Hakone, Kanagawa Prefecture hotel rooms at the Independent

"Wonderful place I never forgot to stay in Hakone."

"2nd time staying here. Everything was great. Food choices are excellent. "

"The hotel is gorgeous and perfectly located near Togendai station. Accessible by public transport, it was easy to get to from Tokyo. The rooms are perfectly suited for short stays but could be stretched for 3 or 4 days and still be super comfortable. Plenty of Instagram worthy photo opportunities, sensational breakfast and dinner. Staff are constantly helpful and wonderful. My only issue was 2 nights wasn't enough to catch everything that Hakone and the surrounds had to offer. Highly recommended."

"This hotel was the perfect spot to wind down after 10 days of hectic traveling. The property is beautiful and the surrounding area serene. We enjoyed the food, drinks and onsen very much. Highly recommend. "

"The place felt like a dream! From the outfit you wear throughout your stay to the hot springs outside that made you feel free. The staff was incredibly friendly and I’d recommend it for anyone."

"Definitely accommodation suited for holiday makers with a car. Facilities were immaculate. Limited dining options but able to walk 6-7 minute to train station to Hakone for dinner. Bus 4-5 minutes. "

"Man this place was cool, staff was awesome too, great view definitely a little hike up a hill but it’s not far from the station and the surrounding area is so beautiful it didn’t even matter, super close to that waterfall walkway thing which is awesome, it’s just a great area loved it, and the bathtub was awesome, I definitely wore my kimono wrong but the staff was so nice reguardless made me feel very nice. and the japanese experience is REAL here aswell"

"Nice staff, room smells like mold. Had to request to change room twice, nice hot springs. Breakfast is ok. "

"Amazing staff and onsen."
