Experience of the stay
I stayed alone to relieve the fatigue from work in the hot springs.
As it was a room-only booking, I had dinner near Odawara Station.
Be careful as restaurants around Odawara Station close by 8 PM.
Eventually, I had a seafood bowl at a restaurant of the Chimney group.
Buses are convenient from Odawara Station. Get off at either Jinja-shita or in front of the hotel. The stop in front of the hotel has more buses and is a bit cheaper.
The inn seemed to have been renovated from an old lodge and was very clean. The facilities are modern.
On the day I stayed, there were so many foreigners that I thought I might be overseas. They were probably enjoying Hakone on a long-term stay. The shared space is equipped with cooking utensils, allowing for self-catering. Everyone was having a great time in their own way.
The hot springs include both indoor baths and open-air baths. You need to put on your clothes to go from the indoor bath to the outdoor bath.
This time, since it was a cabin, I only had a towel and a toothbrush.
I wondered if pajamas were necessary; I just slept in my underwear.
The hot springs are spacious and pleasant. The outdoor bath has a faint smell of sulfur. Generally, it is colorless and transparent.
The cabin was reasonably spacious and comfortable. There was also a container for valuables.
For breakfast, I went for a walk to the Seven-Eleven, which is a 5-minute walk away, for some shopping.
Watanabe Bakery opens at 9:30 AM, so it's good for souvenirs.
It was a nice inn.
Experiences during the trip
This time, my main goal was the hot springs, so staying overnight was my priority.
Since I used public transportation, I visited Watanabe Bakery, Miyanoshita Station, Suzuhiro Kamaboko, and Tamura Gin Katsu.Get Extra Bonus Coins! Sign up with this user's referral code now!
