My stay at Hotel Ra Kuun was relaxing with some great highlights, but there were definitely a few drawbacks. The spacious Japanese-style room offered an amazing lake view, and the onsen was a fantastic way to unwind after a day of exploring. However, the remote location was a real challenge, making it quite inconvenient for dining options.

My room was clean, spacious, and offered a lovely view of the lake. I went for the traditional Japanese room, which was definitely larger than comparable options in similar price ranges. The room had all the basic amenities, including a mini-refrigerator and fresh towels.

The hotel's location was quite remote, about a 30-minute walk to the nearest restaurants or stores in Motohakone. I struggled with the lack of nearby dining options, especially since the buses stopped running by 8pm.

Breakfast had both Western and Japanese options, which was nice, but I found most of the food to be cold. Also, since there are no restaurants in the hotel, it made things difficult for dinner, particularly on weeknights.

The onsen area was well-maintained and a great spot to relax. I loved the outdoor onsen, although the hours for access were limited. The vintage vibe of the building added to the charm, though it could use some modernization in places.

I had a nice stay at Hotel Ra Kuun. The traditional Japanese room was spacious and clean, providing a calming escape from the chaos of Tokyo. However, the location was quite remote, making it challenging to find dining options nearby, especially on a weeknight. Overall, it’s a great place if you’re okay with being a bit secluded and want to enjoy the onsen experience.

While the hotel is situated in a serene and quiet area with beautiful views, it's quite a trek from the nearest bus stop, and there aren't any stores nearby. I would recommend preparing before arriving if you plan to dine out.

My stay at Hotel Ra Kuun was a mixed bag. The traditional Japanese room was spacious and allowed me to experience a different kind of accommodation. However, the location was a significant downside, as it was quite far from dining options and the nearest bus stop. I appreciated the onsen facilities, but overall, the hotel felt quite remote. 🌄

The onsen was a lovely addition, fitting the rustic charm of the hotel. Although it was on the smaller side and had limited hours, bathing there was still a nice experience. Some areas felt a bit dated, but it was generally well-maintained.
