I absolutely loved the private hot tub on the balcony and the traditional kaiseki dinner! The breakfast buffet was also out of this world. I'd definitely come back again!

The large room had a beautiful garden view, but the restaurant choices were limited.

Would be happy to recommend for shopping

Charming hotel, beautiful garden, with a delightful breakfast buffet featuring an extensive spread that is perfect to start your day before exploring nearby attractions and enjoying free shuttle service from Gora station to reach this lovely hotel easily.

Everything was delightful.

easy access to fantastic parks and art museums nearby

During my stay, I loved that I was just a short walk away from the stunning Okada Museum of Art and the relaxing Hakone Gora Park, both of which were perfect for my weekend strolls through nature and art. The beautiful grotto view from the onsen was also a nice touch that added to the overall charm of the experience as I relaxed after a day of exploring the area on foot.

Amazing onsen experience!

We stayed 1 night and it was super cozy! The onsen was beautiful, and the room had a stunning view. Loved soaking in the outdoor bath on the balcony. Only bummer was the food, it was kinda bland. Wish I could've stayed longer to really enjoy it all!

A Memorable Onsen Retreat

The on-site dining experience featured an exceptional breakfast buffet that catered to all tastes, with a standout porridge. Enjoy the serene public onsen for a truly relaxing experience. Tip, Pre-book your taxi to avoid last-minute stress when heading to the train station for Tokyo.

The serene gardens and beautifully designed spaces made wandering easy and enjoyable, even for my grandma's walker. The views were breathtaking, and the combination of modern and traditional Japanese decor was simply delightful.

More accessible seating in communal areas.

stay at hakone kowakien for a memorable experience with free shuttle services making arrival a breeze

Every detail impressed us, especially the stunning onsen views.

The room had stunning views and a lovely private onsen. The swinging egg chair on the balcony was a cozy touch! I really enjoyed both the outdoor baths and the beautiful gardens during my stay. The only downside was that breakfast could have had a better selection.

We stayed in a Superior Room with an open-air bath, and it was pretty spacious and comfortable. The views from our room were beautiful, especially with the private onsen. The setup was great, with both Western and Japanese-style sleeping areas. The ambiance was nice, and it felt luxurious but still cozy. Definitely a nice touch for our stay! Just wish the wifi worked better. it was only in the lobby.

My stay at Hakone Kowakien Hotel was truly unforgettable! The onsen experience was a gem, and having a private open-air bath in the room was pure bliss. The breakfast buffet offered a fantastic variety of options, catering to both Japanese and Western tastes.

WiFi only available in the lobby.

The onsen experience was a gem, and having a private onsen bath in the room was pure bliss! The outdoor bath and footbath by the lobby were highlights. Plus, the breakfast had plenty of options, catering to various dietary needs.
