Setsugetsuka

A stones throw from Gora Station, perfectly positioned if you want to explore the wider hakone area. Food was excellent - good balance of quality, variety and quantity. Bed was super comfortable. Private use onsen and in room tub were fantastic - a great option if you can’t indulge in public baths because of tattoos!

Signage on the property has limited if any translation to English and limited wayfinding symbols - so be aware you’ll need to pay attention to the translated map you’ll be given upon check in.

Very spacious room. Beautiful breakfast & dinner. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Dinner and breakfast were amazing, easily $50 meals which makes up for the price per night. They provided matcha in addition to tea in the room, and having the japanese style clothing to wear made the experience more memorable and super comfy to walk around in the common areas. Onsen was great with multiple temperature baths, sauna, and outdoor bath next to rocks and trees.

View could have been better from the balcony private tub; it's kind of blocked by wooden panels. Staff at the front weren't always friendly which I suspect could have been due to us being foreigners.
