First of all, this is small ryokan only 7 rooms. People called it dated accommodation but it's just the way we like it. We don't want brand new ryokan, we want something old but clean and well maintained. How to get there? From Hakone Yumoto Station take Hakone Tozan Train, you can bring your big luggages inside just fine. Drop at Gora Station then take Hakone Tozan Cable Car. Take the cable car and get out on OH 58 Koen-Shimo. Go downstair a little bit, there is a T section right in front. Go right and walk about 100 metres, take right on 2nd intersection. It's going down hill about 20-30 metres. Or just use google map. This is the best way and shortest way if you carry big luggages with you like us. You don't need to carry your luggages up hill 40 degree up, it's very challenging. Onsen They actually have 3 baths, 2 baths are public men and women, they switched them at certain time. As usual you notice it from the blue and pink flag. There is another one which is private onsen in which you book early when you check in and you have 30 minutes of private onsen. It's semi outdoor but without shower so you, first, take a show in the public onsen and then get inside the private onsen. A little bit ackward but it's alright. On this particular onsen, the water is whitish due to strong content of sulfur. I guess it's near owakudani. Food Absolutely fantastic, it's art and delicious. Come empty, it's big dinner and breakfast. Try Yumesho and Hakone Beer.

Amazing room, beautiful views and both the public and private onsen were fantastic. Our dinner and breakfast were highlights of our trip to Japan.

Fantastic experience staying here with wife and friend. The staff are very polite and professional. The onsens are relaxing. The autumn view from our room was absolutely gorgeous, as was the view from the dining area. The food was excellent, always filling. Quick walk from Gora Station but even quicker to use the next station up if you are taking the cable car to Owakudani/Lake Ashi. We had a very memorable experience here and were really impressed with the cleanliness and comfort provided by the staff.

夕食　朝食が良かった。

Der Ryokan ist eine gute Wahl, wenn man Hakone erkunden möchte. Die Unterkunft sieht von Außen zwar nicht nach einem klassischen Ryokan aus bietet aber ansonsten den gleichen besonderen Service. Das Frühstück und Abendessen besteht aus mehreren Gängen die wirklich sehr sättigend und vielfältig sind. Während unserers Aufenthalts gab es immer andere Gerichte. Die Getränke beim Essen kosten extra, wobei Wasser wahrscheinlich kostenlos wäre. Der Onsen war sehr schön und das Wasser stammt von den lokalen Quellen auf dem Berg Owakudani. Es ist trüblich weiß aufgrund der Mineralien des Wassers. Das Zimmer war sehr geräumig und gemütlich. Das Personal war stets freundlich und hilfsbereit.

What an incredible experience while visiting Japan, the authentic dinner & breakfast were outstanding, and the close proximity to Hakone Ropeway, Lake Ashi and breathtaking views of Mt Fuji was a bonus!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. if you’re lookong for new modern dont go. if you want to experience Japan like the Japanese go here. the staff was so pleasant, the room was so clean and we loved our Onsen stay. Would definitely book again.

I enjoyed my two night stay and my only regret is that I didn't arrive before 6:30pm the 1st night for a wonderful dinner like the one I had on the 2nd night. Location is walking distance from the Gora Train station yet far enough away to feel secluded.

お料理も美味しく温泉も清潔でとても良かったです。壁の模様など箱根らしさが感じられました。

The property is a charming ryoken with simple amenities that is nestled in the mountains with beautiful views from the room. We slept comfortably on futons in our traditional tatami rooms.The kaiseki meals were amazing so didn't miss out on that experience. They have a private onsen during the evening that you can reserve and a men's and women's bath available . We enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere and friendly staff who spoke English.

Very cosy family hotel! Very clean, super amenities (Kose cosmetics), not far from Gora Station (exl. with extremely heavy luggage), more than enough tasty food with super presentation, clean and nice onsen, attention to the detail. Thank you!

価格のわりには夕食、朝食が美味しく、量も多く満足した。

We were a little nervous at first about visiting a ryokan as we wanted to do things correctly and were unsure on how everything worked, but as soon as we arrived all the staff put us at ease and talked us through hows things worked at every stage. We had a great stay, amazing rooms and views and the food was incredible. Brilliant service, thank you so much for making us feel so welcome.

Very unique and beautiful place

Staff were lovely and the food was amazing. The onsens were lovely to relax after breakfast and dinner. I also really liked the midcentury modern architecture and styling, even if some guests might think it's outdated. We had a great time and hope to come back again!

1泊の利用です。スタッフの皆さんはとても親切丁寧でした。 食事はまあまあでした。量は十分です。 温泉は大変良かった！

가성비 너무 좋아요! 석식 조식 훌륭합니다. 비행기 연착 때문에 레스토랑 마감시간에 도착했는데도 석식 차려주셨어요. 온천도 프라이빗 한번 공용탕 한번 했는데, 공용탕도 거의 사람이 안겹쳐요. 왕추천입니다! 고라역에서 걸어갈만 해요!

I stayed with my two kids 9 and 13 and they loved it. Amazing place with lovely people that staff it, we enjoyed being able to book the private onsen for half hour on the first night and although we couldn’t book it for the second (no times suitable as we had a early morning check out) we got to try their public onsen which was great too. The food is fabulous if you are up for trying different things but I would say it’s a lot of food so don’t eat too much for lunch! Both my kids have peanut allergy and one is also allergic to shrimp, they were very accommodating just let them know when you book in. Dinner is at 6pm and breakfast served at 8am, don’t sleep in otherwise they’ll call you at 8.10am to call you to come down! I thoroughly recommend this place 😊

Dinner was outstanding. Enjoyed the private hot spring bath, beatiful “lobby”!

スタッフさんの対応がとても良かったです。8室ほどのこぢんまりとした宿でしたが、ほとんどのお客さんがインバウンドだったこともあってか、レストラも静かで良かったです。残念なのは駐車場が少し狭い点と玄関が地味すぎな点です。
