I had a wonderful time here, the atmosphere was quiet and felt very traditional. The baths were wonderful, and I enjoyed many long soaks over my two day stay. The food was absolutely incredible, there was so much but I couldn't stop eating it. The variety of dishes and care in which they were presented was a truly memorable experience and I will definitely go back. The location is quite close to Gora station and the cable car, and a short (but steep) walk up the hill to Hakone Park, which was absolutely stunning with fall colors.
