"The stay was very good. We had a private bath in our room and it was very nice. The private onsen left a bit to be desired. We were unable to utilize the public onsen due to tattoos. The location near the ropeway and ship were amazing. The buffet was above average. Would stay again."

"The property was beautiful, clean, and well-maintained. However, it was overpriced for what it offered. The only amenity was the onsen bath, which had separate facilities for men and women, so we couldn’t enjoy it together as a family. Overall, the experience did not justify the high price, and we felt we didn’t get good value for the money."

"We booked the ryokan with private onsen. It was worth every penny. We got the dinner and Japanese breakfast and was an amazing experience. The give you a yukata slippers and even socks to use. In from of the beautiful building is a garden. Also behind the museum in the corner a beautiful Japanese authentic restaurant, it was just beautiful. It was easy to catch the buses once we figured out which one to take. The outdoor private onsen has the shower next to it and it is also outdoors. The bathroom, toilet is inside. We just loved our stay there. For our second night we opted for the buffet in a sister hotel nearby but we should have stayed for the authentic Japanese dinner for the second time even though it is the same as the previous night. The room was quiet and peaceful. The staff very attentive."

"We stayed 1 night and throughly enjoyed our time. We wish we had stayed longer. We arrived at the property after spending the day exploring Hakone. We had taken the pirate ship across Lake Ashi and then took a bus to the stop right outside the ryokan. We were instructed to remove our shoes and don the provided slippers. The staff warmly greeted us and confirmed our onsen time which we had scheduled the day before. We booked ours for after dinner. We were led to our room which was a very clean traditional Japanese room with tatami. There was also a tv and a patio which was nice! Dinner was not included but it wasn’t too expensive, and it was delicious! I know some ryokan you eat in your room, but I liked that they had a separate dining room. The view outside was all forested so it made for a nice backdrop for our meals. The open air onsen was wonderful and was nice and hot. There are also showers for washing before you enter the onsen. There are no showers in the rooms so we just used the onsen shower during our time slot. The futons in the room were very comfortable and it was the best night of sleep I had on our entire trip. We woke to our amazing kaiseki breakfast ready in the dining room, which was very nutritious and gave us the energy to hike all day. In all we would 100% stay here again. We loved the whole experience and it felt like a true traveler’s inn. Bonus points for Ice, the adorable kitty manager!"
