Hotel Nanpuso

Cadre splendide

This was the big splurge on our trip to Japan and it didn’t disappoint. The hotel is set amidst the Hakone Mountain system and is such a nice refresh/reset between Tokyo and Kyoto. We booked a room for one night with a private onsen and had the Kaiseki dinner and buffet breakfast included. The dinner, which was served in our room, was possibly the best meal we had in Japan. There were so many choices at breakfast it was almost overwhelming. We booked the private onsen because we weren’t sure how comfortable we would be with the public baths - but in the end we were fine with them. The public onsen at Nanpuso is really beautiful with outdoor stone and wooden tubs as well as indoor tubs in both the men’s and women’s onsens. We barely had time to use our private tub because the public facilities were so lovely. Our room felt really luxurious. We walked from the train station but it’s all uphill so some may prefer the shuttle that’s available between the station and the hotel.

Per my earlier check in review, the one major item that had a negative impact on my stay at Hotel Nanpuso was the room temperature of the air conditioners could not be controlled. The hotel had a central control that basically rendered the temperature control of the air conditioning in each room inoperative. The room was warm and stuffy which required opening the windows to cool the room. Fortunately, the hotel was quiet so leaving the windows open was okay. Another thing to consider is if you decide to drive around the Hakone area just a word to the wise. The roads in Hakone area are narrow, winding and offer poor visibility to oncoming traffic. The tourist spots have limited tight parking and can be extremely congested. Other than the road, parking and traffic conditions. Hakone is a location that offers beautiful scenery, quiet tranquility and excellent hot springs.

Meget fint onsen , rent og pænt. Også udendørs onsen. Store værelser og gode senge. Vi bestilte med aftensmad, der var 75 min til at spise flere retter, det var lidt for kort tid. Der er gratis drikkevare, vi synes det var svært at finde ud af at lave de drinks de beskrev, det var kun på japansk og man kunne ikke finde de dele som skulle i drink i drinks baren. Så vi blandede bare, det var ikke altid vellykket.

Excelente! Tudo perfeito! A experiência do Onsen, jantar e café da manhã japoneses foi maravilhosa! Pena que foi só por um dia! Nossa staff Quynn super atenciosa! Com certeza voltaremos a Hakone e nos hospedaremos com vocês novamente. Táxi/ Uber da estação de trem Hakone ou vice-versa vale a pena. Em torno de 1000 a 1300 ienes.
