Peaceful getaway you never knew you needed.

This place was so peaceful. The private balcony onsen and sound of the rushing water below was the ultimate relaxing getaway. The dinner and breakfast buffets were simply delicious. There were so many options and the tempura was perfect. We loved wearing the provided yukata down to dinner. The staff was also very helpful annd friendly. Our only regret was that we only stayed one night. I wish we could have stayed longer. Hakone Kowakien Yunessun entrance is accessible through a corridor from the hotel and is the perfect relaxing getaway. This was our favorite place of our entire 17 day trip to Japan.

Cannot recommend this place enough. Wish we stayed more than 1 night! free ice cream vending machine and lovely onsens that switch between men and women each day that are both gorgeous. Come here to relax, go on beautiful hikes and appreciate life. Plus the breakfast and dinner buffets were incredible with things like unlimited ikura, crab and streak! 119237272/10

Overall the stay was great (Room was good and meals were good too) except for the payment part. Our family stayed for 3 nights and Hotels.com had charged us already for 1 night before the trip. So we should only pay for 2 nights at the hotel after our stay. But they charged us for 3 nights. The reception officer kept saying that we needed to pay for 3 nights. After trying to reason with him, I spoke to the manager, who confirmed we only needed to pay for 2 nights. There was no apology for the mistake and if I didn’t insist that they check again and again, we would have been billed for 3 nights.

We loved our time at Ten-yu. So much that we came back a second time in 2 years. Everything in their facility is professional and cater to their clients. The breakfast and dinner buffets have a wide variety of quality cuisine. Both onsens are different, unique, and enjoyable. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there. We would definitely visit a third time!

We loved this property - so peaceful and relaxing! We were two adults with our two children (ages 10 and 13) and had a delightful time here. It’s a bit of a hike to get to, but was worth it 100%. Staff was very good. Visited the onsen twice and started to get the hang of it! Thank you for a wonderful stay!
