Excellent views from the room. The property is very outdated. The smell of humidity is terrible. The breakfast was very sophisticated for western palates, and there wasn’t an option to get a different kind food.

Some of my highlights of this stay were the view, the location, the food, and the service! Those components made for a wonderful stay in Hakone. However, I felt that the room and the hotel seem a bit outdated as a lot of the cabinets were chilling, and there was no air conditioning during our stay. The control panel seems to be broken as the dial didn’t work, but we were later informed that the hotel was running the heat during the time. Fortunately during our visit, Hakone was a bit cooler which the Dyson air fan was helping a little bit. Overall, there were a lot of positives about the hotel that overshadowed the negatives. However, we were expecting a better property condition for the price we paid.

This was a great spot to have some peace and quiet during our busy JAPAN trip. I do have to say that all that changed when a large group came in. The servers were overwhelmed and we were all but forgotten. It changed the whole vibe of the place having a large group talking loudly and being demanding. It would have been perfect otherwise.

Great Ryokan, make sure you plan you travel from the station as limited taxis. Buses are regular but full of Gaijin with massive suit cases who are not always respectful of the locals. The Onsen and view of Fuji San is incredible. Food is very high end Japanese so make sure you understand this. Staff are very nice and helpful and speak English but do try and speak Japanese you are in Japan after all. 10/10

We loved the hotel and the peace that you feel staying there; the outside onsen is a dream, and the view of Fuji-san is unbelievable. The dinning experience couldn't be better, each day was a different surprise, we loved our host called Ran, she was a trainee there, but to be honest she gave us the best service and recommendations, if you stay there aks for her service and definitely will improve your overall experience at dinning. Overall I loved, my only recommendation would be to have more entertainment for kis, other than that everything was great.

This was a beautiful stay. The facility is a little aged but it's been maintained well and the room views are phenomenal. The baths were clean and there was enough options that getting away from some of the noisier guests wasn't too difficult. In the morning I had the baths completely to myself and it was incredibly relaxing. Absolutely would stay here again. The only thing that was a downside to my stay was the massage. An older woman was doing the massages and it just wasn't good. She couldn't get deep pressure and there wasn't any attention paid to knotted areas. I had several massages while in Japan and this was probably the worst one.

Overall experience of 2d1n matched our expectations. They were accommodating to one of my family members’ dietary requirements. Because it was pouring, we couldn’t rent their bicycle to enjoy the surrounding. The facility is well preserved with tradition layout. One improvement, is to provide right instruction for hotel guests using the public bath. The public bath at level 1 didn’t have keys at its lockers. Can request the locker key from reception.

Mediocre at best

Good view from the room but that was about it. Hot spring is mediocre and the food is even more so. Not worth the $2000 paid (family of 6) for a night including tax and half-board meals.
