The package included the dinner and breakfast (Kaiseki style), the foods are delicious and served very well. The front desk staff explains very detailed about the facilities.

This Classic and traditional Japanese resort was wonderful! We decided to splurge and booked w half board- the breakfast and Dinner - all very traditional Japanese food, tasty and beautifully presented. We reserved the Japanese style room and enjoyed the comfortable futon. The Ofuro was empty when we went so we really enjoyed the ofuro - make sure to check out both the 6th floor and 2nd floor ofuro (M/F switch times). It was so close to the hakone yumoto station where it was convenient as the starting point for area sightseeing. For arrival, we took a bus from Okayama JR station for ¥480 which dropped us off half a block away from this Ryokan. Would recommend this Ryokan.

The food was not to par and resulted in food poising. Please book elsewhere.

Unique experience! Staff were very friendly, but the facility was a bit dated and probably needed some work (especially for the cost of my accommodation).

Other than the onsen, the staff attitude and room set up was terrible. Amenities were not set up to the correct number of guests, even after requests were made correct amenities were not sent up to the room. The property charges over 30,000 yen, I expect better service and better attitude from the employees

The entrance into the building is nice and inviting. We checked in and were given two keys to the room, which are actual keys and not a card. Once we got to "our room" it was quickly discovered that there was an error in check in. Other people's belongings were still in the room and it was not the type of room we booked. Thankfully the people were not in the room and we called the front desk to let them know of the issue. They immediately came up and verified that they made a mistake and apologized profusely. They did fix the room issue and got us settled into the right room. They also gave us an apology gift for the mishap. The room had a great view of the river and the cherry blossoms. We had the half board, the food was pretty good but you do need to be open to maybe trying some new things as there are many traditional dishes that are served.

This was a Japanese cultural dream. From the traditional meals to dressing in yukata everything was perfect. Even tho it may be out of the comfort zone of some westerners, I think everyone should stay at a ryokan. It’s truly the most zen experience! We even tried soaking in the onsite onsen. Try it! You won’t regret it!

Great place to stay in Hakone, walkable distance from the station with many places to shop around. The springs were great aswell.

The hotel is in a good location which close to the station and Tokyo’s center. The service is good, staff is friendly and support. I’m comfortable to stay here in a short trip at Tokyo.

The hotel is beautiful. Maybe it was because we were in a smaller town with fewer English speakers, but the staff was less friendly here than at other places we stayed during our trip. There are also fewer "included" extras, which we found to be more common at other hotels. This was the priciest hotel we stayed at during our trip and I think I just expected a little more for what we spent. I did like the experience of staying in more traditional Japanese lodgings and the views are spectacular. Very close to a lot of fun shops and food. We did the set meal for dinner and breakfast and it was an interesting experience but not something I would go out of my way to do again next time I'm in Japan.

The property was very clean but was rather tired and worn considering the price. The room was rather musty smelling and the bathroom outdated and basic. I have a severe Shellfish Allergy which I notified the property of the day before arrival (as required). At check in I was assured they knew but at our included dinner there were multiple shellfish included in 2 courses. We checked out first thing in the morning and passed on the included breakfast. Needs improvement.

Good place to stay at Hakone area. Close to station and Main Street.

The stay is very bad. When we arrived at 7:45pm, we were told that we will not get our dinner because the dinner cut off time is 7 pm. When I made the reservation, there is nothing to advise us that the dinner cut off time is 7 pm. If we knew the cut off time is so close to our arrival time, I would not pay for the room and half board. At the check in, I was given a piece of instruction and it clearly stating that the dinner close at 9 pm. Nothing stated that dinner cut off time at 7 pm.

It was such a romantic place loved every single minute of it. Very comfortable. Food was great, Our private onsen was so relaxing And even though we had a rainy day, it was nice just hanging around in our room and enjoying onsen

Extremely nice stuff, clean and vast room, great view and delicious traditional Japanese food.

The room is over our expectation but perfectly meet our requirements😊. The price includes breakfast and dinner which is a big plus. The staff is friendly and helpful though the communication may take more time due to language. We successfully arrived our next destination Kawaguchiko by taxi with the great help from the staff.

Had an amazing stay with a really nice traditional Japanese hotel room with futons and a private outdoor hot bath. The hotel staff spoke enough English to be welcoming and helpful. We had the half board so a delicious traditional japanese dinner and breakfast were included. The highlight was having a private hot bath after dinner with sake i bought up the street at Lawsons.

Customer service is wonderful, meals are fantastic with traditional Japanese experience. I only hope our room is in better condition as the property itself is quite old.

Both the facility and service are top notch
