Hotels near Shoganji, Hakone

Impressed by the infinity pool design of outdoor onsen on 6/F. Can watch sunrise with stunning view. Need to confirm if can go in for the morning during your stay as they switch gender for every day. It’s not a problem if you are staying for two nights. Food is nice and breakfast buffet has wide variety of dishes. Free shuttle bus is available to Garo station every 30mins.

We used the Fuji Hakone pass and will have to stay one night in the Hakone area. We picked this hotel because it’s right next to the Gora station and later on we also found out that the bus stop to take the bus to Fuji area was just next to the hotel. They helped us to keep our luggage before we went further to Owakudani and Lake Ashi. Food is fantastic. We have dinner and breakfast at the common dining area. They didn’t offer free drinks like other onsen hotels might do. We stayed at the room with outdoor bath and found out later before the trip that the water is not real onsen water but regular water. However, with the location, this is unbeatable.

The hotel is located on a mountain with a quiet environment. The rooms and facilities are very new and clean. There is a self-service drink area in the lobby. There are 2 sets for breakfast and a Western-style dinner. It is surprisingly good and worth a try. The hotel has a swimming pool, which is larger than expected. It is very suitable for a family. There is a shallow water area for children to play. The public hot spring is relatively ordinary. There are hamburger restaurants and barbecue restaurants nearby. The hotel's location is more suitable for people who drive cars, but overall, it is A relaxing hotel.

Highly recommended as a hotel before going to Hakone! Good location! 1. It is close to Odawara Station, very convenient to get in and out! At least one side of the room can see the sea! 2. The shops and restaurants on the station are very convenient! There are also many restaurants to choose from nearby, and the atmosphere is very strong 3. You can visit Odawara Ancient City in about 15 minutes 4. It takes about 20 minutes to walk to the beach Breakfast is OK. There are hot springs to soak in It's just a small problem. Although the hotel is connected to the station, you can't see the sign pointing to the hotel after exiting the station. You need to ask a few people to reach the hotel front desk. But it is still highly recommended

Service: There are two Chinese clerks who can speak Chinese, and the service attitude is very good. There is a pick-up and drop-off service, but it needs to be booked in advance. The pick-up and drop-off range is only to Lake Ashi and the station. Environment: The environment is very good. The Japanese-style room can directly see Lake Ashi, but the way up the mountain is really difficult. If you take the bus, the interval is half an hour. And if you go up by yourself, you need to read the street signs. The road from the bus station to the hotel is If there is no signal, you cannot use navigation. It is more suitable for people who like mountain climbing or adventure. Because it is really high, it is not recommended for those who are afraid of heights to walk by themselves. Hygiene: The living room and room are very clean. There are quilt covers, but you need to pay attention to laying them yourself. If you don't use a quilt cover, you may be charged extra, but after all, it is in the mountains, so there will be some bugs, such as small spiders. Facilities: The hot springs are separated for men and women. There are two pools, both indoors and outdoors. There is no difference. However, if you go outdoors at night, there will be bugs attracted by the lights. There is no bath in the room, it is together with the hot spring, and slippers are required to enter the entrance hall (especially Japanese-style rooms), and there is a beverage machine next to it.

Hotel service facilities are very good, especially the dinner environment, the floor-to-ceiling window is beautiful scenery, the dinner is very exquisite, the chef's menu and the plate are amazing, the toiletries in the room are very high-end, the stay experience is very good

I was able to stay at this hotel at a very reasonable price using the Goto campaign and Kanagawa prefecture discount. Because it was a Saturday night, it was a success with almost full customers. <Good points> ・The taste of dinner was normal, but the number of items was large and I was full. Also, it was nice to have a menu.・The customer service of the front desk and restaurant employees was good.・I was able to use the ice machine and massage machine on the 3rd floor. <Disadvantages> ・I was surprised at the difference between the photo on the website and the actual room. Unlike the photos, it was old, dull, and the scratches on the walls had not been repaired.・The facilities are old, and the extension phone in the room was a dial type, which surprised me.・Do you smoke in the room? It was stinky with the smell of. For this reason, we had to open the windows for about 3 hours to ventilate ourselves. The room was ventilated while the heating was on, but if it was a cold season, I would have liked it to be ventilated in advance.・The wireless WiFi was very slow and could not be used during busy times.・Because of the work schedule of the employees, the meal time was fixed, dinner was early at 18:00 and breakfast was late at 8:00. For this reason, customers ate all at once, so dinner was hectic, and even when we asked the staff, they were slow to respond.

Our room was a moderate twin room on 3/F (facing the podium car park which means no view). The room design was good - overall the room size was small (even in tokyo standard - not any bigger) bathroom was even smaller but still provides the essentials that you need. The hotel is more a business hotel which offers everything that you need (free yakult, ice bars, hot coffee, chocolate, ramen, comics corner, and more), hotspring and footbath. Everything you can name, just go and get them/ experience yourself. I appreciated the fact that the hotel has tried to put everything together in a compact space. There are 3 areas for free car parking, each of which is not big - the nearest car park 1 adjacent to the hotel is always full after 6pm. However, there is still no need to panic as another parking area 2 is just nearby (like 2 min walk). Breakfast was just okay - mostly Japanese with limited western choice. Last entry for breakfast is 9am which is very early, making the restaurant always packed during 8-9am. For the 3 nights spent there, our family of 3 had to sit on bar table for 2 days and queue outside to wait for a table (10 mins) on the last check-out day. The waiting was not a very pleasant experience afterall. During the Christmas holiday, the restaurant has also reached its max capacity and life would have been easier for staff and guests if they could extend the breakfast hours till later like other hotels at 10:30am. We will want to try other hotels in Gotemba next time.

The hardware of the hotel is good, but it is very expensive on the day of watching the fireworks. The price is more than 2,000 per night, but it is not easy to get a room. What I'm speechless about is that the automatic check-in process is so terrible. I spent a full 40 minutes in front of my iPad. The operator didn't understand Chinese or English and couldn't understand. He had to write down his identity information and his domestic address. Everything had to be video-recorded with the operator. Make sure I am myself before I will send you a room password. This is the first time in my life to experience such a stay. There weren't any waiters in the hotel, but luckily it was not easy to get it done in the end.

Free parking, suitable for travelers with self-driving cars, breakfast is average. There is still some distance from Mount Fuji. The room does not face Mount Fuji. The hotel does not seem to provide a top floor for guests to view? There are public baths for bathing.
