Hakone Sounji Temple Hotels

"We did not enjoy the buffet breakfast at all. Also, was pretty surprised the outdated bathroom in the lobby. The staff were okay. Room was really nice. Pillows are very firm, was only there two nights but woke up with neck pain, achy shoulder and a headache. So if you are not used to that be aware. "

"Relaxing, dinner was fantastic. Staff was wonderful. Overall great experience!"

"We had a wonderful stay during our visit toHakone. The hotel is older but very well maintained and full of charm. Our room was spacious and had two balconies with beautiful mountain views. It included three single beds and a comfortable tatami area with a sofa and table, which made it perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. Breakfast offered a good variety of both Japanese and Western options and everything was well prepared and nicely presented. The service throughout the hotel was impeccable—staff were very friendly, attentive, and detail-oriented. The Japanese onsen in the hotel is definitely a highlight and something every guest should experience. It is open from 5 a.m. until 1 a.m., which makes it very convenient. Our family of three, including our teenage son, enjoyed it very much. The location is excellent, with beautiful surroundings and easy access to local attractions. We stayed for two nights and would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Hakone."

"Quite spacious and the staff were very helpful and professional. But there was no Mountain View from our room and the sleeping room smelled a bit funky"

"Great hotel. Room was large , beautiful and clean "

"Amazing service scenery and location with onsen in room"

"Staff was very friendly and kind. The breakfast was really a top notch. The onsen in the balcony was amazing. The hotel is huge. There was nothing to complain. "

"We loved our stay here, the bath on the balcony was so relaxing and peaceful and there are both public and private onsens that can be used when available. My husband and I used the private onsens and enjoyed the free ice cream and drinks also available at all times. The kaiseki breakfast and dinners were a great experience and a good opportunity to try traditional Japanese cuisine. The staff are very kind, welcoming and friendly and it’s about a 10 minute walk from Hakone-Yumoto station."

"Extremely kind and accommodating staff! And the burger restaurant was also very delicious"
