箱根仙石原の宿 よいな

Private and cozy

Very clean, modern interiors, plenty of amenities, and an amazing garden for a relaxing stay.

N/A

Feels like in a private detached house except there is someone living on top of us.

Wish the front parking space has a covered carport.

We booked this apartment 5 months before our trip to Japan. The owner requested us to mail copies of our passports and our personal information to him. 2 days before arriving, we received an email with the entry code of the front door and a check-in code. It took us 4 attempts to open the front door. Then there was a tablet to enter our check-in code, the data of both of us, photograph both our passports with the tablet . . . to end up with a “failed” message. We then had to push a call button to get in contact with a call-center who again asked us to give all our data and show our passports. Finally, a code to open the apartment door appeared, which we took care to photograph immediately. As if all this electronic check-in stuff wasn’t enough, the apartment was full of electronics with buttons marked in Japanese. Airco command without temperature indication but only + or - degrees, bathroom with heating/ventilation commands, washing/drying mashine with same Japanese characters. Through a QR code, one is able to get basic information on how to start/stop the washing machine, but not how to set the washing cycle or temperature. The lights in the hallway are equipped with motion detectors to make sure you will be wide awake when you go to the bathroom at night. However, once you open the door, you will be greeted by a toilet that opens it’s lid automatically and lights up with a soft blue light. DO NOT DISCARD your check-in code as you will need to re-enter it at check-out. Be aware that getting to the apartment can only be done with a compact car. The streets are so narrow that one prays not to scratch the car on the rocks and walls protruding on the sides and, even more, not to encounter a car coming the other way. The apartment and garden are very nice. The amenities and welcome drinks and snacks very thoughtfull. Don’t know who the owners are, but they must be nice & gentils robots.

Le Chek-in a été nul…!!! Pénible 🙄🤨 Appartement difficile d’accès routes très étroites…L’appartement est très beau, le jardin et les gâteries mais cela n’a pas été suffisant pour rendre notre séjour agréable.
