Hi Mamemo


We also stayed at the Ichinoyu Honkan while in Hakone! The private hotspring bath in the room was fantastic but how I wish we had gotten the ground floor one. Did you manage to book that?

I didn't book the one at Honkan, I booked Shinanoki Ichinoyu: http://english.ichinoyu.co.jp/shinanoki/index.html

Yes, I booked the ground floor room !
Wow, I'm looking forward to it !

Hi mamemo,

How's your stay at Ichinoyu Shinanoki? I'm thinking of booking it for my trip. Hope you can give some feedback.

Thank you.

Not the best quality (its a gift from NTU as you can see)... but it does the job.


As sashimi once mentioned... buy a good one... can last you a long time...

most important is your power adapter.. make sure it has variable voltage (e.g. 100-240V)

We went last year mid Dec. It was cold but Disneyland was still opened until 9pm. Days are shorter, think around 4.30pm/5pm it became dark but we still enjoyed ourselves. Used heat pads and brought enough warm clothings to be able to stay outdoor most of the time.

Japan does not celebrate CNY if you are wondering. Korea does though. 1 Jan is their New year celebrations. Usually, there are a few days holiday like Golden week. Not sure if this helps?
