Even though not a typical Japanese Onsen style accommodation, the modern facility and seasonal Japanese western style cuisine welcome to make your body and soul warm with excellent staffs and a hot spring bath. One of my favorite hotels is this in Hakone.    久しぶりの箱根で、最も好きなホテルのうちの一つに滞在。日本風の旅館ではないものの、モダンな作りの建物、素敵な旬の日本洋風の食事、素晴らしいサービスのスタッフと温泉が、あなたの心も身体も温めてくれます。

Hotel de Yama

True relaxation that has been improved through the changing times. A resort hotel with a healing experience and a view of Lake Ashi. As a classic and authentic resort hotel in Hakone, we have improved our hospitality for a long time at this beautiful natural scene.

Fantastic location

Reviewed By jenniferbG4346QZ

The location of this hotel is fantastic. It is just a few minutes walk to the Hakone shrine and tori gate on the water and about 15 minutes walk to the town by the water. From the town you can catch the pirate ship or ferry to the base of the cable car and head up the mountain to other attractions. The hotel grounds are lovely and full of pathways lined with Rhododendrum. The rooms are a great size and all have a view of the lake. I stayed on the third floor and in my opinion rooms on the third and fourth floors have a better view but the second floor rooms have a balcony and the first floor rooms have patios. The hotel provides yukatas and all toiletries you might need. The hotel onsen is small but nice and also has an outdoor bath. The hotel spa is very relaxing with a variety of services. I did not have dinner at the property but breakfast was very good. Every staff member I encountered was extremely professional, courteous and friendly. My only complaint is the mattress was very firm and I prefer some thing softer but that is a personal preference.

Exceptional service in restaurant

Reviewed By 747nataleea

It was a rainy day in Hakone, the last day of my trip. I did not like the idea of being outside juggling my luggage and umbrella so I found a lovely refuge at the Fujiya Hotel. Being a Saturday the restaurants had a long wait for the table, so I went to the tea lounge. The waiter was kind enough to wipe my wet luggage after showing me to my seat. Although I was not a staying guest I felt they gave excellent service. Next time I would like to stay. The rooms look beautiful, and the surroundings are steeped in history. Access is convenient from Hakoneyumoto station. About 15 minutes bus ride, and the stop is right in front of the hotel.

A great place to rest, recharge, and relax

Reviewed By ginomempin

I stayed at a Superior Room with Open-air Bath. The room was spacious and immaculately clean. The description said it had 2 single beds, but each bed could fit 2 and the entire room could probably easily fit 4 people. It even had a sort of living room between the bed and the balcony, where people could hang out and roll around, or use it as a space to open up all their luggage. The chairs weren't that comfortable though. The floor-to-ceiling window and the balcony view was *refreshing* to look at as you wake up in the morning or as you sit on the balcony and drink your complimentary coffee/tea. (Make sure to request a high enough room for a relaxing mountain view). The toilet and the shower were separate. The shower was the standard Japanese small size, but that really isn't an issue if you will be using the public onsen anyway. The private bathtub is nice for people who want to experience the onsen water but don't want to get naked in the public onsen. Though, when you are in the bathtub, there isn't much of a view from where you are (it's blocked by the railing), and, to be honest, it's not worth the money staying here and not going into the public onsen. It's nice though for couples who would want to dip in a bath together (could comfortably fit 2 Asian-sized couples). I would say the highlight of the place are the 2 outdoor/open-air public onsen. The 6F one has a nice infinity pool view, where you can relax and stare at the mountains in the distance (it's especially nice during the autumn season), and the 5F one offers a calming waterfall sound in the background. I recommend checking the sunrise times, then waking up early and being at the 6F onsen just in time for the sunrise (make sure it is open to your gender!). If you don't want to be naked outdoors though, both public onsen still have the regular indoor pools with windows also looking out into the trees (also, the water is hotter indoors). But I think it's wasted money if you come here and *not* experience the outdoor baths. My stay included a breakfast at the hotel's own restaurant on the 5th floor. It was the traditional Japanese breakfast (the main dish was fish and rice, and a lot of other small vegetable dishes, salad, and desserts). It was all pretty to look at and you could tell the amount of effort that went into the presentation. If you are not fond of the traditional Japanese breakfast, you might want to inquire at the hotel for other options (there were no other options for me though as it was a special package that already included the breakfast). After you had your breakfast, go to the 5th floor to have some freshly brewed coffee (from a machine) and hang out at the patio surrounding the 5F reception. The view of the trees is relaxing as you consider and plan the activities for the rest of your day. Aside from the 2 public onsen, the garden, and the bar/lounge, there's not much to do here or in the surrounding area. It is a bit far off from the rest of the places-to-see in Hakone. They do offer a free shuttle to take you to/from Gora/強羅駅, but if you are the type that likes to walk around and explore the area, then it's not as convenient. I suggest coming here and checking-in, only after already doing a long day of exploring Hakone. Rest for the night, take 2-3 baths, have a massage at the spa, have drinks in your room or at the bar, recharge, relax, then checking-out the next day to resume your adventures.

Partly my fault in mistakenly booked for 1 instead of 2. Be extra careful when booking. Had to pay 50% extra for 2 person BUT BUT, can't change booking via on line booking, had to re-book AND lose original payment. BAD End up having to pay extra US$60!!! per night, NO Breakfast With that, was given a room the same size as for 1 person. Robbery? No allowance given at the front desk and no help given - absurd! Furthermore, room cleaning is extra $15 per day - should have mentioned in website Website Extremely bad experience. NOT RECOMMENDED
