Hakone Yumoto Station accommodation from AU$199

This experience was excellent. We wish we had more time at the property! The staff was very kind and helpful. The language differences were not a problem either. The room was cute and the onsens were very well maintained. The dinner buffet was amazing!!!! Way better than what we were expecting. We definitely want to come back! Highly recommend. From the bus stop it is a walk up hill. This was a bit confusing. But once we figured out you could connect through the Hakone Kowakien Yunessun 箱根小涌園ユネッサン it made it much easier getting to the bus stops on the Hakone pass lines. There is also a bus stop for at the hotel on a different bus line. And free hotel shuttle buses to some places.

The hotel setting is absolutely beautiful, the staff extra lovely and helpful, the breakfast and dinner included were fabulous . I chose a room without the lake view and would upgrade next time but pure was still lovely . The onsen was relaxing and cocktails overlooking the footpath great. It was a wonderful adventure from Tokyo to Hakone on the Romancecar train then the switchback train and cable cars to the hotel and good that a direct bus can take you back if time is short . The Hakone free pass is well worth it and includes the Pirate ship cruise , such fun. I would also recommend the amazing luggage delivery service . We had bigger bags sent from Tokyo to our next stop after Hakone being Kyoto, such an efficient system , so travelled light to Hakone but even so , we forwarded our bags from Hakone station to the hotel for a small fee, freeing us up for the journey there and allowing us to enjoy the Open Air Museum hands free . That place is well worth the visit . So lovely . All in all a memorable stay highly recommended .
