The hotel itself was perfect, very clean and well maintained. I had a small issue during my stay, but the manager handled it quickly and professionally. The staff were amazing, super helpful and accommodating. They kindly allowed me to check in earlier than expected, which I really appreciated. I also accidentally left some of my belongings in the amenities room, and they safely kept them and returned everything to me. The manager even personally apologized for the minor inconvenience, which showed great care and attention. Overall, the level of service truly reflects genuine Japanese hospitality.

Super close to gora park, amazing amenities offered and very tranquil environment overall

Warning: you can’t book room+dinner package with Expedia (literally not an option) and the hotel will not allow you to add dinner/eat at the restaurant. Also there are essentially no other places to eat in Hakone as most restaurants close very early, or are not open at all during the week. Perhaps it would be a better experience booking through another website/provider. The room itself was enjoyable with traditional materials and amenities. The balcony bath was nice. However, some of the decorations were low quality/lazy and half of the light switches did not work. The private onsens were occupied the entire night so we couldn’t experience them.

The air conditioning was hard to control. I ended up just turning it off because it got too warm. The property is nice but needs some repair in some areas. I enjoyed the private tub and the onsen. The staff was very professional, polite and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable overall. The hotel food is okay.

Had a high corner room with view. Very clean. Hotel provided a lot of amenities for use during stay. Chose to experience local restaurants for breakfast and dinner. Highly recommend Gora Brewery for dinner. Hotel staff very helpful with suggestions and guidance, especially Shohei at front desk.

Very nice room. Private hot springs were beautiful. Additional "bath" fee for using amenities was ridiculous and not mentioned in booking or by staff during check in.

Good room

Oh my goodness. This place was absolutely fantastic. Everything was above expectations for my stay here. The service, the amenities, the food, location for checking out Hakone, onsen/bathing options, the room, everything. Loved it.

Great service and super charming onsen.

Great baths!

This ryokan is absolutely phenomenal. Gorgeous place with exemplary service.

The room is old with poor lighting. The Aircon was terribly warm and dry despite we set the temperature to below 20 degrees. The in room humidifier does not work. The in room private onsen does not seem to be authentic because when I start filling the bath I can hear some gas heater started working. There is also no sulphur deposit around the bath which is usually the case for onsen facilities. The "kaiseki" dinner and breakfast was so so... In both quantity and quality. Both rice bowls provided during the breakfast were dirty. Given the price of 800+ SGD we paid, it is not up to expectations.

We had a great experience staying here. With breakfast and dinner are provided with kaiseki style, it was prepared properly and organized. Staff are kind and friendly. The room has tatami mats and very clean with outdoor bathtubs. Although the facility is kinda run down, we still enjoy our stay. The train station is just next to the hotel and bus stop is right outside the hotel. We will stay here again next time.

Felt like had traditional design elements and a beautiful hotel. Enjoyed the private hot springs (no reservation required). Good selection at gift shop. Enjoyed the complimentary samue loungewear, yukata wrap, hanten jacket and geta sandals. Breakfast was a good selection of different food items. Restaurants around town very busy, hotel has option to make reservation and eat dinner there.

This hotel was one of the best stays we ever had. Private Tub on the balcony, incredible kaiseki meals, right at the base of the tram and train arrival. Had a 10 pm ramen bar and an afternoon snack bar. This felt like the Japan we dreamed about.

Very easy to use train and cable car at Gora Station, Gora Park and bus stop. Japanese set breakfast was elaborate and good experience. Large room was well equipped. Nice to have free tea, coffee, snacks kimono and towels. Building and wooden hot Spring pools showing their age. Limited dining options in hotel or around town are either very basic or quite expensive.

It was a truly full-service, relaxing experience, even with our two kids in tow. Every detail and thoughtful extra made our stay exceptional. The kids loved their little kimonos and felt so included. The location was perfect -just a short walk to the cable cars, bus stops, and plenty of delicious food options. Our room was spacious, and the private open-air onsen was such a treat. The traditional breakfast included with the half-board was an adventure for us Westerners, but we wouldn’t have changed a thing. Such a serene, zen experience - highly recommend if you’re passing through Hakone!

Beautiful ryokan! The onsen were wonderful and the meals were delicious!

Poor organization of the breakfast. We were waiting for almost half hour and no body serviced us. We had to cancel our reservation of the breakfast.

Hot spring in the room was a bit dirty and the yukata clothes were a little dirty. Towels had a certain smell to them too. There are 3 private onsen rooms too, but you have to wait for a while because there is no time limit. Dinner and breakfast were included and delicious. Also had a bunch of other food amenities like yogurt (?), fish grill, and ramen, but I did not get to try.
