Hotels near Kanazashi Wood Craft, Hakone

Very beautiful place and had buses going directly to it. Gave free admission to the onsen opposite with free rental of robes and swimwear as well. Very nice stay in general. However staff was quite cold. They didn't even have a shoe dehumidifier like other budget hotels, which was surprising given its price point. The free buffet food was actually one of the worst tasting food I've ever had in the whole Japan. So I guess it depends on what you prioritise.

The Japanese style room is so spacious and user-friendly. Looking out from the room, the treeline is so Zen. You can get free ice creams from the lobby, as well as tea, beer and coffee. Excellent services.

This hotel is a historic property set in an iconic setting. We stayed in the Forest Section which features large, comfortable rooms that were a little dark, the bathroom lighting could be improved. Here is my issue. We arrived around 1:15 and we’re told that we could check in at 3:00. We had lunch in their cafe ( 50$) and asked again about an hour later if we could have early access. The very polite desk clerk replied “ Yes, for $70 dollars “. Astounded , I countered that we were departing early 2 days later, and he reduced the amount to $35. Now here is where communication becomes an issue: I continued the “are you kidding me?” and he kept bowing. I thought the issue was settled. That night and the next we ate at their lovely restaurants, French and the Cascade. Food and service was superb. With wine we spent about $900. Check out was early, and my husband didn’t really examine the bill. When we were back in our free early access room in Tokyo I noticed the $35 charge. I contacted the hotel’s customer service and they confirmed the charge. So, what about customer hospitality? I have NEVER been charged an early access fee for an hour. They have been times when we patiently waited for a room to be readied, and never demanded a rebate. It is all part of the guest/host agreement, I think this is probably a corporate decision by the Fujiya Group. Rethink your mission, guys, make guests feel wanted!

I visited for a walk in the morning at the location adjacent to Hakone Shrine. Lots of green. A promenade full of flowers. A promenade on the shore of the lake. You can see Mt. Fuji beautifully, and you can also see pirate ships passing through Lake Ashino. The silence as if time had stopped. The chirping of small birds is comfortable. I was surprised to stay at a resort where the speaker was wired, but I don't need such a small work here. Hotel to enjoy hotel stay. The customer feels like a repeater is quite, a little elegant and noisy, old, gentlemen, ladies 々. It's not a place for noisy young people to go. The food was a long-established hotel, so I chose Western food. There were many reviews that Japanese food was good, but because it is a hotel, the food is elegant and a little on a large plate. Is delicious. I wonder if it's not enough, but it's enough. Upgrade of main dishes that are common in cheap hotels these days. It was also here. The course was changed to Hoho meat grilled Wagyu beef steak and brand beef steak. The chef served hoho meat, so I didn't change it, but it was an elaborate grill, but after all, hoho meat was hoho meat. I should have upgraded. It's a simple story, but I think the main dish is Japanese beef steak without discounting. 〇〇 Great deal at sale! I will stay there because the guide will come from the travel site, but I feel that every hotel is having a hard time with the main. Then, I wish I had stopped selling. The ladies I met in the hall were highly praised for Japanese food. Next time, if I can come to the flowering season, I would like to try a Japanese restaurant.

I was seeking a ryokan with private onsens and the willingness to accommodate my primarily vegetarian dietary habits. I chose Hakone Gora Byakudan and was extremely pleased in every single way. We were a little on the early side (around 2:00 in the afternoon) when we asked someone at an information desk by Gora Station to please call the ryokan and ask if they could pick us up (as we had been instructed). Within 5 minutes we were picked up and brought to the beautiful ryokan, removing our shoes upon entry. The room was fantastic. We were in ”hako”, just off the lobby. The space was perfect! And we loved the privacy of the onsen. Both dinner and breakfast were served in a small private dining room. They indeed served me a vegetarian meal with many courses. My husband had some meat or fish in his meal and they provided us each with separate printed out menus. It was truly fantastic!

Great hotel located near Gora station. It was a lovely stay in a very traditional Japanese hotel. The highest score for me goes to the staff who are very friendly and helpful. I stayed an extra night in a different booking and did not need to check in again. Very efficient reception. They were also very accommodating to my friend who is vegetarian. The hotel needs some modernisation but that is part of the charm. Great place and lovely holiday in Hakone.

The hotel is very close to Gora Station. It takes only 4 minutes to walk to the hotel. The staff's service attitude is very good. When we walked to the hotel, they were already waiting for us on the ramp. We were greeted with snacks and drinks when we entered the hotel, so we didn't have to queue to check in. Check out, as soon as you sit down, you will be greeted. I booked 1 hotel room and 2 meals. I chose Japanese food for dinner and Western food for breakfast. Both meals were of a very high standard. The view of Hakone Mountain from the breakfast was very comfortable. Originally I thought about traveling around Hakone on the first day, but ended up spending the whole day in the hotel. The hotel environment is so comfortable. You can hear the sound of running water on the terrace. I will definitely book 2 nights next time.

