This is a traditional Japanese-style hotel room with traditional service. The room was fantastic and was the perfect size for two. We paid extra for a private bath on the balcony facing an amazing mountain with a creek below and waterfalls scattered throughout. Be prepared for traditional Japanese meals served in your room by an adorable, kimono-clad waitstaff. This place does not have many English speaking staff members, so it helps if you know some basic Japanese. However, if you don't know the language, it is still an incredible experience. Another thing to note is that this is ryokan is not in Hakone proper. You will need to take a train from Odawara Shinkansen station to Yugawara Station. After that it's about a 10 minute taxi ride to the hotel. While out-of-the-way, it was still a fantastic experience and we had a terrific time.
