Angel Grand Villa Hakone

I stayed one night with my small dog, son, and wife. The Room was spacious, and best of all, there were two Onsens in the Room—so relaxing.There was also an outdoor garden dog run, and watching our dog happily run around while taking in the magnificent scenery and nature of Lake Ashi was even more soothing.Next time, I think it would be great to bring our own ingredients and enjoy a cozy stay-in getaway.

When we checked in, we got caught in a sudden downpour and weren’t sure how to walk from the parking lot to the cottage, but the staff kindly drove us there in an electric cart.Everyone was very friendly.The cottage entrance had a lovely atmosphere, and inside it felt like a private villa with high ceilings.Our dog seemed to love it too and was able to relax right away.Above all, the bath was amazing.The indoor bath smelled of hinoki cypress and sulfur, and the open-air bath was wonderful with the fresh outdoor air.The water temperature is on the hot side; you can add tap water and mix it before getting in.The view of Lake Ashi from inside, the green mountains, the stars and moon at night—everything was fantastic.What disappointed us was finding some insects inside and a yellow stain on the carpet under the table—perhaps from a pet? We would appreciate it if it could be cleaned.It would have been even better if there were a toilet off either the living room or near the bathroom.We’d love to visit again.
