You know what struck me first about Hakone Honbako? The name itself – "honbako" means "real box" in Japanese, and honestly, that's exactly what this place feels like.

You know what struck me first about Setsu Niseko? The lobby actually feels like someone's impossibly sophisticated mountain home rather than a hotel trying too hard to impress.
