Hakone Forest of Verde

Staff helpful and polite, but very much aimed at Japanese tourist. Google translate is essential here. Rooms quite large and bed comfortable. Rooms very dated, water heater and room heating are clunky in terms of use. Onsen ok. If you going by public transport- get bus and get off at Ten-yu just a few mins walk. No obvious signs for hotel until you just outside reception

Great Onsen

It’s an old place & the hallway smells but it has a good bathroom. It’s only passable if you don’t have any luggage, only backpacks, location & transportation is not very convenient.

Large comfortable room. Helpful staff. Good value for Hakone. Hotel is dated and needs a renovation but very clean and everything in room was in good working order. A bit removed from nearby town of Gora leaving either a 15-20 minute mountain walk or a local bus. Walk is downhill to town but a relatively challenging uphill walk back to hotel. Didn’t try restaurant at hotel. Had a room package only and strangely they offered no information on menu or pricing for their restaurant.

Very close to Yunessan. The hotel also has its own public bath. A bit of a vintage location with very friendly staff that are very accommodating to foreigners as well.
