We had a wonderful stay at Yushintei. The traditional Japanese style rooms were absolutely great, spacious, comfortable, and provided an authentic experience. A major highlight was the natural hot spring spa (onsen), which was a fantastic addition to unwind after a long day of walking. The entire hotel was exceptionally nice and clean throughout. Just keep in mind that the local shops and other eateries require a minimum 10-15 minute walk from the property.

This was a great stay, helpful and friendly staff! Nice location!

全体的には満足して宿を出る時に、宿泊税を求められました。チェックインの時にその話は無く、少額ですが、おつりは無い，という話でした。その後も、シャトルバスに200円をきっちり現金で支払わなければならず、，困りました。バスの時間もギリギリで慌てなければならなかったのが些細な事ですが残念でした。

Yushintei in Hakone was an absolute highlight of our Japan trip and comes with our highest recommendation. The staff was exceptionally warm and attentive throughout our entire stay. You feel genuinely welcomed from the moment you arrive – with exactly the right balance of hospitality and discretion you’d hope for from a traditional ryokan. The kaiseki dinner was a culinary experience in its own right. Every course was fresh, carefully prepared, and beautifully presented – you can tell real care goes into the kitchen here. The traditional room itself – tatami floors, fusuma sliding doors, the full experience – set the perfect atmosphere. What stood out most was the private onsen attached to the room. Being able to soak in complete privacy, surrounded by nature, was simply unbeatable. The location in Hakone is also excellent – peaceful, close to nature, yet easy to reach. If you’re looking for an authentic ryokan experience, look no further

Brilliant hotel with the most friendly and helpful staff you could wish for, they really made the whole experience! Great room but would only recommend 1 night as it's not the most comfortable. Loved having our own Onsen. Located slightly out of town but in a lovely area.

Gran experiencia en habitación con tatami y con baño tipo onsen privado.

客室が綺麗で家のようにのんびり出来ました。

There are some big “mega hotels” in the area, but I think staying in one of these would be missing the point of staying in Hakone. Yushintei instead captures the essence of the area. With its private onsens (small, medium and large) and spacious rooms with toki baths, Yushintei makes for a fantastically relaxing stay. The staff were wonderful - they were polite, helpful and very accommodating. The hotel is walkable to and from Hakone-Yamumoto station, but the K bus also runs conveniently close for when you have luggage. One word of caution, if you’re catching an early Shinkansen upon departure from Odawara, don’t rely on an advance Uber booking to get you to the train station. Ours was a no-show at 0535 and none of the local hotels could get any of the local taxi companies to come and pick us up. Instead, we luckily managed to get a taxi via the “Go” app as we ran to the train station. So, best either avoid taxi or make sure you’re already at the train station so you can fall back on the train (the first train of the day would still be cutting it close for the early Hikari Shinkansen!)

Spacious and clean

Súper bonito y relajante

This place is easily the best place we stayed at during our Japan trip, and possibly the best overall experience I've had in a one-night stay ever. You have your own onsen in the room, along with two private onsens in the hotel (free, no reservations required to use). The traditional room is large for Japanese hotel standards, the hotel is a 15-minute walk to Hakone station, and the staff have mind-blowing hospitality! Highly recommend

The hosts makes this entire stay. Very welcoming and friendly. Shoes are placed out in front in the morning before you leave, and the host walks you through the entire place to show you around. I highly recommend this place for couples or small groups. Warning: beds are traditional and on the floor so pretty hard. Shared shower room could be hard if staying multiple nights. We stayed one night so did not effect us as much. Also, everything in the area is a walk! keep this in mind when looking for food or things to do.

部屋も広く素敵でした。何よりスタッフの対応が素晴らしかったです。

Room was beautiful and the staff were extremely polite and welcoming.

スタッフの方は大変ご親切でした。 ミディアムのお風呂のシャワーがゆるく、お湯が出なかったのが残念でした。 洗面台の流しも詰まっていたのか、流れず、時間をおいてから歯磨きをしました。 リーズナブルでお部屋は古いので想定内でした。 駅まで歩ける範囲内で、静かな場所で、川の流れも感じられました。 新しいお部屋で、ご飯付きでまた利用できたら違うかもしれません。 お世話になりました。

Amazing place. Can't recommend this enough

昭和の余韻と、静かな贅沢。箱根温泉・遊心亭♨️ 箱根温泉♨️ 遊心亭 箱根湯本駅から 送迎バスで約10分。 山奥にひっそりと佇む、大人の隠れ宿。 昭和を感じる和室に、ふかふかの布団。 チェックインすると、 和室のテーブルに用意された 箱根の銘菓「ちもとの湯もち」とお茶。 びっくりするほど美味しくて、 この時点でもう心を掴まれる。 掛け流しのお風呂は全部で3つ。 すべてプライベート個室なので、 刺青があっても安心して入れるのが本当に嬉しい。 しかも一晩中入浴OK。 個室に置かれた、 さりげなく高価な椅子。 こういう“本物”へのこだわりが、静かに伝わってくる。 そして、 懐石料理が最高でした。 美しい器に、 お洒落で、丁寧で、ちゃんと美味しい。 ただ食べるだけじゃなく、 愛でる時間。 椅子にこだわりがある宿は、 やっぱり間違いがない。

Wonderful experience, excellent for couples. Please, take the time to learn some japanese and express your gratitude to the hosts.

The staff is so incredibly helpful, the room is very traditional Japanese with Tommy mass and show G screens in its own private bath but there’s also three other hot water spring baths in the general area. Highly recommended

スタッフが非常に丁寧でした
