Hakone Nanase (Formerly Manatei Hakone)

Birdsong, the murmur of the river, lush green trees swaying in the wind, and now and then a glimpse of the red mountain train. In the deep quiet, you can hear the sound of water in the natural hot spring bath. Everything matched the atmosphere of our Room perfectly—it was truly wonderful. At work there are children’s lively voices, and when I return home there are my grandchildren’s energetic footsteps. With such busy days, coming here to rest both my mind and ears was absolutely the right choice. It had also been a long time since we enjoyed a meal slowly and savoring each bite. The birthday cake we requested for my husband had an exceptionally soft, fluffy sponge and gently flavored cream—truly delicious. The open-air bath felt wonderful no matter how many times we entered it, and reading while soaking in the footbath was also very nice. For us, who came seeking natural hot spring baths, tranquility, and delicious food, this Accommodation was completely satisfying. We will come again to rest our bodies. Thank you very much.

The best Room I stayed in last time had a bath that was cold in winter, but this time the Room with an open-air bath is the best. Placing a space heater in the washroom makes the bathroom a bit warmer. The meals are also excellent—the rice is delicious. The flavors are pleasantly light as well. I’d love to see a better Bordeaux Médoc wine selection. The service is great, and it would be even better if checkout were at 12:00. This is an Accommodation I want to visit again. I bathed many times, and as before, it helped my sciatica. The water was lukewarm, so I asked for more hot water; it became perfectly hot and was wonderful. Thank you again, and I look forward to returning. I also used the private bath, and it was very good.
