Beautiful location, very comfortable, excellent service and good food. The room, facilities and grounds are beautiful. It is a little remote so a car or fairly pricey taxis are needed as busses tend to be a bit slow and complicated to get anywhere. We wished we had staid longer.

10/10 Exceptional

To be honest, I was initially hesitant to stay at Hakone Retreat Fore. Having looked at the property photos, a part of me was worried that the aesthetic was too modern and wouldn't deliver on the traditional ryokan experience that our family was hoping for. However, I am so glad to be proven wrong - Hakone Retreat not only honours the ryokan spirit but further elevates it with unforgettable service, food, and comfort. The main building and villa rooms are understated by design. There are no ornate furnishings, glittery trinkets, or flat screen TVs. Everything serves as the canvas which highlights the nature surrounding you - the calm, the birdsong, the gentle breeze. It is truly a retreat from the frenetic pace of city life. The onsen features both indoor and open-air baths. You're not just staring at a fence - both have a direct views of the trees and the mountain beyond. The combination of bathing in the water as well as in the forest ("shinrin-yoku") creates the deepest state of relaxation. Lastly, the staff and dining are incredible. We live in a self-proclaimed foodie city and were still blown away from the quality and execution of the Woodside dinner. The kaiseki dinner at Hyoseki was equally impressive in its deceptive simplicity and flavours. The breakfast buffet had a tremendous variety of dishes, all freshly made and delicious. Hakone Retreat blew my expectations right out of the water! I am grateful to have stayed here and can't wait to return again very soon.

6/10 Good

It is a very nice spot for retreat, however not so much to do else. We hiked up for Mt. Kintoki and got a nice view of Mt. Fuji. That was great! We stayed for two nights and had half pension. Breakfast was excellent! For evening meal we had the 5-course menu. The dishes were good/OK, with the very clear exception for the main dishes. The first evening we had, according to the menu, lamb racks. We got a chunk of meat, or rather a chunk of fat, from an old sheep. To get access to the small amount of the very tough meat you would need a razor sharp Japanese kitchen knife which we hadn’t. Taste was similar to wool. Second night we had as a main course “Rolled Harkone Pork”. This turned out to be rolled fat with approximately 10g of meat in the middle (a piece of 20 mm in diameter). The restaurant is supposed to be a barbecue place and the accompanying vegetables were indeed grilled on the barbecue. However, the meat was “grilled” with a handheld gas driven flame, probably due to that the “meat” was so fat that you couldn’t put it on the barbecue without getting fire. We complained both evenings on the main dishes, without any proper actions taken! If you decide to go for this beautiful place don’t take the dinner package, go somewhere else for your evening meal!

A beautiful luxurious retreat!

Loved our stay and only wish we could have stayed longer! Great location, welcoming and accommodating staff (they shipped the laptop we left behind to our hotel in Tokyo the following day), fantastic meals (breakfast, dinner and treats) and thoughtful amenities deserve at least a couple of nights stay. Thermal springs are well situated and super relaxing and the area around the hotel is beautiful. I would give this hotel 11 out of 10!

From the moment we arrived the service was excellent. The setting is beautiful and the staff are efficient and friendly. This really is a retreat and is very zen-like.

This hotel is beautiful! We ended up booking an extra night because we loved the area so much. Hakone is a beautiful town full of nature. It’s so green all around. The hotel has a great bakery coffee area where they hand make their breads. There is a bus stop down the end of the road which takes you everywhere. Not a lot of dining options in the town but the hotel has a great little restaurant.
