Hakone Nanase (Formerly Manatei Hakone)

We stayed here on a trip that also celebrated a family occasion. Everything was wonderful—the Onsen, the spacious Room, the view, and the staff’s service. The building and Rooms have a sense of history, but everything was thoroughly cleaned, so we felt comfortable staying there. The food was delicious, and the presentation was beautiful as well. The portions were very generous, so I think even men will feel completely full. Women can probably finish it too if they try hard.At dinner, we ordered an upgrade to a parfait with Daiginjo pudding (I believe it was 1,000 yen), but we were already full before it arrived and ate it anyway, so we couldn’t really enjoy the taste—something I regret. I would have been happy if it had less whipped cream and cost around 500 yen.All of the staff were very kind, and there were also international staff in the restaurant, so it seems like a safe choice for travelers from overseas as well—I highly recommend this place. Everyone greeted us with smiles, which made us very happy. We made wonderful memories with my mother! We would love to stay again—thank you very much!

An Accommodation where the essentials of a true Onsen stay—baths and meals—are satisfying. The Facility is a bit old, but the corner-suite Room is spacious for two and comes with a private open-air bath with free-flowing hot spring water. From the window, you can enjoy lush green mountains and the sounds and views of the Hayakawa Valley. The Room has two beds plus two daybeds. Paintings line the corridors. As expected in the Miyanoshita area, there is an abundant supply of hot spring water. While Onsen in this area can have a strong scent, this property’s source spring has only a mild smell, which is pleasant. The main bath is somewhat small, but there are also three private open-air baths, more than enough to fully enjoy the Onsen. Meals focus on vegetables while staying true to traditional kaiseki fundamentals. Fresh and delicious sashimi (three kinds), excellent dashi, and satisfying flavors overall. Rice and soup can be refilled freely, so we left completely full. Breakfast also follows the classic style of an old-fashioned Onsen Ryokan. Not flashy, but a reasonably priced Onsen Hotel that faithfully delivers what matters most in an Onsen stay.
