Tounosawa Spa Hotel

"the hotel is very clean, the lake view is great, the buffet dinner offers a lot of selections"

"Room was huge, spotless, and nice. Was a little perturbed by the number of giant hornets I saw, but that's the mountains in fall for you. Really historic and beautiful place. Food options within the hotel were strange and annoyingly expensive - I get that it's a 5 star hotel but not everyone wants to shell out a ton of money to eat there and it's one of the furthest hotels from the main parts of town so it feels exploitative of a captive audience. Food was Ryokan style, which was fine, especially if you're looking for that kind of service. I've stayed in cheaper onsen Ryokans that had more convenience regarding food that didn't feel like I was getting baited."

"Everything was excellent "

"Clean room, courteous and cheerful staff. "

"The staff are top notch, and the hotel is right near the Hakone Yumoto line with multiple options for travel that use the Hakone Free Pass. There are many restaurants near. Bathroom was a little dated, but everything was immaculate. Would recommend. "

"Spectacular!"
