Really liked: - Close to hiking spots - The Onsens were clean and beautiful - The Welcome crew and even the staff when we were departing gave exceptional service - The PJs and robe were so convenient and beautiful to wear. - In-room massage chair was a plus - The entire staff during our stay was phenomenal and we felt like royalty. - Some of breakfast items in the buffet were overcooked - Switching shoes before and after using the restrooms were an inconvenience - The shuttle service (hours) was very inconvenient since our train arrived right before the driver took a lunch break Overall, it was an amazing hotel!! Thank you for the experience.

Hakone Kowakien Ten-yu is a place to go to make full use of the facility. This is an excellent resort, 5 Stars definitely. The staff members were impeccable. They went the extra mile to meet our needs. The rooms were super. All of our rooms were large with an onsen tub in the balcony with the a great view. Nevertheless, a dip in the main onsen was amazing. There was also a heated pool that was great for the kids. A couple things to keep in mind is that this resort is deep in the mountains with limited transportation and eateries. We only had breakfast at the resort, which was first rate. We wished we had made reservation for dinners. As for transportation, check the bus schedule before hand. Also, be sure to make reservations for taxi before hand too. We truly had a relaxing, enjoyable stay.

Pre-arranged closer to buffet table sitting location (one of my older family member need walking assistant) was not given util I refuse to accept, they finally provided a table closer to the food area with an attitude! Otherwise, the this hotel is great especially with both in-room and public Onsen. They also treat every hotel guest with unlimited ice cream from their in house vending machine.

A very nice resort property with an outstanding staff. The grounds and lobby area are beautiful. In-room amenities are adequate but nothing special. Rooms and hallways are starting to show some wear—dinged up woodwork and marks on the walls from wayward luggage carts. Would be very easy for management to tend to this and improve the overall impression of the property. Details matter! Front desk, housekeeping and dining room staff were all friendly, helpful and very good at making you feel welcome.

They offer welcome drinks in the lobby from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM, along with free ice cream all day long. Both the lobby and rooms boast stunning views of the mountains. Additionally, there are beautifully designed open-air public onsens, which I truly enjoyed. They offer a free shuttle every 20 minutes from the hotel to Gora Station and vice versa, which is very convenient. If you're a first-time visitor arriving by public transportation, it's easy to take the hotel shuttle bus from Gora Station.
