great location facing the lake; shopping and museums in the area; history and culture all around you

Besides the beauty of the area. The staff is amazingly knowledgeable helpful and genuinely kind. Stay here! Location is just lovely!

After two nights, I was so sad to leave at the end of my stay and wished I had booked at least one more night. I hope to return soon!

Overall very nice stay , very beautiful garden . We stayed 45years ago . One thing we didn’t like about is Japanese Breakfast and European breakfast were served in a different room so , there are no flexibility for choice. We had to choose one or the other before you go . And like set of bento box . Never experienced before .

This is a very luxurious hotel with a nice onsen. Beautiful gardens and incredible view of Mt Fuji if you are on the garden side which I think on the rooms are facing the garden and lake. Nice paths through the trees to the shrine and “downtown” area but don’t plan a run, it’s made of cobblestone type bricks so your ankles would suffer. Shuttle to/from downtown every 20 minutes if you don’t want to walk.

Hotel was excellent. I was shocked to find I had booked for 1 Adult and was asked to pay a supplement for my wife. This was A$495 for the 3 nights. This was a 2 week trip will all rooms booked on Hotels.com. This is the first time HOTELS.com had a 1 person room... not the fault of Hotel de Yama but annoying and expensive

The hotel is nice and on the higher end. The grounds are magnificent and the view to the lake is wonderful. In a nice day (which we had) you can see Fuji mountain clearly from the terrace. The only downsides were the bar with a bit of a gloomy vibe and a lack of a snack shop (as there is nothing open in the evening within walking distance from the hotel). Overall a great stay and I hope to return there in the future.

For such a big hotel it's shocking they don't have any laundry service. Also the price is a bit high for the age and condition of the hotel.

They are quite generous with their rebates offer! Very good deal

Beautiful and immaculate gardens. Beautiful views of Mount Fuji and the lake. Excellent location, breakfast, and shuttle service. Did not give perfect score because there is only public bath option available; and, you must have a reservation to eat dinner at the Japanese restaurant and that was not communicated to me at check-in. There is however the option for room service to order a Japanese meal at a reasonable price.

What a magical place! It's straight out of a fairy tale!! I would love to visit again. Such comfortable rooms, beautiful views of Mt. Fufi and Lake Ashi, and lovely restaurants. The onsen is the icing on the cake. Staff are super friendly and efficient as well. Breakfast is also top class!

Service with consideration.

Very nice and quiet place

Very close to the lake and sightseeing cruise as well as the shrine.

The hotel was fantastic! It had a great view, and was convenient (for Hakone) to bus lines. The onsen was nice. Th efood was great, and the stff was very helpful. There are busses that stop rigth at the hotel's front door, and a free hotel shuttle to a nearby buss connection point

I love this hotel. My family stays at this hotel when we visit Hakone for the past fifty years. They provide excellent services, clean rooms, best restaurants, and beautiful garden with Ashiko Lake.

We stayed at a wrong time. Not as much flowers as expected but the meals were very good beyond expectations. The staffs also very helpful and courteous. Good location with regular shuttle bus and just 10 minutes walk to Hakone Shrine Tori. Strongly recommended.

Old fashioned hotel by Lake Ashi, very friendly staff and fantastic Japanese style breakfast and dinner! Also very walkable to the Heiwa Torii by the water. Would love to return again!

Excellente service, cleanliness and the views of Mount Fuji were fantastic. Much better from the hotel than the five lakes tour we did! There is a shuttle service that goes from the port to the hotel every 20 minutes which stops at 5pm. It meant we had to walk 15 minutes in the dark to the hotel with our luggage because we couldn't work out where to get a taxi from. This was dangerous and the hotel really should have some kind of warning about this for visitors.
