Experience of the stay
5 minutes on foot from Gora Station. Although there are many steep slopes in Gora, this hotel can be walked to on a flat road from the station, making it recommended for those without a car.
Yutowa claims to be an all-inclusive accommodation, but the hub plan does not include dinner. Although it can be added for a fee, both my husband and I don't drink alcohol, so I thought there wasn't much benefit to going all-inclusive. Therefore, we used restaurants and convenience stores around the hotel for dinner.
The charm of Yutowa is that you can enjoy a stay immersed in books in the relaxing library lounge that adults can also enjoy. Since the building was previously used as a training facility, the guest rooms are simple, but in exchange, there are plenty of play areas to enjoy with children and lounges where groups can gather happily.
During early mornings and the time before check-in, you can use the lounge very quietly, which was great for spending time alone.
Additionally, the fact that you can use the private bath and foot bath without a reservation and for free, and the good access from the station, making it easy to enjoy just around the hotel are also charms of Yutowa.
Experiences during the trip
There are many sightseeing spots within walking distance from the hotel, so you may not need to go far.
■ Gora Park (about a 5-minute walk from the hotel)
■ Hakone Open-Air Museum (about a 12-minute walk from the hotel)
■ Hakone Museum of Art (about a 15-minute walk from the hotel)
You can also take a cable car and ropeway from Gora Station to Owakudani. After returning to Sōunzan Station, we walked down the mountain trail back to Gora Station without using the cable car.
The Gyoza Center, a restaurant very close to the hotel, was also delicious!Get Extra Bonus Coins! Sign up with this user's referral code now!
