I enjoyed the video. I live near Tokyo and often drove to Hakone on weekend. 箱根吟遊/Hakone Ginyu started business in 1951, renovated in 2002. My favorite hotel is Fujiya Hotel. Charles Chaplin, Helen Keller, and John Lennon stayed there.
Hakone was amazing … even though it rained pretty solidly. The ryokan was exceptional. Thanks for the recommendation though - we do hope to go back at some stage. We stayed in a great ryokan in Kyoto (coming up in a later video) also frequented by Charlie Chaplain (clearly he loved Japan).
I think we paid for extra for the meals ... but ... the food was incredible (and never ending) so totally worth it. It was a great venue. Totally recommend it.
… it’s complicated. It would seem the only way to book is by phone which makes the language barrier all the more problematic. However, our travel agent (Miles Morgan who are local to Bath) helped us get it sorted (I think they went through a specialist company called Inside Japan). It sounds like a monumental pain, but the hotel is definitely in our top 5 so I would recommend it.
Thank you. Love this. Can’t wait to go.
Bloody brill!!! If this was on spotify id have it on loop
If you were on Spotify I’d have you on loop …

I wanna stay that Ryokan once in a lifetime.
Anyways your footage of Hakone is special in the rain.
A bit more sun would have been good though
Hakone is located in the mountains and is a summer resort.
That Ryokan though… ❤
Love your video. How did you get around Hakone? Public transport? Hakone free pass? Private? Thanks 🙏🏻
The buses were really good. As demonstrated, you can walk some distances but the roads can be a little bendy and pathless.
Rainy days are also very emotional. It is very Japan.
A little less rain would have been nice too.
@@SurrenderMonkeys1 it's hard to go out isn't it.
Does the accommodation comes with a free breakfast and dinner? thanks.

素晴らしい😊日本🇯🇵から
Thank you from England. X
Hi, loved you video, how did you guys booked the stay in that Ryokan and around what price? Looks amazing!
We had a broker who finalised the deal and made the booking for us. Not sure of the price … I’ll see if I can dig it out.
Hey :) lovely video. I want to book this hotel for me and my partner next summer but cant find how to do it on their website! How did you book?

I too, was made by bees
I’m not sure what the process would look like, but it might be … “stingy”?
