When choosing the Hakone Hotel, I was struggling for a long time and finally chose the ”Shanjiazhuang” without a single comment. I found this place and stayed in a panic, but it didn't disappoint. Next, I will talk about my own ”heart journey”, ”hotel address, ”hotel facilities and check-in experience” of my own reservation, hoping to help everyone who is also entangled.
1. My journey: I knew how expensive hotels are when I came to Japan during the cherry blossom season, so I searched it with the mood of trying it out. The price of hotels near Hakone before and after Qingming Festival is basically around 2500-3700 (for 2 people without tax). Of course the expensive ones will not be mentioned. Then when I looked at the price, I found this ”Shanjiazhuang”. The price was more than 1,700 including tax. I was more tempted at that time. Only then did I find that this hotel did not have a review, and there was no stay. There are few comments, and there are no real pictures in the comments. This made me feel a little bit at a loss. During the time of hesitating and wandering among the alternative hotels, the price of the 3 alternative hotels either rose to 5000 or there was no room type that I wanted to live in, but nothing changed at Shanjiazhuang. Decisively booked with the photos given by the hotel official.
2. Hotel address: The address is easier to find. After getting off at Hakone-Yumoto Station, you can find it by searching for Yamazhuang or Yamagaso in Google Maps, which is quite accurate. Just see the sign of ”Xianjing” in Picture 1 and Picture 2. Figure 3 is the gate of Shanjiazhuang. If you arrive before 3 pm, the door of Shanjiazhuang cannot be opened. At this time, you don’t need to knock on the door or shout, just go to the front desk of the ”Xianjing” hotel next to you to check in and store your luggage ( Their two hotels are one, Shanjiazhuang is a very Japanese-style hotel, and Xianjing is just like a normal hotel).
3. Hotel facilities: After entering the villa, a large cherry blossom tree and Japanese garden view came into view (Picture 5), a very Japanese sense of sight. At this time, the panic in my heart has disappeared, and I entered the room again. The scenes I saw made me feel that the price is worth it, and it feels good to be a guinea pig. When you enter the hotel, there will be a Japanese grandmother who will follow you and introduce you to the usage of various facilities (if there is a little brother who can speak Chinese in the small partner hotel who can not speak Japanese), then I will introduce it as a grandma first: in the hotel There are 3 places for hot springs, one is a family-style private bathing room, which can realize the mixed bathing of the whole family (it should be noted that if there are clogs outside this room, you must not go in. Because someone else is already bathing in it (Picture 9); the other is an indoor large bath, where men and women are bathed separately; the last is an open-air bath (for men and women, the open-air bath is only for women on the day I arrived, while men are It can only be soaked the next day, and the opening hours are from 6 in the morning to 12 in the evening). After entering the room, my little Chinese brother helped us make the bed, while the Japanese grandmother served us 2 cups of freshly brewed tea and introduced us to the usage of various things in the room. I won’t go into details here. Anyway, the various facilities in the room are attentive and considerate that you can't think of. By the way, there is also a bathtub in the room to soak in (Figure 4).
4. Check-in experience: pure Japanese-style service, pure Japanese-style room, full of Japanese-style experience. When we booked the room, the room rate did not include breakfast and dinner, so we added a kaiseki dinner for 2 people (10,800 yen per person). The whole Japanese service is very comfortable, but the taste of kaiseki is Chinese. I really can't eat it. ps. There is a delicious curry restaurant 300 meters downhill from the hotel, you can try it.

Very exclusive with only 5 bungalow. Spacious with two connecting rooms and an internal private bath. Service is excellent with dedicated person taking care of all your needs, including serving of dinner and breakfast in the room. The food is simply beautiful and delicious. Relaxed environment feeling like alone in a mountain and no wifi in the bungalow. The outdoor bath is having a nice view but hours for ladies is rather restrictive. Overall a luxurious experience well worth the money.
