YuYu Hakone - Private Open Air Onsen Usage Guaranteed

Staff was attentive, prompt, and kind. I stayed for four nights; one night I had forgotten to book a time slot for the onsen, and they still made sure I had one later in the evening. Above and beyond. Thanks!

Very quiet area. Take a bus down to the lake to go for a hike or chill. Not much at the nearest marina but you can walk to Main Marina where all the ships and people visit for great pictures.

Peaceful

Everything was amazing, the staff was super helpful and the private onsen was very relaxing. Would come back if I ever go to Hakone again.

Excelent staff, going above and beyond to help and provide everything guests need. Super friendly and approachable. The facility is on the bus line to the lake and to the topelines so it is very convenient as well. Plus private daily onsen. You cant beat that!

Amazing

Very hospitable. Bus stop right outside the ryokan

Onsen was excellent. But they only have private onsen outdoors. No extra onsen. We loved how it was close to Lake Ashi, but if that's not the only place you are going... transportaiton may become a problem. This location is more than 50 bus stops from the train station. You pass all of the local areas and stores. This location has strong Onsen smell, and our room had a broken faucet... It was okay but we will not use this location for our next visit. Dining option is only at this hotel as you can't find anyting near by, and although their food was good, it seemed expensive for what you get. But again, perfect for a short 2-day trip of Lake Ashi and ropeway and some time in Onsen. That's all we did and could do as it was very cold and snowing when we visited.

The water had a wierd smell, the onsen was boiling hot to the point where we couldn't tolerate it, and the food was not good. All 3 of us got food poisoning from the "traditional Japanese breakfast " they served

The property is hard to get to unless you have a car. The onsens.can.omly be reserved for 50 mins in the evening and while there is a restaurant, the options are very.lkmited.

Great staff: we reached very late at night. The manager was kind enough to extend our onsen reservation for half hour without us asking. He stayed well past the midnight to make sure our onsen experience is complete! We are so grateful to him. Moreover, the facility is much nicer than we expected: Large lobby and living facilities, great decor and the private onsen is out of this world!

Our stay was great, it was a beautiful and quiet place. The Onsen itself was perfect. I think the only downside was the food was just ok. We were expecting more food options in the area, but when we realized there wasn’t anything close by, we ate at the hotel, and the food wasn’t bad but it wasn’t great either. The breakfast was decent and they give you a lot of food. The dinner though, I’m pretty sure the pizza I had was microwaved. The staff were great and were very nice. We will probably stay here again in the future.

YuYu Hakone was an unforgettable experience that effortlessly blends tranquility and traditional Japanese charm. From the moment my family and I arrived, the warm hospitality of the staff ensured you were welcomed and cared for. The private open-air onsen is the highlight of the stay. Nestled amidst the stunning Hakone landscape and Lake Ashinoko, the baths provide breathtaking views of lush greenery and the serene mountain backdrops, depending on the season. The mineral-rich waters are perfectly heated, which left us rejuvenated and relaxed. The privacy adds an intimate touch, making it ideal for couples, families, or solo travelers seeking peace. The accommodations are equally impressive, with traditional Japanese room aesthetics. Tatami mats, and futons create an authentic yet luxurious ambiance. The dining experience is another standout feature. The traditional Japanese breakfast and options for dinner showcase fresh local ingredients. The hotel is conveniently located near the the Hakone Ropeway - Togendai Station as well as the Hakone Shrine. Guests can take the ropeway to Owakudani to experience the famous view of Mt. Fuji, hot spring boiled black eggs and souvenir shops, or go further into nearby town Gora where there are many shops and museums. It is also located near Hakone-en, where there is snow sledding and an aquarium for family fun. There is also another ropeway heading up the mountain to a shrine and panoramic view. Thank you for the incredible stay!

The rating says it all

Highly recommend this hotel. We stayed two nights and booked 2 slots for our private hot spring bath. We want to comeback to Japan for this reason alone. Staff was extremely friendly and it was an awesome experience.

This is a traditional ryoken located in a tucked away area. We took a taxi to get there because it was raining but were able to leave by bus. The private onsen was lovely, big and beautifully built. We slept really well in the comfortable tatami room and futon bed.

Amazing service! Very understanding and friendly staff. Love that I can book private usage of onsen. The area was beautiful and peaceful.

We had an amazing stay here! The staff was so helpful and accommodating for any of our needs or questions. They do have a limited food menu at the hotel but it was absolutely delicious! We ate on site both nights. The private onsen was fabulous and we were able to use twice daily. The floor mats were incredibly comfortable and we slept better here than most of the big hotels we stayed at in Tokyo. It took a little planning getting here via public transit but very much doable to get from here to Hakone and onward not having a private vehicle. This was our favorite stay in Japan.
