26.09.14Our stay at Hakone Field Resort was a wonderful experience from beginning to end. What really stood out to us was the staff. Everyone was incredibly friendly, approachable, and welcoming. They were always available whenever we had a question and took the time to give us in-depth information about the sights, transportation, and things to experience throughout Hakone.
One of the little touches we especially loved was the custom origami swans they would make for us. It was such a thoughtful and uniquely Japanese gesture, and those small moments of hospitality made our stay feel even more personal and memorable.
While we were there, we rode the Hakone Ropeway, visited the volcanic area, explored the Hakone Open-Air Museum, and visited the beautiful Hakone Shrine. The staff’s recommendations and directions made it much easier for us to get out and really experience the sights and sounds of Hakone.
The only thing to keep in mind is that restaurants and taxis in the area can be a little pricey, so it’s worth budgeting for that. But overall, we had a fantastic experience.
Between the beautiful scenery, all the things to see and do, and especially the warm hospitality of the staff, Hakone Field Resort was a wonderful part of our trip to Japan. We left with great memories and a few beautiful origami swans to remember our stay by!

The laundromat is located beside the entrance and has restricted hours. So, no need to worry about possible noise issue.
Upon checking out, the staff was so thoughtful and sweet to gift us two origami cranes.
