Aura Tachibana

Staff were very attentive, and the meals were masterpieces, both dinner and breakfast. We really enjoyed the rotenburo in the room as well and the futon was very comfortable.

The hotel was really nice, the hot tub in the room was great, we did not use the public baths so I cannot comment on them. Food was great, good variety and exceptional service. The only negative thing was the towels in the room were very bad, thread bare and worn, totally different than everything else at the hotel.

Amazing

Excellent facility. Awesome Japanese food prepared. We do not eat pork and they catered for these needs. The Onsen experience was great.

Love it

I spent one day and one night at this gorgeous place for my trip in Hakone, the stuff were friendly and helpful, they explained every details to me patiently and guid me to my room upon arrival, the room was spacious with a private pool at balcony facing the mountain, it was a shame that I didn’t reserve my dinner but the breakfast was delicious as I was served with traditional Japanese food, it’s a wonderful stay and I am looking forward to coming back.

We had a great stay at Aura Tachibana. The staff were exceptionally helpful and we really felt looked after.

Staff was very friendly and kind. The breakfast was really a top notch. The onsen in the balcony was amazing. The hotel is huge. There was nothing to complain.

Everything was 10/10. Amazing experience that I will never forget. Make sure you do half board because the food is phenomenal.

The staff were incredible, they made our stay incredibly comfortable

Awesome time.

staff is very courteous and attentive food is wonderful

The service is excellent. Thank you for your courtesy.

Very clean and nice Ryokan.

This is gorgeous hotel. The staff are so kind, courteous and attentive. My room was spacious, with comfortable bed, stunning mountain views, and of course the Japanese heated toilet seat which is a luxury! The food was delicious. I ate both breakfast and dinner in the hotel restaurant and every little dish was so fresh, interesting and served like beautiful art. The onsen baths are wonderful and relaxing and I enjoyed the sauna as well. Short 10 min walk to the little town center and train station. I liked being away from the shopping street. I felt so taken care of and would definitely stay here again.

Very professional staff and very knowledgeable

⭐☆☆☆☆ Stay away — serious hygiene issue I stayed at Aura Tachibana recently and ended up with dozens of bed bug bites all over my arms and legs. The room looked fine at first, but by the next morning I was covered in itchy red marks. I had to move to another hotel and buy medication to treat the bites. I’ve reported this to management and hope they take immediate action to address it, but until there’s confirmation that the rooms have been properly treated, I strongly recommend avoiding this place. It was an awful experience and ruined part of my trip.

The service was truly exceptional and of the highest standard. Staff themselves bring the quality of service top-notch on your table, you can experience what is meant to be the Japanese service is. Highly recommended.

We stayed for one night at Aura Tachibana, and our arrival from Osaka was unfortunately delayed by 3 hours due to a tsunami but we informed the hotel ahead of time and they were very accommodating. The kaiseki dinner was amazing, so much food and beautifully presented. It was served in the restaurant (not in the rooms) with a lovely view of the mountains. Our room had a private onsen which was great to have

Don't be fooled by other good reviews, the hotel is very dated and service was sub-par. We stayed for two nights in a luxury tower deluxe twin room with an open air bath (private onsen). For the price of this hotel, we expected alot more than we recieved. Our room was nice enough, however was musty, the shower head was broken and everything looked as though it needed to be renovated. The staff were unable to accommodate our meal change requests as my partner is pregnant, this was very disappointing. Even after having requested not having raw fish for my partner, it still came out with dinner and breakfast the next day. On the food, everything was presented nicely however presentation cannot suffice for bland food. We thought the dining experience would have been much more enjoyable. The staff didn't speak very good English, yes, I know we are in Japan and don't mean to sound like a Karen, but for the price of the hotel, a few staff members who speak sufficient English would be beneficial and would offer a better service to their guests. This hotel was almost too conformative and staff didn't not seem willing to accommodate our requests. We would not recommend this hotel, spend your hard earned money elsewhere. However to end on a positive note, the hotel is located only a 10-15 minute walk from Hakone-Yumoto station, so good location. Definitely book a taxi or shuttle bus to the accomodation if you have heavy luggage as there is a steep hike involved.
