Hakone Suishoen

Total number of rooms: 20 | Prices start from US$

Hakone Suishoen is one of those rare places that exceeds expectations. Every suite includes its own private onsen, so you can soak in total peace without ever leaving your room. The rooms are massive, especially compared to most Japanese accommodations. They come with large beds, minibars, tea kettles, balconies, and full-sized bathrooms stocked with robes and amenities.

Service here is a big part of the experience. The staff goes the extra mile, from pre-arrival communication about food preferences and allergies to the in-room dining setup. Breakfast and dinner are served in your suite, and the cuisine stands out. The teppanyaki dinner is a highlight, where the chef prepares everything in front of you. On other nights, you’ll experience beautifully plated kaiseki meals.

The property has a tranquil atmosphere, it boasts a garden, terrace, and outdoor baths. You can book massages or simply relax with a drink at the bar. The entire space is calm and quiet, perfect for unplugging.

Wi-Fi may be spotty in certain areas, but the staff can usually fix that quickly. The hotel has a curated selection of teapots from local artisans, used during tea service. It’s a small but thoughtful touch.

Good to know: Some rooms are split-level, and the bathroom is located upstairs. If you’re planning to use the living space for sleeping or relaxing, it’s worth asking for a one-floor layout.
