This trip to Hakone, a popular hot spring destination, made the Yumoto Fujiya Hotel the most thoughtful and practical choice. The essence of Hakone is to relax and unwind, and choosing a hotel near Hakone-Yumoto Station greatly enhances your trip's comfort! Luggage is easily accessible in minutes, and with bus stops, convenience stores, and food courts all nearby, travel fatigue is a breeze.
Yumoto Fujiya Hotel
The hotel's location is incredibly convenient; just a short walk across a red bridge from the station, you won't get lost. There's a mountain bus stop just around the corner, offering easy access to Ōwakudani, Gora, Lake Ashi, the Open-Air Museum, the Hakone Pirate Ship, Moto-Hakone Port, Hakone Shrine, and Odawara Castle. The hotel is also surrounded by unique shops and souvenir stores, ensuring a pleasant stroll through the shopping streets.
The hotel boasts both indoor and outdoor hot springs, which I used every night. The water is incredibly clean. There's also a low-temperature sauna area and, with an additional fee, private onsen, which are incredibly comfortable. With the mountain or river views through the windows, it's truly relaxing mode. After soaking in the hot springs, you can enjoy complimentary drinks in the lounge—super chill!
As for the amenities, some rooms are older but immaculately clean. Some newly renovated rooms have balconies, making watching the sunset a truly relaxing experience. The hotel rooms are spacious, and for a popular area like Hakone, the location is unbeatable.
As for the service, the staff are very friendly and courteous, some even speak Chinese, making communication effortless. Luggage storage is readily available, and the quick check-in process saves time. The hotel's breakfast is highly recommended, with delicious options including Japanese, Western, and even Chinese. There are also many restaurants, perfect for those who don't want to eat out.
Tip: Book a private onsen; it's worth the price for solo travelers, couples, or families. There are also many local restaurants nearby, and you can even enjoy Hakone's stunning nightscape out for a relaxing evening out before returning to the hotel for a hot spring soak.
Booking Tips: Rooms go up quickly during the holiday season, so it's recommended to book online early. It's also worthwhile to choose a room with a mountain or river view. Request a high floor for quieter rooms. Remember to bring a bag that's easy to carry in and out of Hakone, as transportation in the city is mostly bus-based, so keep your luggage light.
Hakone hotels are incredibly popular. If you want to enjoy authentic hot springs and authentic local cuisine without the hassle of traveling, Yumoto Fujiya Hotel is a top choice. #HakoneOnsen #KantoHotelRecommended #StationAccommodations #HakoneFujiyaHotel
