The owner greeted us and provided a tour of the premises when we arrived at 4pm. Dinner was served at 6pm. So it is possible to have a brief onsen if you arrive on time. Note, the onsens are separated by gender and switch each day. One is double the size of the other. So, it worth trying both. It is a truely authentic experience. The cuisine was also traditional Japanese meals. The service was extraordinary. Make sure to book dinner and breakfast in advance. Note, the clientele is mainly Japanese nationals, which a clear indication that this lodging and hot spring experience is are one of a kind. We left with a few kimono that were available to purchase at a reasonable price. We hope to come back as both the owner and his wife, and all the staff were absolutely lovely! Thank you again.

Beautiful and Relaxing Hotel

It was an amazing stay! We were very comfortable in the room and my favorite part was the onsen. It was incredible relaxing after a full day exploring Japan. The staff were respectful and kind and the place was clean. It was a brief stay but I wish I was there longer. Definitely saving this hotel to book again if I'm ever in the area.

It is very nice. They don’t speak English very well but they tried their best. It’s best if you can speak Japanese. The dinner and breakfast was amazing. And there is also an onsen which is great. It is a traditional ryokan so be prepared to take off your shoes. It was a bit annoying to have to wear 2 different slippers for the hallway and the bathroom which was only a few feet from my room. Also since it’s in the forest there were a few bugs but nothing that disturbed my stay. If you want a traditional ryokan experience this was a great place to stay.

This was my first time staying at a ryokan and it was a great experience! The onsen was nice and the futons were very comfortable. The only thing that made me uncomfortable was that my friends and I seemed to be the only foreigners staying at the time, so we got a lot of curious looks. But the employee who checked us in spoke English, so I'm sure they do get foreign guests rather frequently. Overall, it was a relaxing stay.

The property is tucked away in a quiet, and peaceful area. We love the design of the ryokan and the room was one of the most comfortable we experienced although my wife did wake me up in the middle of the night because there were two GIANT but harmless spiders that appeared. The onsen was very enjoyable but also was very hot, the hottest we have experienced. If you're getting to this place by public transportation, I will warn that you will have to walk a little while along the side of a winding highway. I definitely recommend having your luggage sent to this location. The service was good but not the most welcoming. It was a great value and we would definitely go back.

This is a beautiful older mountain traditional ryokan. We enjoyed our stay and the onsen. I think having the onsen switch is a great idea... It allowed everyone in our party to try both sides. The Japanese breakfast was super tasty and lots of different items. We didn't have a car, so took trains and a bus to get there.

Property and location were beautiful and the Onsen felt private. One small warning, the property is up a very steep hill so if you're relaying on public transit the location is a bit difficult to get to. But well worth it.

The hotel is set in a forested ambient and is very quiet and peaceful with the room overlooking trees. However, it is not convenient to access the hotel and we had to carry our heavy luggages from car park up a slope walking on slap of stone to reach reception.

Nice service and old hotel

Location is remote. From the Hakome-Yumoto station we waited a taxi for 1 hour then we decided to take a bus. Taking about 30 mins then walk the hill for about 10 mins. The hotel is old and the equipment's and room was old. The hot spring was very good. The around hotel was very quiet and with a lot of nature.

This place is out of the way, tucked in somee beautiful hills. Be prepared for a walk if you don't take a taxi or have a car. It's worth it. I had no problems communicating with the staff, and they were super helpful. I messed up my bookings and they were able to get me in a day earlier.

This property was in a nice area, quiet, walkable to eating establishments, albeit via a road with no sidewalk, public transport is relatively close and the POLA Art museum was a standout. However, the property itself is in need of some care. We, a western family of 5, chose the Japanese traditional room - we were prepared for shared facilities, sleeping on futons, had no problems with the public bath, etc - but the room has some deeply entrenched mould that made it unpleasant just to be in. We are not sure if that section of the property is older and do understand that it is on top of an onsen, so the whole region is quite moist, but, wow. Additionally the shared amenities were not exactly odour free and the only basins for teeth brushing were in a public corridor almost in the reception area... Which also happens to be where the washing machine was and also right in front of our door.

It's a little hard to find. If you come from Gora by bus get off at the Senkyoromae stop. Look back in the direction you came and you'll see a sign for Nakamura wriiten in hiragana なかむらwith an arrow directing you around the corner and up the hill. After going what feels to be 300 metres up the hill you'll find it on the right, tucked away in the greenery. It's well worth the hike.

Lovely property and friendly staff but the overall building needs some renovation - especially the onsen part and water area (toilets, sinks and comon bathroom area. Not hot water in the sink...!). Dinner and breakfast were typical Japanese Ryokan style meals. Decent assortment in the set menu. Not sure if you can ask for different menu. But it was good. Reception staff was helpful and allowed us to checking early which we really appreciate. They speak english too so perfect for travelers. Room size was big enough and very traditional. Traveler will appreciate the style. Still with a bit of renovation here and there I would have given 4 or maybe 5 stars. But it seems that this place stayed in the 90's.

This is a true"little (Japanese) hut in the mountains" with great onzen experience! You just have to embrace the whole experience. If you do, this is definitely 5 stars! If not, maybe look for a more westernized hotel instead. Just one caution, this mountain resort is up on a winding mountain road around .5-1km from bus stop "sengyoro mae". If you have heavy luggage, it's worth using baggage service at Hakone Yumoto station. I hauled it up the hard way and that was a sauna experience in itself, even in winter!
