It is a perfect combination of ryokan/villas with the main house to have Japanese breakfast and dinner at Hyosekikaku, and great restaurant and cafe at Nest Inn Hakone. If you are a villa guest, you can enjoy everything.
Our villa, number 7, was spacious, the deck was in front of a pond. Nature is everywhere and you have total privacy.The villas have their own onsen. You really don't have to go to the main onsen. Bathroom, beds, amenities are top notch.
Main restaurant, Japanese-French fusion, which also has its own bakery, is amazing in all counts. Breakfasts are incredible. Dinner can be either fix menu or a la carte. A+ for both of them.
There is a Spa in house, great services and reservations are easy to make.
But, it is the staff's professionalism, sunny attitude, their willingness to go the extra mile, and the very special details they showered us with, that makes Hyosekikaku and Nest Inn Hakone a unique, restful and heart warming experience.
