Hakone Hibarino

This was my first time staying overnight in Hakone!Not only were the Room and interior beautiful, but above all, the staff were incredibly warm and kind—it was truly a soothing, healing stay.From check-in onward everyone was so friendly, and it felt like an Accommodation that naturally makes you think, “I want to come back.”I was especially touched by the staff member who did their best to welcome us in Japanese they weren’t fully confident with—it was so endearing and genuinely heartwarming. Their sincerity really came through and made me feel warm inside too.And the food was amazingly delicious—I was honestly surprised!Each dish was carefully prepared, beautifully presented, and truly impressive.Even the desserts showed the pastry chef’s attention to detail, and I enjoyed every moment of the meal from start to finish.Surrounded by nature, it was very quiet, and time seemed to pass more slowly—I could really relax.The bath in the Room also felt wonderful; it was such a luxury that I even went in again in the morning.With the atmosphere of the Room, the cuisine, and the kindness of the staff all together, it was a wonderful Accommodation where you can forget everyday life and unwind at your own pace.I think it’s perfect for a well-deserved treat for yourself.When I come to Hakone again, I definitely want to stay here!

I wanted to soak in an Onsen to recover from everyday fatigue, and since I could make a little time during the holiday, I searched for a nearby Onsen and stayed here for the first time.The deciding factor was that the in-room bath is an Onsen and a square stone bath (the common round ceramic tubs somehow don’t feel as relaxing), butthe Accommodation was far better than I expected! The staff’s service and manner were calm and reassuring, so I could stay with peace of mind. The Room is unified in warm wood tones, making it visually relaxing as well, and it’s a very quiet environment (my husband seemed to get a lot done on the work he brought).The amenities were also excellent (I was surprised by the toothbrushes! And the towel material was great.)And the meals were delicate, carefully prepared, and delicious.When I asked in advance about ochazuke being available, I was told “It’s just something simple like a late-night snack,” but not at all—it was an impressive dish, and I was truly moved.Breakfast the next morning also had many items, all of which we enjoyed.Because I have some mild food allergies, we didn’t add dinner; however, through our conversation you kindly accommodated us in various ways for breakfast. My husband later said he wished we had tried dinner as well.If we can find time again, we would definitely like to return.To all the staff members—thank you very much for your wonderful hospitality.
