Shinanoki Ichinoyu

A traditional Japanese experience. Hot tub on balcony was amazing. Note that the only option for a shower is also outside on the private balcony. Food was very good and room was large and comfortable for 2 of us.

Room was clean. Private onsen was amazing. Traditional Japanese Sukiyaki Dinner(+all you can drink) and traditional breakfast was good. Two bus stops right out in front of the property to get back to central Hakone was extremely convenient. Close to the Glass Museum, but not a ton of other things around. Not a ton of entertainment options on the tv or in room. Room can be pricey(400+ CAD), but with a private onsen, two meals included and quite a large space with a Zen Garden, it is somewhat fairly priced.

Loved the private "outdoor" bath. ♨️Room was spacious meals and staff were great.

The facility is located on one of the main bus route and can be accessed via T bus from Hakone Yumoto main station. Hotel is overall very poorly maintained with strong moldy smell. We arrive at 3pm for check in and assigned to the room right next to main road(ambulance sound every few hour) and sewage which gives very strong smell during our stay. We request to change room but they say fully booked and no room to change. The room itself only charm point is the open air hot spring. Other than that is very old and not well maintained. It has a moldy smell and again the smell of sewage too strong even inside of the room. Our stay included dinner and breakfast. A lot of local varieties but not very tasty. If you don’t eat meat, you don’t have much choices to fill your stomach. Check out is at 10am which is quite early but I guess that’s normal for old hot spring hotel. Overall I don’t expect this after paying $440 cad dollar. Won’t book again.
