A verified traveler stayed at The Prince Hakone Lake Ashinoko
"This property is absolutely stunning and the hospitality of the staff was practically unmatched during the rest of our trip. We arrived later in the day and wished we had come earlier to spend more time on the property. The food at the onsite restaurants was impeccable and the room was very comfortable. Staying here was incredibly relaxing after several days in Tokyo and we wished we had stayed two nights instead of one. It was about an hour from the Mt. Fuji attractions which were also some of our favorites from our trip to Japan (Tokyo, Hakone, Kyoto). "
"Lovely hotel, rooms and views. Very accommodating, for a price. Comparatively expensive for the other places we stayed in Japan, but they were excellent. Designed to be a resort, it is unnecessary to leave the property but they made everything in the area very easy to access. Common area and restaurants were very pleasant spaces to relax. "
