Yutorelo-an in Hakone

Lovely staff, extremely clean hotel, room was massive!!!! So many amenities in the room!!!!!!! Well recommended

This time we were driving, and the hotel is located on a slope, which didn't really affect us. There's a bit of a walk to find food nearby. For travelers without a car, I'd recommend buying food before checking in, as you can cook your own meals here.

The hotel's location is excellent, just about 200 meters from the left exit of Gora Station. However, the hotel signs aren't very clear, and we had to look for a while before we were sure we'd found it. After entering, we had to wait quite a bit before someone came to assist us, which was a bit inconvenient. The room was spacious, but the hot spring bath wasn't very big. Overall, it's still worth recommending for a one-night stay, especially since the price isn't expensive.

Highly recommended

My child really loved it. The room was spacious enough, and our family of three had a very comfortable stay.

It's a bit old, but the location is great, so it was a good value compared to other places.

First, a heads-up to anyone visiting this hotel: it's located in the Hakone mountains. If you're not driving, please, please be very careful not to get off the train in the wrong direction!

We came down from Owakudani by train and got off at Naka-Gora. Both train doors opened when it arrived, and we exited through the left door. Little did we know, we were in for a world of trouble – I won't go into the dramatic details. After quite an adventure, we finally reached the hotel only to find out that if we had exited from the right side, it would have been just a few minutes' walk away. So, a word of caution: if you're coming down by train from the Owakudani direction, always exit on the right side!

This was the most expensive hotel we booked during our trip to Japan. There were almost no shops nearby. We had pre-ordered dinner, which was a bit like sukiyaki. The hotel prepared all the washed ingredients and utensils for us. After dinner, we cleaned everything and placed it in a large basket, which we left outside our room door the next morning. Dinner was pretty good!

However, to buy breakfast for the next day, we spent over half an hour walking up and down hills just to find a convenience store. I regretted not having bought breakfast in Hakone beforehand.

The hot springs are separate for men and women. It gets dark early in the evening, so we couldn't see the scenery outside the onsen. The next morning, we saw the green landscape outside the window.

The Japanese-style tatami room could accommodate six people and even had a kitchen. It was very spacious for the three of us.

The hallway of our room offered beautiful mountain views, perfect for watching the sunrise. The view from inside the room was also very nice.

The hotel is close to Gora Park, about a ten-minute walk, and not far from the Hakone Museum of Art.

Staff is helpful and the location is excellent which only takes one minute walking from the Naka Gora station. So lucky to watch the fireworks display at hotel.

Very nice walk up to the hotel’ greatly enjoy being in nature. So quiet and peaceful. Mountains in my view. A well priced hotel in a very expensive area. Just that the onsen is small !! However this hotel is comfortable for a family of 5
