Hoshino Resorts KAI Hakone

From beginning to end, it was an unforgettable experience.

Great Staff. Great food. Love the tea space where you can put your foot under the warm table. Even you can’t have your onsen, you can attend the workshop to make a beautiful photo frame with wood.

Rooms were well sized and immaculate. Onsen was vey nice and not crowded. Meals were good with very good ingredient and service. Commic

Staff were very kind and respectful. Room was clean and spacious. Room had a gorgeous view of the river and trees. We enjoyed the very authentic traditional Japanese food served at breakfast and dinner. The public onsen is fantastic and the area also includes a sauna and a cold plunge. Be aware that guests with large tattoos are not permitted. Would not recommend the Japanese traditional room for guests over 5’8ft as the doorways are very low. My boyfriend had hit his head numerous times. Otherwise, our stay was great and would recommend Kai Hakone!

Property cannot service western travelers, lack of language is a big problem , it is not a luxury property with some nice spring pool and clean rooms , food variety and quality poor appeals only Domestic market, transportation is a problem also with limited taxi and hotels does not have shuttle, I ended up paying a $1 for boiled egg for my son which they refused to accommodate 2 days and finally agreed