　I stayed on January ５ day as last year. The room is a low-rise room as usual. The lower floors can see the moon, stars and the rising sun through the leaves of the garden tree 々. The upper floors are not disturbed by the trees 々 and you can enjoy the surrounding mountains 々 landscape. ４ I have never stayed above the floor, but I think the scenery on the lower floors in winter is lonely and Qing 々. I don't think I'll come again if my first stay was the mountain side room I saw on YouTube. After spring, it has a hot spring inn in the forest in the leaves of the tree 々, and it has a different taste, but I like winter. This time, when I changed the iPhone to a new model, I was able to take a good picture of the garden and the stars at night. Overall, I am satisfied with the same wonderfulness. If I dare to say something I was interested in, I take pictures of the meal every time, but the tea confectionery at the reception was the same as last year (of course I am satisfied). I requested the size of the clothes in the building in advance and prepared it. Is not small, and last year there was nothing to wear on the clothes in the hall like a vest (I don't know what to say) (because it looks like a farmer?), The maximum size of the clothes I bought at the shop last year is pink-colored building I bought an inner dress, but the inner dress prepared in the room was the same white gray? (Since it was the same color last year, it may be the same color even if you make a reservation for a man and woman. Or is there a number depending on the size?) The same was true when I stayed at another hotel in Hakone Yumoto at the end of the year, but the dinner dishes were served. , From last year, I felt that it was small or the amount was small. Compared to the photos when I stayed last year, I really get worried. I was worried that the food would be smaller as the room rate was rising from last year. The good thing was that the staff at various places were as good as ever. There were many non-al drinks beside the elevator. There was a low evaluation on SNS in advance, but it is true that there are customers, but there are staff who are dissatisfied with colleagues in a low voice, or the number of staff at the restaurant is narrowed. Is it , I couldn't come immediately after pressing the doorbell button, but it was acceptable to me. I've never seen it like I was on SNS here. I wanted to use it in the future. Finally, I bought it here last year, but I can't wear it because it seems to be ”stealed” at the same Kyoritsu resort, but I used it at other hotels and was popular with foreign tourists. It is often used when staying at other hot spring inns. I would like you to always have various sizes of colors. The next time I stay, I would like to buy it if there is a color for overseas souvenirs.

Hotel Indigo was recommended to us by a co-worker. She raved about how much she enjoy her stay, so we decided to visit for our Anniversary. We loved everything about this hotel from check in to check out, everything was amazing. The hotel staff always made us feel welcome, by greeting us (by name most of the time) whenever we were out and about in the hotel. Hannah checked us in. She was nice and provided us with information about the area. We had the breakfast included in our stay. The restaurant manager Koji-san was awesome. While not a picky eater, I do like my eggs cooked a certain way...lol.. On the first day of breakfast, my eggs were not cooked to my liking. When my plate was taken, Koji-san noticed that I did not eat my eggs. He immediately came to our table and inquired about the eggs. I told him that they were too soft for me. He apologized and asked if I had enough to eat and said that he would like to try again the next morning. I thought this was such a kind gesture. For the next 4 days, my eggs were cooked exactly how I like them. We had dinner at the hotel restaurant. It is a bit pricey, but the chef is very good. The salmon and asparagus were my favorites. Our anniversary was on the 22nd and we received a call from the front desk asking if they could bring us a gift for our anniversary. They brought us an assortment of sweet treats, which we enjoyed with a cup of tea. Very sweet. Our room was spacious, clean with the perfect temperature. The television was the largest that I have seen a Japanese hotel. Our room was on the riverside with a private outdoor onsen. While relaxing in the onsen, you can hear the calming sounds of the river. There is also a foot soak in the garden area. it was a bit to cold outside for me, so I didn't get to enjoy it on this stay. The hotel was cleaned thoroughly and safety precautions were taken. All of staff wore masks and for breakfast, we were provided with gloves to get continental items from the buffet. All tables were wiped down immediately after a party left and were socially distanced. The hotel is in close proximity to just about everything. During our 5 day stay, we visited The Open Air Museum, the Venetian Glass Garden, Gora Park, and The Red Gate of Peace. We will definitely be returning and look forward to our next stay in the Spring.

Pleasantly surprised by the large room we got, with an enclosed balcony overlooking the lush green valley. Spacious bathroom. Clean room. Excellent onsite onsen - enjoyed the experience. Lovely dining areas and sushi restaurant. Free pickup from Odawara Shinkansen station (45 min ride to hotel). Hotel offers free dropoff and pickup to local train station so you can comfortably take the cable car to Lake Ashi. Highly recommend the cable car, boat across Lake Ashi and Hakone's open air museum.
