Hisanoha Chic Bite🥢

Dreaming of a Hakone retreat with soothing hot springs and mouth-watering meals? 🍤 Kozuka Hisanoha and hakone elegance are top picks to recharge. Both sit in peaceful forest surroundings—picture yourself unwinding in an onsen after snapping shots of your shrimp feast, with sunlight spilling over Hakone’s lush hills.

Kozuka Hisanoha (1285-356 Sengokuhara, Hakone-Machi)
Pros: Spacious, spotless rooms featuring tatami mats deliver classic comfort. The tranquil sulfur hot spring is cozy, private, and perfect for relaxing after exploring art museums nearby. Staff are warm and attentive, using translation apps to ensure everyone feels welcome. Cons: The hotel’s location is quiet, but signage can be tricky at night and the uphill walk is a trek—pack comfy shoes. The onsen is compact, and late arrivals may find lighting sparse.

hakone elegance (103-401 Motohakone, Ashigarashimo District)
Pros: Sulfur-rich springs come with stunning Lake Ashi views—don’t miss the private bath for an Instagram-ready soak! Friendly hosts, local cuisine, and a family-run vibe make meals a definite highlight. Cons: Amenities like shampoo and pajamas require a request, and a couple of rooms saw maintenance hiccups, so ask ahead. The hotel sits uphill and has clear lake access but can be a challenge for those with heavy bags.

Insider Tip: For your food photo, grab a table by the window when sunlight is pouring in for that perfect shrimp shot—with Hakone’s green backdrop, it’s a post that pops! Book via trip.com to score great deals and options.

Planning ahead? Try an art museum stop, lakeside walk, then a sunset soak—Hakone is heaven for hot spring lovers and foodies alike.
