Aura Tachibana

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.

This hotel booking included half board. We requested our special needs and we were extremely happy with the meal preparation and presentation. The public bath/onsen was good and so was the private onsen in the room. The transportation was timely and staff even helped us to load and unload our luggage. Overall very happy with stay and will recommend this hotel to the guests who want to experience upscale japanese hotel experience.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The staff were amazing! My family and I felt like kings and queens. The property is charming, clean, private and well taken care of. We had two rooms one with the onsen and one traditional japanese room for our adult children. All four of us cant talk highly enough about our stay and experience here.

Impeccable services from hotel staffs. However, the property needs renovation.

Dinner and breakfast were very good in terms of presentation and taste.

We had an amazing stay at Aura Tachibana - super friendly and extremely helpful staff. The food at the hotel was amazing, and the Onsen experience along with some of the most amazing views of beautiful Hakone mountain line - this is a must experience if you are planning to visit Hakone area!

The open-air bath on the balcony was great. The meals were okay but not as good as we have had at upscale onsen hotels. The shuttle bus service was good, although the bus was not equipped to handle large baggage that foreign tourists usually have. There is not much to do in the immediate vicinity of the hotel so you need to have the shuttle take you to the area around the train station.

Aura Tachibana is a Japanese style Onsen accommodation with large Japanese style rooms facing the mountains. We were checked in by a gentleman called Bappa Mondal from our hometown in India (Kolkata) and he was incredible. He explained all the options, did his best to accommodate the dietary restrictions for my wife and gave valuable advice on local transportations. The room was large, quiet and elegant.

Slightly older rooms but great space, lovely views and benefit of private hot springs. Meals were incredible and service was great. Used hotel shuttle too and from train, which was very convenient.

Amazing hotel combined traditional with modernness. We had a large tatami room with regular beds and a Japanese futon bed. It was large and comfortable. Breakfast was Japanese style which we loved. Our daughter however, can not get past eating rice and fish for breakfast. The hotel is not conveniently located, not easily walkable from the train train station. The hotel offers a shuttle bus that takes you to and from train station but stops at 5 pm. You will have to take a taxi, if you return late from Hakone, which costs 600 yen. Otherwise, we loved the stay.

Traditional Japanese style hotel with public beautiful onsen and Japanese multi course breakfast is amazing. Everyone is very polite and friendly. Also very helpful. Highly recommend.
