Hakone Hot Springs hotel rooms a the Livemax

"This place is a great place to enjoy a private onsen and nice staff. Be ready to to hike from Gora station to the hotel. Its a bit of a steep hill. I would recommend catching a short taxi. "

"Wonderful stay. Fine dining on the property was superb. Staff was friendly and property beautiful location. Onsen has a lot of traditional rules and restrictions, but we were able to enjoy a few times. "

"This ryoukan is located very close to Hakone-Yumoto station, the main station to get to Hakone. Front desk could speak English and it was super easy to check in and check out. The room had a very fancy and beautiful interior. We had the personal onsen and the view was spectacular. Yukata were also provided in our rooms. The rooms were full tatami and it was amazing to use it as a tea room before dinner and then sleep on futons after dinner which they set up for us during dinner. The eating time is around 5-6pm so make sure you don’t show up late and miss out! We had a personal eating room and the selection of food was insanely plentiful and delicious, we were super full after. One of us was vegetarian and they were able to accomodate us perfectly, remember to notify them in advance. An older lady served us and she was very cute and respectful, using translation tool to communicate with us. We were also provided with breakfast which was equally as superb. We loved using the outdoors onsen, it was easy to use. The noise is quite loud when on the balcony because of the waterfall outside but it’s very pleasant like white noise. Keep in mind, you can’t see anything at night because it’s dark but in the daytime it’s absolutely mind blowing. Definitely recommend you try this experience at least once. The toilet (separated from the shower area) had a bit of a funky smell to it, but it was located away from the room so it wasn’t a big issue."
