Musashino Bekkan

The facility is very clean and has a relaxing atmosphere. The onsens were excellent and definitely a highlight of the stay. However, the kaiseki dinner was somewhat disappointing. The dishes lacked flavour, and many of them had a softer, mushy texture. The pacing of the meal could also be improved — there was about a 45-minute wait between courses, which felt quite long. In addition, there were occasional odours noticeable during food service that slightly detracted from the overall dining experience. The staff were courteous, but at times seemed less familiar with the details of the dishes, which made it difficult to fully appreciate the meal. Overall, while there were some positive aspects, the experience did not fully meet expectations for the price.

Place was anazing right out of a movie! I must vist. The food is great the staff accommodating.

The accommodations were wonderful, beautiful property and onsens. We loved being able to reserve the private tubs, found them very relaxing and beautiful. Meals were wonderful and staff very helpful. If the hill up to the property is a problem, we found taking a taxi or uber very easy and cheap. Highly recommend!

Great service and staff, beautiful location and onsens.

Chambre spacieuse, mais pas d’isolation sonore et thermique. Salle de bain à refaire (humidité) et taches sur les futons pour dormir. A part cela nourriture plutôt bonne, personnel très agréable et accueillant. Onsen prive très bien.

We had a lovely stay at Musashino Bekkan. The place felt very welcoming and the staffs are all friendly. Our experience at this ryokan is complete opposite to all the negative reviews this place gets. The place itself is slightly outdated, but that is part of the charm of this place - as if you are transported back in time. The onsens were lovely and we had a private one in ours. The meals were delicious especially the dinner course and we were able to request a kid friendly meal for our son. Wish we could stay longer and experience more this ryokan can offer. Overall we really enjoyed our stay!

Very classic old school ryokan. Sure it's a little warn out but that's part of the charm. Think Hotel Grand Budapest. in Japan. Food is very classic kaiseki coursed menu, and great. the Onsen (we spent time in all 3-4 of them) were great. The views lovely. One thing to be aware of is that they charge for any child over 4 years old for the full price of an adult person which is contrary to what most tourists in Japan might be familiar with (such as kids under 6 don't pay for trains etc). They also claim to be kids friendly which I wouldn't agree with. They didn't have a crib and were very insensitive to my 1yr old daughters sleep/nap schedule bursting into our room without notice while they were sleeping to get pillows for the other room.

A very unique japanese experience. Amazing dinner and breakfast.

I do not recommend this ryokan as a luxury property. It does not meet the standard of Japanese hospitality (omotenashi: thoughtful, anticipatory care for guests). Although I expected a traditional ryokan to be cooler, our room was abnormally cold even with the heater at 31°C/88°F, an issue other guests also reported in the lobby. We had to sleep in multiple layers, and only a gas heater with a strong oil smell was initially offered before a small electric heater was found, which barely helped. More concerning was the service. The ryokan is on a steep hill and offers a car service. When I asked if they could pick up my pregnant wife at the bottom of the hill, the front desk attendant (the owner) avoided eye contact and refused as this service was “only for check in and check out”, despite the driver sitting idle in the lobby. This occurred immediately after our heating complaint and felt retaliatory. My (emphasis: pregnant) wife waited in 0°C/32°F weather until another hostess intervened and apologized for the entire situation. Other hostesses beside the owner were polite and apologetic of our stay.

Rustic authentic experience

식사가 맛이없음

大浴場がよかった

客室は、角部屋だったので景色も素晴らしく掘りごたつがあって快適でした。食事は部屋食だったので、のんびりと食事ができました😊一番良かったのは、お風呂です🌼大浴場から貸切風呂まで、全部入りましたが、お湯がとても柔らかくて素晴らしいお湯でした(*^^*)接客も良くて、快適に過ごせました😊また、行きたいです🌼

It was incredible. We were greeted warmly by staff, some of whom spoke fluent English, and everything was spotless. The baths were super clean and beautiful. It was such a treat to be able to reserve them for private bath time. The public ones were awesome too. It was fun exploring the different rooms throughout the ryokan. They put a lot of care into the meals and personally bring every course to your room. I think this one is perfect fore couples because of the private baths . It was the perfect relaxing time. Thank you!

Incredible hospitality

I loved it!!!! It was an amazing property. You can access by their free shuttle transportation or by taxi. Walking there is not an option. It is a ver very very long walk and walking up

Tout était parfait, le lieu est magnifique, le repas du soir ainsi que le petit déjeuner servis en chambre sont copieux et réalisés avec des produits frais et locaux. Le service est authentique et très professionnel. Un vrai plaisir d'avoir séjourner au musashino bekkan!

A lovely stay, the staff was all so wonderful, the place was extremely peaceful and the baths were incredible. We enjoyed the massage chair room too, and all the amenities at the Ryokan. Our only downside was the food, it was beautifully prepared and had a wide spread, it just was quite different for our pallete. In hindsight, we may have preferred the beef option. Very unique to try though! The room was clean and beautiful, and we appreciated the smooth check-in process. I would recommend to anyone wanting a unique, relaxing, and beautiful stay in Hakone!

Was a wonderful authentic experience the staff were very lovely and we really enjoyed trying out all the different onsens. We particularly enjoyed the ones that were outside. We really felt immersed in nature. The relaxation room was also excellent and we really enjoyed the massage chairs. Trying the different traditional Japanese foods was a cool experience not all of them were our preferred taste, but was interesting to try. The staff were really excellent and kind.

Musashino Bekkan is a truly amazing place! As soon as you walk in the front door, you know you’re going to have an authentic, Japanese experience. The lobby and rooms were very clean and comfortable. The staff was very friendly and their shuttle was very convenient. If you are at the train station, they offer to pick you up whenever you are ready to return to your room. Our dinner and service was amazing. The food presentation was spectacular! The areas around the property allows for scenic, relaxing walks. The baths were also very clean and comfortable. I would strongly recommend Musashino Bekkan if you are staying in Hakone.
