Located about a 5-7 minute walk from the closest bus stop. We didn't spend too much time here as we were spending only 1 full day in Hakone, but got to make use of the many public baths that the ryokan offered. They have 3 private baths that are available on a first come first served basis that are covered "outdoor" baths, an indoor public bath, and wooden tubs located on the balconies of some room styles. We stayed in one of the more traditional Japanese-styled rooms and loved the decor of the room. Additionally, it was one of the most spacious rooms that we had stayed at during our time in Japan. My favourite of the baths was the private balcony bath, as the Ryokan supplies a lemon and a cedar block to add some fragrance to the bath, and it has a nice ambience overall. There is also a pull down set of blinds located on the balcony that are helpful in getting some privacy. I liked the outdoor private baths as well, however they were quite mosquito-y at nighttime. I would recommend bringing a face mask for sleeping as the window covers do not block out much light, and the sun rises quite early (5-5:30am) in May. We did not try the dinner as it was quite expensive (~9000 yen per person from what I can remember), however we were able to find a really tasty sushi restaurant in town that we went to instead. We would definitely come here again, but would try to stay a bit longer next time. :-)

What a great experience. Our only wish is that we had booked for an extra night!

Cozy ryokan with a traditional japanese feel. Location is good near Kowakidani station to take you around Hakone area. Shuttle bus available from hotel. We liked that the ryokan was a bit away from the ”main” hotel areas of Gora/Hakone-Yumoto, tucked in in the forrest but still it was easy to get around. Very nice hotel facilities & calm / relaxing atmosphere. Perfect to recharge batteries between the intense big cities. We enjoyed the private onsens (rarely fully occupied) and the traditional kaiseki dinners. The room was amazing, clean and with own private bath and a nice interior. The service of the staff is great and they really put in an extra effort to try to give you the best stay possible.

The view from the balcony and the private onsen was amazing!

お風呂の湯がとても熱くて入れない所がありました。そこは残念😢でした

Hot baths amazing. We were in a Western-Japanese style room. Huge space and beautiful views of mountains from the room.

Superb facilities. So many onsen- they had three private ones and two shared ones that rotated between men and women each day so you got to try a different one. I was there in peak season and had no issues getting into any of them. The grounds were so relaxing and the rooms so zen. It was a two minute walk from the bus stop that links you to the place you can get shinkansen or do the hakone loop and two mins from a 7/11! I bought my food there rather than eating at the hotel. I had the single room with western bed and it was so comfy. Totally recommend this place for a relaxing stay in the mountains

Dette er 10 av 10 om man søker et avslappende opphold i Hakone. En opplevelse for livet!

Excellent experience. Very supportive staff. The team makes everything to bring a sensational experience. I would recommend it with no doubt!

I didn’t want to leave. We had a private bath on our balcony, the views were breathtaking and the food was great!

The room was very spacious and very nice onsen.

The staff was very friendly and very helpful. The onsen is lovely, clean and warm. It is an easy walk to the Hakone Open Air Museum which is fantastic. I would definitely stay again.

The rooms were very spacious and clean, alots of amenities- tea, coffee, yogurts, ice cream, complimentary snacks. The private baths were included in the hotel price. The evening meal was a great experience and delicious

We had such a lovely relaxing stay, perfect after a week of walking round Tokyo. Beautiful peaceful balcony with our own bath - and managed to visit the private onsen too. Staff were lovely - would definitely come here again!

The room was by far my favourite on the entire trip. It was comfortable and spacious and having access to sauna and baths on site was incredible. Wish I had stayed longer

Beautiful place to stay and kid friendly.

Our one night stay here was amazing and the location was great. The free robes and toiletries was a great touch. The rooms felt very Japanese and our balcony view was great to wake up too. As a travelling family of 7, the children absolutely loved the Hakone Open Air Musuem, which was a short walking distance away. The free shuttle bus service offered by the property to the train/bus station was really helpful too.

Beautiful spa, nice location within walking distance to hike in woods with waterfall and hokone open house museum, it was nice to have room with private onsen when traveling with kid to access lower bath temperature, onsen is very hot for kids. Food was a bit tricky for young kid from Sweden but a 7/11 is nearby to complement the hotels food, amazing food for grown ups

Excellent open air spas!

Perfect place to relax with beautiful views from the room’s balcony. They have a shuttle bus to and from the train station. Staff was very helpful. Food is very traditional and plentiful. We have enjoyed the private onsens.
