Hakone Airu

Fantastic and reasonable value . The only problem was getting there and out. There is no good transportation to and from Odawara station .

We enjoyed our stay greatly. The staff were also very lovely and accommodating (especially Yuki!)

Everything was absolutely fantastic! A perfect and refreshing stay! We are 100% planning on another visit.

We booked with dinner and breakfast. Everything was yummy and presentation was amazing. The ambient of the hotel is nice, however it feels more Thai theme rather than Japanese. Also, the plastic fake plants by the onset tub in the room really doesn't fit with the beautiful cherry blossom on the mountains.

The resort is beautiful. There is a waterfall as soon as you come in the staff is incredible. I still miss them to this day. It was my birthday weekend and they went to purchase a cake for me. My husband requested a small piece, but that was not enough. They had to buy a full cake. I had someone come to my room and give me a full body massage. You get two welcome drinks. The place is completely cleaned. It is so cozy inside we had access to tea and coffee. Every day we booked the room they came with a dinner and breakfast in every single day we were at mazed at how great the food was. You are about five minutes away from the town, which is so incredibly beautiful and there’s a bus stop in front of the hotel.

Everything about it felt special and high quality. Like the type of place you’d come for a honeymoon.

Hakone Airu was a beautiful and relaxing place to stay at. It was easy to get to from Hakone-Yumoto Station by the bus shuttle. Definitely take the shuttle if you are able to. However, if you walk, it'll take some time but you get to view the onsen city. The staff were very welcoming, kind, and thoroughly explained how the services I booked worked. My sister and I got the dinner and massage package and it was very worth it. The dinner menu was delicious and fresh and we enjoyed every part of it. Our room was very cozy and the private onsen was very nice, with a beautiful mountain view. We loved that they provided yukatas for us both. It was nice to wear them and relax around the whole resort and our room. We also liked that there were two sinks and free toiletry/hygiene products for use. Although we forfeited the breakfast portion due to other conflicting schedules, we are sure it was as good as the dinner. We would definitely come back to this place and spend more time here.

The Bali ambiance is perfect at this hotel. Super calm and romantic. Everyone was so kind and helpful. The highlight was the view from our private balcony onsen. Food was great and plentiful with a lot of variety each night.

Most relaxing part of our trip. Wish i stayed longer!

Food was delicious, staff was kind

Excellent meals

Everything was fantastic. Room was clean, staff exceptionally friendly, food was amazing. There really wasn't anything to not like. Very much appreciated having a private onsen.

Very nice

Amazing stay, beautiful place, lovely staff. Very relaxing and enjoyed every moment.

My stay at Hakone Airu was one of the highlights of my trip. The setting is beautiful — I visited on a rainy day and could see cherry blossoms against the mountains while relaxing in the private onsen, which was an incredible experience. The room was spacious and very comfortable, and I slept well on the futons. The kaiseki dinner and breakfast were both good, and I really liked the private dining rooms, which made the experience feel more intimate. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the property is very well maintained. Overall, a relaxing and memorable stay — I would definitely recommend it.

Beautiful stay with exceptional hospitality, but dinner quality varied night to night Hakone Airu was a very memorable stay, and what stood out most was the hospitality. The staff were genuinely kind, attentive, and welcoming throughout our time there. Everyone made us feel taken care of, and I especially wanted to recognize staff members whose names I may be spelling phonetically in English, including Pneun-Mo, Me-uh/Mew at the front desk, Main, and Sung Say. They were all fantastic. All of them I believe are from myanmar (Burma) and are wonderful. We wish them the best, as they truly were extremely accommodating in our requests, like leaving early to make our Shinkansen. The property itself felt peaceful and special, and the overall experience was very relaxing. Breakfast was delicate, thoughtful, and very well done. For travelers from a Western background, some of the Japanese breakfast items may feel unique at first, but it was wholesome, balanced, and a great experience. Dinner, however, was a bit inconsistent between the two nights. Our dinner on 03/31 was fantastic and noticeably better than the first night (03/30), attached menus. The ingredients felt fresher, and the overall quality was much higher. The clam soup was wonderful, the octopus appetizer was excellent, the onions in the soup were surprisingly delicious, the shrimp tempura was outstanding, and the wagyu was fantastic. Dessert was also a perfect finish, especially the sakura element, which felt light and

This Ryokan was outstanding. It was peaceful and stylish while also feeling authentic and very Japanese. We loved the private hot spring bath on our balcony and really enjoyed dressing in kimonos for dinner. I highly recommend this Ryokan

This stay was highly incredible. We decided to treat ourselves on this stay, and it was definitely amazing. From the views, the relaxation you gain, the comfort of the bed and tatami mats, and of course the baths. The staff is also extremely attentive and kind. We loved our stay and wish we couldve stayed even longer!

Really enjoyed the private bath and the accommodations while we were there. The staff was extremely friendly as well. Unfortunately, I was not there long enough to take advantage of the spa or bar but perhaps next time :)
