Ashigarashimo District Hotels with Gym

Excellent service! It was very crowded at check in but the friendly staff greeted us and sat us down at sofa, also directed us to welcome drinks and snacks. It was a bit hard to find driving to the hotel after sunset as it was tugged away in a small street. 5 minutes drive from Gora station, 7 min to Open Air Museum, and 15 min to 大涌谷 volcanic steam vent. The in room private onsen was great!! Public bath was a little disappointing, it’s quite small and co-ed, usage so we need to wear swim suits which felt a little awkward.

1. Convenient transportation: 4/5 By bus: get off in front of the 131 hotel, which is closer than the 130 Miyanoshita Onsen Station (the hotel is on a slope on the road, and there is a turn in front of the hotel to go uphill, so you don’t need to drag your luggage uphill at Miyanoshita Onsen Station) By tram: get off at Miyanoshita OH54 and walk for 5 minutes, but the tram station is also on a slope above the road, so it’s a bit difficult to pull the suitcase There are Lawson and 711 nearby, and it’s also very convenient to buy things 2. Hotel facilities: 4.5/5 Overall, it’s very good, and the amenities are all the standards of regular 5-star hotels, so I won’t say much. The furniture is American style and the design is very unique. If you have time at night, you can go to the hotel B1 History Museum to see the hotel’s history, including the hotel’s early development history, managers of successive generations, and the process of earthquake reconstruction, etc. The hotel should be the first hotel in Hakone to receive Western tourists. Many Western celebrities, politicians, and scientists have stayed in the hotel in history. The hotel itself is also a microcosm and witness of Japan’s history of opening up to the outside world. 3. Hot spring: On the top floor, the space is large and the facilities are good. Because we went there in winter, there were not many people, and it was basically a private hot spring. After playing all day, it was very comfortable to soak in a hot spring at night to relieve the cold and fatigue. Overall: Choosing this hotel is definitely not only about the facilities and location, but also about its cultural atmosphere. The garden behind the hotel is very large, and it may be more beautiful in summer. Unfortunately, we went there in winter and the flowers were not in bloom. There is also a hiking trail to Mount Asama. If you have time, you can walk around more and feel the cultural atmosphere here

My favorite hotel on this trip to Japan, one night stay and two meals, dinner is good, breakfast is average but definitely filling. The hotel is on the mountain, with everything you need, a public bath, free massage chairs, a comic reading room, a game room, a fitness room, and a lounge. My daughter likes this hotel very much, the family room for 3 people is really big, with tatami for 8 people to sleep.

The independent hot spring in the room is very pleasant. It is hidden in a bamboo forest. I also recommend the breakfast and dinner at the hotel. If you stay, be sure to include double meals. The dishes will be changed according to the check-in date.

The hotel is located in Sengokuhara, in the middle of a mountain. If you live on a high floor, you can see Mount Fuji when the weather is good. The room and the interior environment of the hotel can only be said to be acceptable, and it is still not as good as some domestic gold diamond level hotels. Service It was raining when we arrived. There were two staff members who could speak Chinese. The whole check-in process was perfect. We booked two meals. The dinner was exquisite and acceptable. We ordered a cup of coffee for after-meal drinks. The beans were too bad. I hope this can be improved. Breakfast was a bit careless. The French dinner rolls were bad. The desserts were placed for too long after the meal. The simple products should be completed about 5 minutes in advance. Bad reviews. There was no menu for breakfast. The ordering was too monotonous. I was forced to eat a few prepared dishes. There was no small range of choices. It was careless and seriously bad reviews. From breakfast to check-out, the whole process felt that there was no care. It was seriously mismatched for a gold diamond hotel.

We enjoyed the rather spacious room and the view of rolling hills. With large beds and a tatami room, it felt rather luxurious. The entire place has an 80s vibe, but good thing we liked the nostalgia it brought for us. The room was quick clean too. Only that the outside balcony and windows had a few rather large spiders and spider webs. Good thing we don't have arachnophobia. They have two locations for their onsens at different timings. So that needed some getting used to. The onsens themselves are decent enough. Getting to the place was a little tricky as we didn't know what was the best bus to hop onto. We hopped onto the bus that Google Maps indicated was the most direct, only to realise as we were boarding that that bus was not covered under the Hakone Free Pass. On hindsight, to utilise the Hakone Free Pass, one should take the bus to Yunessen, the hotel next door and walk a short distance uphill. For the price we thought it was quite worth it, especially compared to some of the other hotels nearby.

It was a great experience. I booked both the Flower Garden and the White Sandalwood. Personally, I don’t think the White Sandalwood is as good as the Flower Garden. Of course, I have to book the one with a private hot spring on the first floor. But in fact, I think the essence of Japanese hot springs is not the hot spring in the room, but this I didn't have a chance to go to the public bath for the first time. Of course the price is here...

It's a tatami room. The room is very big. After checking in, the relevant staff will introduce the hotel facilities. We will also help arrange hot spring bath time However, the location is inconvenient for people who don’t drive.
