The Best Three Hotels for Miyanosita Hot Spring of Hakone Seven Hot Springs

Hakone hot spring is located in Hakone city, Ashiduka county, Kanagawa prefecture. It has seven hot springs named Miyanoshita, Ashinoyu, Tonosawa, Hakoneyumoto, Sokokura, Dogajima and Kiga.They are called as Hakone shitiyu (It means seven hot springs in Hakone).

 

Hideyoshi Toyotomi visited Hokone hot spring and it flourished as the hot spring alongside Tokaido street in Edo era since it opened in Nara era (It was around 700 A.D.). As you see, it is the historical hot spring many people feel affection for. Out of Hakone seven hot springs, Miyanoshita has particularly many nostalgic buildings and amazing tourist spots. Many visitors stay in Miyanoshita as the hub site of their trips.
This time, I would like to tell you the best three hotels in Miyanoshita hot spring. They are highly evaluated after all.

 

Japanese inns in Miyanoshita hot spring are relatively luxurious compared to average hot spring inns. Not a few hotels cost 25,000 yen at least as hotel charges, even though it is the cheapest. You may need more than 70,000 yen to stay high-class hotels. During foliage season and the year change period, the hotel charges soar so you bear it in mind.

Many celebrities has visited and stayed in this hotel after it opened in 1878. Fujiya hotel represents Miyanoshita. The gorgeous and classical appearance of building makes you feel long history. Once you enter the building, you are surrounded by elegant and dignified atmosphere.

It has five buildings called honkan, seiyokan, hanagoden, forestkan and kyumiyanoshita goyotei kikukaso. They have different designs each so you can choose your favourite type of the room.

Private bath is all made by cypress in Kikukaso built as the villa for royal family. The hot water in the bath is installed by the hot spring source of the facility. So, it was good for me with preference with special water.

You enjoy having French dishes in a main dining room, “The Fujiya”, which is registered as the tangible cultural asset. The taste of the French cuisine has been passed over generations since it opened. You also recognise coffered ceilings, vivid pictures and sculptures with alpine plants on pillars and floors while you eat French meals which chefs do their best to cook. If you are not good at the French cuisine, you have Japanese seasonal special course dinner in Kikukaso while you enjoy watching a Japanese garden.
