Hakone, Kanagawa Prefecture hotel rooms at the Independent

"We booked the suite room, fantastic view and private onsen. Definitely recommend!"

"The hotel is great if you’re just looking for a way to relax from the cities. But if you’re looking to go to the Hakone Shrine dont stay here."

"Staff very friendly Nice food "

"Location was nice and isolated. Private onsen deck was nice and quiet. Our only close neighbours were the giant spiders and other small hakone residents "

"The room was very nice, has a balcony, television, some smaller closets, tatami matress, a middle size table with floor chairs and futons. The staff was exceptional friendly and helpful. The only thing that bothers us, was our entry room door, it was very loud while opening, we think it needs some oiling, but besides that, everything was very pleasent."

"Beautiful hotel. Great buffet. Great staff. A lot of places to relax. We have a tatoos but we still could use public onsen covering them with the special stickers provided by hotel. Also we had a free upgrade to the highest floor. Highly recommended."

"A beautiful stay and wonderful onsen- we opted for a private onsen thankfully as we were never able to get into one of the three private public onsens on site over the course of two days. Note that the area is stunning and very hilly- local restaurants etc close very early and/or have odd days they are open if you venture out. "

"The onsen was fantastic both public and private in the room. Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The rooms were spotless and we'll appointed. Superior location in beautiful setting"

"It's a very good hotel, we all had very time, and enjoy the facilities in the unit . Very clean and spacious."
