10/10 Exceptional

Location was nice and isolated. Private onsen deck was nice and quiet. Our only close neighbours were the giant spiders and other small hakone residents
Phillip, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Everything was very nice, food, onseng, clean and large room. The hotel was being refurbished, only reason why I didn’t give the highest rate.
Charles, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

This was my least favorite hotel of our stay in Japan. The property is under renovation, however, it still felt very dated and smelled a little off. Also, a very weird check in experience. Both breakfast and dinner were great though!

Jared, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Onsen was excellent and food is great. The staff were so welcoming and friendly and spoke English well. The massages offered are also a great find and great for couples. It was super convenient, as they come straight to your room. They offer taxi drop off to Odawara station so just ask.
Joshua, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The onsen was not functioning during our stay which was disappointing but otherwise Service was good.
Marilyn, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had a great stay at this hotel. It is right on a bus route with the stop right in front of the hotel. The included dinner and breakfast was also amazing, with traditional and western options for breakfast. Try the Hakone loop bus, boat, rope line (ie gondola) and cable car attraction when you’re staying.
Jagdeep, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

The stay was lovely made special by the meal on 1st night , but had a terrible experience. Despite agreeing the price through hotels.com the hotel inisisted I pay another persons worth of costs on arrival or leave (not poss with a smal child after 10 hours travelling and nothing locally available). Their website is also misleading

Great staff and service! Everyone is very helpful and friendly. If you are looking to attention to detail this is the place to stay and relax on holidays.

Staff service was outstanding. Room was immaculate and well appointed with amenities. Food was incredible.
Room was perfect for a glorious sunrise
Matt, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A great stay!

The food is absolutely amazing, the staff are very friendly, a local bus conveniently passes right buy it, they have a free shuttle to take to Gora which is the rope way station is. Their bath was slightly underwhelming but they have an option to use another public bath for free (5 minutes away). The room was clean and comfortable. It’s in a calmer and quieter area if that’s what you are looking for. Not much to do after dinner but very peaceful.
Seda, 1-night trip

Great first experience at. Ryokan.

Everything was excellent from checkin to checkout. Service was prompt, courteous and high quality. Highly recommend it!

All of it was amazing
John, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Wonderful stay in an authentic ryokan with a long history. Property is visibly aged but generally extremely well kept and provides a top-quality yet very traditional ryokan experience. Food was excellent, staff mostly spoke very good English and were extremely friendly and helpful. Property is a little out of the way but has a bus stop right outside for going in both directions. It is also a short walk to catch a different bus to Gora.
Martin, 2-night trip

We had a long travel day the day prior so having our own private onsen to relax in along with the traditional meals was a lovely way to start our tour of this beautiful country.
