Seaview Hotels in Ashigarashimo District

"The Showa-era architecture made me feel like I traveled back in time. The garden is quite large, but it was a bit cold in March, so there wasn't much greenery to see. However, the crisp air still allowed me to imagine the beauty of spring flowers and autumn moons. I booked the half-board plan, and the meals were decent but not spectacular. What I found most surprising was that such a traditional Japanese meal was served with disposable chopsticks. I'd suggest the establishment pay attention to these small details, as the other services were excellent."

"I first stayed at this hotel seven years ago and absolutely loved the lush green golf course and the peaceful comfort of the open-air rotenburo. I chose to stay here again this time, despite being well aware of the inconvenient transportation. I decided to make a compromise; I took a taxi for check-in and arranged a private car for check-out, so I didn't have to rely on the hotel's somewhat limited transportation options, especially since their shuttle only goes to a particular bus stop. Upon checking in, I was delighted to find that the overall facilities hadn't been scaled back. The courtyard was also filled with numerous lilies, their subtle fragrance perfuming the air. Our butler, Yamaki, spoke good English and was very pleasant. Although she was a newcomer with only a year of experience, she made us feel incredibly welcome and at ease. This time, in addition to the yukata provided in the room, I also rented a beautiful patterned one, which was very similar to the one I wore at Sensoji Temple – that made me really happy! Last time, we had both breakfast and dinner at the hotel, but my child wasn't particularly fond of the dinner, so this time we only opted for breakfast. The breakfast spread was remarkably similar to what it was seven years ago, and it still maintained that wonderful sense of occasion."

"The hotel is owned by the same group as Hakone Gora Shirotan Ryokan. As for Hakone Gora Shirotan Ryokan, it ranks first among hot spring hotels. However, this hotel is very remote and is basically difficult to reach if you are not traveling by car. The characteristics of the hotel are the same as those of Shirotan Inn. Very similar, the public space is smaller overall, there is no lobby restaurant, the public hot spring is very small, the catering is also divided into several centralized rooms according to the guest areas of different rooms, the hotel has almost no recreational facilities, the main focus is tranquility, beauty and health."
