“Restful retreat in a beautiful setting”

The retreat is away from the busy crowds elsewhere in this resort. Room was secluded in a forest setting. All staff very helpful especially Arjun, who hails from Nepal, and who made sure we got to see the local attractions that we wanted to see. This was our most expensive accommodation in Japan, but we felt it was worth it.

“Loved the place”

We stayed 2 nights at villa 6. It was beautiful! The fireplace was definitely a nice touch. Our room came with half board - dinner and breakfast.

We stayed 2 nights at villa 6. It was beautiful! The fireplace was definitely a nice touch. Our room came with half board - dinner and breakfast. We did the first dinner at the Japanese restaurant - food was good and the sake list was better. Sake is not included in the room rate but it was not expensive. Our second dinner was at the French restaurant. We were not fans of the food, which was mediocre. Wine was good though. Overall I hope the culinary team improves over time. The property has a lot of potential. We ll be back!

“Gorgeous. Come in November.”

If you want your stay in Hakone to look like a romantic Japanese travel ad, then this is the place for you.

If you want your stay in Hakone to look like a romantic Japanese travel ad, then this is the place for you. The villas are all different so I can only speak to villa 6, but it was right out of one of those glossy photo books you pick up at Kinokuniya. There is a wood-burning fire stove, a Bluetooth sound system, a high slanted ceiling over the bed with a cover that can be remotely controlled. The toilet and bathroom are up the stairs near the bathtub and shower room, which are picturesque and then lead to the small but cozy private outdoor onsen, shrouded by trees. I stayed in November and the foliage was gorgeous. On the grounds is a cafe/lounge and a restaurant. Or you can choose a nearby eatery and the staff will drive you there and pick you up afterwards in their van. The staff aren’t completely fluent in English but are very eager to be helpful and as polished and professional as befits a nice Japanese resort. If you’re looking to get away from Tokyo for a day or two or three, I highly recommend this lovely retreat. It’s possible to make some truly beautiful memories here.

“Struttura Top ma la furbizia non paga!”

La struttura è facilmente raggiungibile tramite bus se si arriva sia da Gotemba o Odawara, la fermata dista appena 30 metri dalla zona pick up del resort.

La struttura è facilmente raggiungibile tramite bus se si arriva sia da Gotemba o Odawara, la fermata dista appena 30 metri dalla zona pick up del resort. L’accoglienza è stata fantastica e la receptionist è stata molto attenta a spiegare tutto nei minimi dettagli. La villetta con l’onsen privato è qualcosa di fantastico! Tutto perfetto se non fosse per la politica “Furba” che hanno riguardo la cena. Ovviamente la struttura è consapevole che è impossibile cenare all’esterno dato che non ci sono altri ristoranti in zona, quindi viene adottata una politica molto restirittiva sul cibo dove ti obbligano a mangiare solo i “course menu” o giapponese ( 120€ circa a perosna) o quello francese (80€ circa a persona). Abbiamo chiesto se si potesse ordinare “a la carte” data la presenza sul menu di questa opzione ma la risposta è stata negativa. Tale comportamento, sintetizzando, ci è risultato un po’ come : Se non vuoi restare senza mangiare o paghi o vai a letto.
