About

Hotel Musashiya - Hakone

Hotel Musashiya Hakone sits a 5-minute walk from Hakone Jinjya Heiwa-no-Torii, offering a traditional base with Japanese-style rooms that look out over either the lake or the mountains. Each room comes with tatami mats, futon bedding, and an en-suite bathroom with a bathtub — a proper ryokan feel, though the hotel also provides Western-style conveniences like air conditioning and heating.

Beyond the rooms, the hotel keeps things simple: an on-site restaurant and bar, a spa and wellness centre, and a 24-hour front desk. Parking is available on site, which is a practical bonus in Hakone. Recreation options include a golf course, tennis courts, and a garden if you feel like staying active.

Guests consistently highlight the location — a short walk to the lake, bus stop, shrine, and shops — plus the onsen and the attentive staff. Breakfast, served in Japanese or Western style, gets repeated praise. It's an unfussy, well-placed stay for exploring the area.

Note the check-in window: it closes at 20:00, so plan your arrival. Also, pets aren't allowed.
