Ichinoyu Honkan

第一眼看到照片以為是在沿河的公路旁經過圖中的橋到達對岸的酒店，其實就在公路邊。走一小段路便是公交站，往山上走幾分鐘的小道是登山電車的站台。 酒店本身被樹林與小河圍繞，和風的建築每一處角落都能體會到日系的風味。服務到位，一樓有紀念品商店。榻榻米的房間很寬敞，這次是街角的二樓房間楓，倚靠在窗台上非常舒服。温泉有一個又大風景又好的，另一個不像隔壁是落地窗，沒什麼風景可看。兩個温泉房間按照性別每日輪換。家庭温泉就是一個方形浴缸，沒有任何風景。樓頂的餐廳也是被自然環繞，在其中享受傳統料理非常舒適。是一個體驗箱根不錯的選擇。

自助式服務，行李及床鋪都要自己處理，比較舊式，環境不錯，有提供小孩服裝，但兒童餐與大人相同未能顧及小孩需要。

We stayed here for 2 nights on a full board basis near the end of our 14 nights in Japan We travelled from Osaka on the bullet train to Odawara then took the local bus on the Hotels recommendations I think everyone wanted on the same bus and after a 2.5 hour wait in the bus station we then journeyed for about 50 minutes to the Hotel which was 100 metres down the hill on the opposite side of the road Shoes off at the door and we were in Room Take with it's own hot spring pool overlooking the river The room is traditional Japanese and you have to make up your own futon to sleep on - not to my western comfort I am afraid and with the noise of the river outside both nights were disturbed sleep. Food for breakfast & dinner was Japanese set menu with no choices. My wife is a more adventurous eater enjoyed most of it but in all honesty I struggled and only had water for breakfast If you like traditional Japanese food that's not westernised you will love it Alcohol is only served for 75 minutes when eating a glass of beer wine or sake being the options but is included within the overall deal - you can get a bottle of beer for your room but it must be ordered before 8pm and the cost is added to your bill Ceilings on doorways are lower than normal so a few bangs of the head We used the Hakone travel pass and ventured to Lake Aschi on the bus about 45 minutes where there is a boat trip a cable car ride and a funicular railway down into Gora I enjoyed the experience but maybe I am too westernised as I have eaten Japanese food at home but seen nothing on the menu like the last 2 days
