The gentleman working at the front desk is calm and kind, setting the mood of our stay. I slept so well in the dark quiet of the mountains, especially nice after a relaxing time in the onsen, which they allow you to use privately. In the day hearing the delightful song 🎵 of the uguisu bird was magical.
A tip on riding the bus to the hotel: let the bus driver know you want to get off at when you board (the long name of bus stop has the word “Palace” in it), because our driver overshot the bus stop and we had to walk back. Also, there is a map across the street from the bus stop (if you are coming from Togendai). There is an asphalt road to walk. Go up it and turn left at first corner. It’s not far from bus stop.
I would totally stay there again if I go. It’s an economical place to experience Hakone!
