An editor who travels once a month. Hakone is a standard winter getaway for a couple. I'll introduce you to some carefully selected inns that I would love to stay at.
It takes about 90 minutes to get to Hakone-Yumoto Station from Shinjuku Station on the Odakyu Romancecar. This area, also known as the "gateway to Hakone," is lined with long-established inns, day-trip onsen facilities, meal, and souvenir shops. Enjoy onsen manju and soba noodles, or find a souvenir of "Yosegi Zaiku," a traditional Hakone craft.
An inn where you can feel close to the rich nature of the Sukumo River and Mount Yuzaka. There are three types of rooms with open-air baths. In addition to Japanese-Western rooms with private terraces and low beds, there are also atmospheric Japanese-style rooms and barrier-free rooms. In addition to plans with no meals included, depending on the date, you can also stay reasonably priced with two meals included. Breakfast is served in a venue with a live kitchen, where you can enjoy a wide variety of Japanese and Western buffets.
The hotel has a large public bath and three private baths. There is also a lobby and library with books and photo collections related to Hakone, and a lounge where drinks are sold, so you and your partner can have a great time inside the hotel.

A private couple's trip in a room with an open-air bath
In a room with an open-air bath, I was able to relax without worrying about my surroundings. The large public bath in the building is covered with a roof and partitions, so you can't see much of the view, but when I closed my eyes, I felt like I was surrounded by nature. The Japanese-Western fusion breakfast buffet had a wide variety and was very satisfying. I was excited to see petit cakes for dessert in the morning!

I stayed at this hotel on a special March deal. I didn't have high expectations because it was so cheap, but I ended up being very satisfied. I was upgraded to a room on the riverside, so I could see the cherry blossoms in full bloom. The deal included 2 hours of free karaoke, so I enjoyed karaoke for the first time in a while. I had both dinner and breakfast in a private room at the meal on the second floor called "Nishiki." The abalone steak and other dishes were very satisfying.
