Suiun

This is a dream hotel. Truly. Everything was perfect from the moment we arrived to the moment we checked out. The staff was incredible-we felt like family, and they were so attentive and helpful. As Americans, this was our first ryokan experience and hopefully not our last because when I tell you they take care of you, I mean it earnestly. Our check in process was done in the dining room with a cold beverage and a mochi treat. We were then shown around the property as we made our way to the room and the room is gorgeous! There were no words other than a dream hotel room. Everything was perfect and beautiful and the view of the mountains was magical. It’s the perfect place to reset if you are traveling in Japan. I wish we would have stayed longer. We did the private onsen room so we had the bath on the balcony and I think in the 1 night we stayed I took 4 baths hahaha. It was so nice. My husband and I also ventured into the private onsen together and that was just as lovely too. We did the dinner and breakfast and I’m so glad we did. They fed us so well. The food was the best we had in Japan. We left feeling very full but in the best way. Thank you Suiun for being the most magical part of our Japan trip. We simply adored you.

Wish we could have stayed for another night. Staff was incredible, property is fantastic with excellent central location near Gora station. Walked from Suiun to The Hakone Open-Air Museum easily with the best Lawsons along the way. We did not make it to Hakone Gora Park but it was right next door, down the street was a Hakone Tozan Railway stop. Enjoyed a snack and drinks at Gora Brewery and Grill which was right by Suiun as well. The private room onsen was amazing, loved the option for private public onsen, as well as the public onsen. Dinner was incredible, unfortunately we were too full to enjoy breakfast. Amenities were amazing, this included the pillow library, snacks, drinks, ramen, etc. Loved the in room pour over coffee option to include DIY fresh ground beans. Hope to return to Suiun in the future!

We had a very pleasant stay at this Japanese-style hotel. The property was clean, quiet, and well maintained, with a relaxing traditional atmosphere. Having a private onsen was a nice experience and made the stay feel extra comfortable and peaceful. The dinner was very good, with fresh ingredients and nicely prepared dishes. We especially appreciated the attention to detail in both the food and service. The staff were friendly, helpful, and attentive throughout our stay, which made everything easy and comfortable. Overall, it was a relaxing place to stay, and we slept very well each night. A great option for anyone looking for a peaceful and comfortable getaway.
