Find Hotels with an Indoor Pool in Hakone

"I had always dreamed of staying here when I was living in Japan many years ago and now that they completely renovated it in 2020 it is even more incredible after viewing the renovation movie in the hotel museum. 😍 To celebrate our Wedding Anniversary we stayed in the Flower Palace Heritage Room 352 Chrysanthemum. I reserved it just because of the photos I saw - incredible architecture - ancient wood everywhere! The ceiling with all the wood beams and the hand-carved panels, lots of windows looking out on the property. Take my ¥¥¥¥ this once! The whole place was like staying in a museum with relics and carvings all over in the lobby, in the rooms, walking in the hallways where such a wide selection of famous worldwide humans once walked was a humbling treat to be sure. Dinner at Kikka-so was remarkable and the Hotels.com reservation allowed one free drink so I chose the rare Isojiman Junmai Daiginjo 50 Emerald! Breakfast at the main dining room was a spectacle due to the architecture and many ceiling tiles that were all renovated - if you watch the museum movie - such dedication to history by the Japanese masters really made it a feast for the eyes - however I would say breakfast was not so remarkable for the mouth with tiny portions commensurate to a French petit plating. We presumed they catch you with the historic ambiance and don’t need to worry about the Western-style food? We did not go to Kikka-so for breakfast since we wanted to see the newly-renovated dining room."
