shanjiazhuang is a very Japanese-style hotel, and Xianjing is just like a normal hotel). 3. Hotel facilities: After entering the villa, a large cherry blossom tree and Japanese garden view came into view (Picture 5), a very Japanese sense of sight. At this time, the panic in my heart has disappeared, and I entered the room again. The scenes I saw made me feel that the price is worth it, and it feels good to be a guinea pig. When you enter the hotel, there will be a Japanese grandmother who will follow you and introduce you to the usage of various facilities (if there is a little brother who can speak Chinese in the small partner hotel who can not speak Japanese), then I will introduce it as a grandma first: in the hotel There are 3 places for hot springs, one is a family-style private bathing room, which can realize the mixed bathing of the whole family (it should be noted that if there are clogs outside this room, you must not go in. Because someone else is already bathing in it (Picture 9); the other is an indoor large bath, where men and women are bathed separately; the last is an open-air bath (for men and women, the open-air bath is only for women on the day I arrived, while men are It can only be soaked the next day, and the opening hours are from 6 in the morning to 12 in the evening). After entering the room, my little Chinese brother helped us make the bed, while the Japanese grandmother served us 2 cups of freshly brewed tea and introduced us to the usage of various things in the room. I won’t go into details here. Anyway, the various facilities in the room are attentive and considerate that you can't think of. By the way, there is also a bathtub in the room to soak in (Figure 4). 4. Check-in experience: pure Japanese-style service, pure Japanese-style room, full of Japanese-style experience. When we booked the room, the room rate did not include breakfast and dinner, so we added a kaiseki dinner for 2 people (10,800 yen per person). The whole Japanese service is very comfortable, but the taste of kaiseki is Chinese. I really can't eat it. ps. There is a delicious curry restaurant 300 meters downhill from the hotel, you can try it."

"Room is huge for Japanese standard , of course we paid a lot for it. It may have looked good 10 years ago but it is only ok in today’s standard . Bad thing - NO VIEW ! our room with a Huge balcony faced a car park , I guess that’s why they sell this room to Non-Members . Thus the Balcony serve no purpose bcos there’s no view . Parking is easy , including access to ba*****t parking . The public onsen is not bad with 2 outdoor onsen . The in-room private onsen is convenient but there is No View . I specifically requested for room with a view (not car park view) for the price I paid but knowing the Japanese inflexibility, it will be impossible to have a room change after they have allocated one , plus they r running full capacity with inadequate manpower. Breakfast standard is way below par for this level of luxury club standard . I had much better breakfast for room half this price . They should do a lot better in the selection and quality of the breakfast. And we have to queue 30 mins for a table. The service staff was trying to separate us from the member guests with different route , access , etc … again for the price I paid , it is totally not worth it , be it the property , the service , or the quality of the breakfast. Overall - I will not stay here again . There is nothing good at this price that will entice my return."
