Our expectations for this property were quite high, based on good reviews here so we booked a night here as a bit of a splurge in the middle of our three week Japan trip. It was the most expensive single night accommodation of our entire trip. The journey to Hakone was very interesting and the location is great (right at... More

March 16 2013 was my second stay at Hotel Green Plaza. Both times I have found it to be a highlight of a visit to Japan. (The photos at the website do it justice: http://www.hgp.co.jp/language/english/sp/) The Japanese-style room is spacious, with complete amenities, and the futons are very comfortable. The onsen is indoor and outdoor. Sipping saki as you watch... More

I stayed at this hotel for 1 night. My friends and I arrived on Christmas Day (2012) and we took the cable car rides and numerous trains up. We had the traditional Japanese Tatami rooms. The rooms were quite spacious and came with a small seating area. They had some yummy traditional Japanese snacks on the table when we arrived.... More

This was a full service resort with both Western and Japanese rooms. Our large Tatami Room consisted of a suite with sleeping area, eating area and entrance. It included large TV, refrigerator, clock, yukata, bath supplies and tea set. Room was very clean and all facilities worked well. WiFi only available in lobby. Lobby had piano bar and several shops.... More

I stayed at the Hotel Green Plaza Hakone for one night (March 31, 2013). Based on the reviews I really had high expectations. The reality was rather underwhelming (except for the price, which was most definitely overwhelming). But first, the good: 1 - By Japanese standards, the rooms are quite large. We had the "East-meets-West" room which offered actual beds... More

To get straight to the point, the view, service and rooms were very nice. We took the bus from Hakone-Yumoto station (bus stop #1) to ubako bus stop, about a 45 minute ride, and then about a 3-minute walk to the hotel. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a very helpful doorman, free welcome drinks, and a quick check-in to... More

A Japanese friend of ours recommended this hotel to us during our trip to Japan last December. As we were finalizing our itinerary then, we tried to persuade him if we could skip the Hakone leg since we only had a few days to spare for this trip and we would then be adding this to our Tokyo and Kyoto...

Saw Mt Fuji after breakfast, just walk out to the terrace outside the restaurant and there it was it all its spendour. Pros - Great place to stay in very convenient and near the ropeway stop with indoor and outdoor onsens.
