A century-old lakeside grand dame with its own photogenic dock, the Odakyu Hotel de Yama faces Lake Ashi from every room — pirate ships drifting past, the peace torii an uncrowded six-am walk, a shuttle to Motohakone port. Western breakfasts edge out Japanese, sukiyaki dinners delight kids, and May azaleas fill the garden. The age shows badly in the carpets — one guest calls them unlivably dirty; and the renovated lakeside cafe traded charm for paper cups. No private onsen, and the nearest bus stop is twenty minutes.
