Visit Hakone Shrine for the New Year! Lake Ashi Onsen accommodations perfect for staying with friends over the New Year holidays

Question

I'm planning to spend the New Year's holiday with a friend at Lake Ashinoko Onsen in Hakone, Kanagawa Prefecture. Hakone Shrine, perfect for a first shrine visit of the year, is nearby, so I'd like to enjoy the hot spring waters of Lake Ashinoko to the fullest. Can you recommend any lodgings with outdoor baths?

It is an all-inclusive buffet with breakfast and dinner, snacks, alcoholic beverages, ice cream, etc., and you can enjoy the sulfur springs of Hakone Lake Ashinoko hot springs in the large indoor bath and open-air bath. The dinner buffet is a Japanese, Western and Buffet buffet with all-you-can-drink except for beer and local sake, and the breakfast buffet is Japanese and Western cuisine with delicious freshly baked bread.

This is a long-established Japanese-style luxury inn in Lake Ashi Onsen. There is a large and beautiful open-air garden bath. I was soaking in the bath that I lost track of time and it was very relaxing. The food was an elaborate and beautifully presented kaiseki（a traditional Japanese multiple course meal ）, made with carefully selected seasonal ingredients and was incredibly delicious. I think this is the kind of food you can only get at a luxury hot spring inn. This is an inn where you can spend a truly luxurious time.
