Hakone Travel Forum

Hi, I have a few questions with regards to this hotel and its accessibility.

How do I get there from Shinjuku Station (assuming I'll take the Odakyu Railway)?
How do I get to the main natural attractions from the hotel (eg. ropeway, sightseeing ship, etc.)?
Does the hotel provide soap, shampoo, towels, toothpaste, toothbrush?
Are the hotel's onsen located on the premises or do I need to go to Yunnesan for hot springs?

Thanks.

According to the website you need to take your own towels and toiletries. There does not seem to be any onsen on the premises only a simple comunal bath.

It also suggests that you find your way to Yumoto Station and take the Izu Hakone Bus to Verde no Mori.

Hi

Does that mean I need to bring my own towels, soap and shampoo? It is very odd that even these basic things are not provided in a Japanese inn...

I agree that it is odd especially in Japan. Usually all of those things are provided. Most public baths have shampoo and liquid soap as well.
The only reason that I can come up with is that the Hakone Pansion is about half the price of most Japanese Inns in my experience.

Have you stayed at this hotel before? I'd like first hand experiences....

Sorry, no I haven't. The information which I have given is from the webpage which I posted in my first reply.

I hope everything turns out good for you on your trip.

I'll tell you when I get back from Japan in June.
