Reviews of 箱根仙石原の宿 よいな 4 stars

Pro is only us stay in one family one whole house Gave us complementary snack and bottle of champagne so lovely. Location is 2 minutes away from 7-11, need the car move around.

We booked this apartment 5 months before our trip to Japan. The owner requested us to mail copies of our passports and our personal information to him. 2 days before arriving, we received an email with the entry code of the front door and a check-in code. It took us 4 attempts to open the front door. Then there was a tablet to enter our check-in code, the data of both of us, photograph both our passports with the tablet . . . to end up with a “failed” message. We then had to push a call button to get in contact with a call-center who again asked us to give all our data and show our passports. Finally, a code to open the apartment door appeared, which we took care to photograph immediately. As if all this electronic check-in stuff wasn’t enough, the apartment was full of electronics with buttons marked in Japanese. Airco command without temperature indication but only + or - degrees, bathroom with heating/ventilation commands, washing/drying mashine with same Japanese characters. Through a QR code, one is able to get basic information on how to start/stop the washing machine, but not how to set the washing cycle or temperature. The lights in the hallway are equipped with motion detectors to make sure you will be wide awake when you go to the bathroom at night. However, once you open the door, you will be greeted by a toilet that opens it’s lid automatically and lights up with a soft blue light. DO NOT DISCARD your check-in code as you will need to re-enter it at check-out. Be aware that getting to the apartment can only be done with a compact car. The streets are so narrow that one prays not to scratch the car on the rocks and walls protruding on the sides and, even more, not to encounter a car coming the other way. The apartment and garden are very nice. The amenities and welcome drinks and snacks very thoughtfull. Don’t know who the owners are, but they must be nice & gentils robots.

Le Chek-in a été nul…!!! Pénible 🙄🤨 Appartement difficile d’accès routes très étroites…L’appartement est très beau, le jardin et les gâteries mais cela n’a pas été suffisant pour rendre notre séjour agréable.

Everything.

It's a really amazing place, with all the facilities, including washing machine

Just perfect! Very spacious apartment with access to a small Japanese garden. Super clean and cosy. Good place for a relax after long days of sightseeing and travel. Wonderful neighbourhood - small quiet village close to local attractions, but you definitely need a car to move around. Complimentary bottle of sparkling wine, beer and snacks were very nice add on to this stay. I would definitely choose this place again and recommend it to everyone.

Nothing. It was just perfect and exceeded my expectations. I have rented it for only one night. I should have stayed there one or two more days.

What an amazing place, especially if you have a car to get around otherwise you may find a lot of time on transport. It was sparkling clean and just perfect. So far our favourite stay in Japan. Comfy beds and that moment you go over the mountain and see my Fuji for the first time is magical.

Such a spacious accommodation, beautiful garden, and great amenities. Loved the shower!

There was a bit of a draft of cold air coming through from the hallway to the main room which was noticeable when you'd sit on the sofa.

The property was gorgeous! Beautiful entry, big spacious room, plenty of facilities, the most amazing bathroom ever and the garden was gorgeous! This was an incredible place to stay in rural Japan. There’s a convenience store nearby and great local restaurants. Expect small town charm and quiet.

Well furnished with everything you'd need- washing machine, microwave, tub, comfy beds and a nice garden to look at. Heater was working well and the bathroom was big. We enjoyed the space and the amenities. Even had complimentary snacks and drinks. It's also unmanned so quite hassle free check in. There is also a 7-11 nearby. Very convenient.

Narrow roads to get to the hotel but that's probably the same everywhere else in this area.. luckily we drove a very small car but I imagine bigger cars will face some issues with the tight turns.

What more can I say about my stay. It was enjoyable from start to finish. The location is perfect for a retreat within the regional areas of Japan. We were welcomed in like it's a holiday home, with its hallway into our accommodation as a starter really set the tone as a spacious room to enjoy our stay. The living room, bedroom and bathroom offered plenty which really showcased the attention to detail. Again, I truly recommend this place for a peaceful retreat and it's brilliant during the winter season.

Beautiful spot, lovely facilities and extremely well maintained. Perfect stay

It was a spacious apartment as it is the ground floor of an entire house in a nice little neighborhood. Parking was directly in front of the house. The interior felt high quality. It has a good location between the hot springs and Mount Fuji.

Everything as aspected and above.

Warm, cozy and away from the chaos down at the lake or the $$$ up in Gora and surrounds.

Amazing, clean, large space, good working washing machine as we have been in Japan a while! They provided x2 water, x2 beer and a bottle of wine plus some snacks all for free! The TV worked and had netflix that was functional aswell!

Excellent room, excellent service with free minibar including beer, champagne and even toothbrush for little kid. Location is fine if you drive else it's quite a distance from Yumoto.

Place is spotless clean, excellent facilities, free snacks were a nice touch and check in was smooth and effortless!

Very Nice and clean good value for the price

Beautiful property. Modern, clean and fabulous esthetics. We loved staying here.

It’s just amazing. Everything is new and well organised. The zen garden is beautiful, enjoying your breakfast or a glass of wine with this view is great. Still, it’s very comfortable, we would have loved to stay longer and hopefully will be back someday!
