Rebecca, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Dinner was great (pleasant surprise) and it was lovely to have a small hot springs bath/tub off the deck of our room. Bus was our only option, really, that far up the hill - so would plan some cushion into your day for that when getting around.

Great property with a lovely private onsen in the room. Both dinner and breakfast services were incredible with great presentation and very friendly staff. Staff arranged a firefly tour the night there as well which was extra special and unexpected. Would stay again next time in Hakone!

Lovely stay in a quiet and comfortable place. Really enjoyed the private onsen and kaiseki dinner!

10/10 Exceptional

The area around is beautiful and the service is second-to-none. We loved the private onsen as part of our room and the accomodations were very comfortable.

What an amazing experience and certainly the highlight of our trip. We booked the private onsen room and it was heaven. Staff were polite and helpful, the food expreience is was unforgettable and the service was amazing. Beautiful surrounding area that we were able to walk around and was also taken on a firefly sighting tour in the evening. Would recommend to everyone I brag to haha.

Had a very nice stay here - the private onsen in our room was incredible. The hotel staff were all extremely friendly and helpful as well. The meals were huge and very authentic. We could walk to the open air museum and around the area.
Tina, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

This was a lovely and traditional Ryokan. The staff were lovely. Some aspects of the food were amazing and other didn’t quite hit the spot. For example you couldn’t get a coffee with breakfast (even if you chose Western style). The property was a bit “tired” and could do with a facelift especially for the price they charge.
Stephen, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Everything was amazing. The staff are very friendly and helpful, the dinners and breakfasts were unbelievable and the rooms were lovely. Lots of nice hiking roads and trails nearby too.
Luke, 3-night trip

Very nice service, and good view
Xin, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Stayed in the main building of this Ryokan from the 19th century. Large room, beautiful view and surroundings. Very charming and conveniently close to a bus stop. There is also a free shuttle. Food was wonderful and plentiful, and the staff was able to accommodate for my shellfish allergies. There are some minor downsides, the bathroom I had, with a bath that has a hot spa faucet (not a full private onsen which some rooms/villas on the property have) did have some dark spots. Similarly the self-serve coffee room while nice feels lower end in quality for the price. Drinks at dinner cost extra (no big deal, just weird it is a separate cost), there is a self-serve free happy hour at 9pm but at that point I was in a food coma with no desire for more drink, so it felt like a wasted perk. Overall, a unique experience but one's expectations should align with the age of the property.
Pierre-Jerome, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely quiet getaway at this historic ryokan. It is over 140 years old and is still going strong with its delightful staff and beautiful natural hot springs. They offer a room with a personal hot spring which is the one we stayed in. Have to say would visit again. If you plan on ordering the dinner or breakfast be advised the portions are enormous but delicious.
Jorge, 3-night trip

The staff is amazing. It’s away from the busyness but it’s easy to take transportation to be anywhere. The room is clean and comfortable. I had a wonderful time there, definitely want to go back again.
Sheng Wen, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful 300 year old Japanese home, amazing staff who take care of their guests. The staff are able to speak English and take note of your dietary needs. We opted for the room with an open air bath and it was totally worth it! It's not too hard to get to from Tokyo as well, just one train and a direct bus ride.
