This ryokan is very conveniently located beside a bus stop, which makes transportation easy around the hakone area. They also have a shuttle bus to gora station. We had the room with private onsen, it was so amazing we were speechless! Our half board included kaiseki dinner with crab and japanese style breakfast, which are also 10/10. The whole experience was delicate, the service was attention to detail oriented. The only thing I wish they could improve would be the noise while dining, the sound of the staff walking and handling the plates, as well as one particular staff talking very loudly.

I really enjoyed the rooms at the property. The Ryokan style rooms with paper screen sliding doors and tatami mats made the room feel comfortable as well as the western style beds. The meals were served in the dining hall. Overall the property is quite nice and we felt welcomed on check in and during our stay.

WORST ONSEN EVER!!!

I’ve been to several different onsen in Japan and this is THE WORST one. Atmosphere was good from outside but as soon as I try to walk in into to my room which was located on 1st fl it started to smell in the hallway like a sewer. I can see they were trying to cover ip with somekind of aroma. Once I walked in to my checked room #100 It stinked like pee all over the room. They had air purifiers that made worst so we turned it off. Went to dinner and came back but still had the stinkyness in the bathroom. Not to mention Broken hanksink faucet too. Went to front desk and complaint to change room but they refused to because they were booked completely, only taking about aroma aroma… Spent well enough $550 / night fir the worst ever onsen and got treated this way. DO NOT RECOMMEND to this onsen. I say again DO NOT RECOMMEND.

Dinner was great (pleasant surprise) and it was lovely to have a small hot springs bath/tub off the deck of our room. Bus was our only option, really, that far up the hill - so would plan some cushion into your day for that when getting around.

Stayed in the main building of this Ryokan from the 19th century. Large room, beautiful view and surroundings. Very charming and conveniently close to a bus stop. There is also a free shuttle. Food was wonderful and plentiful, and the staff was able to accommodate for my shellfish allergies. There are some minor downsides, the bathroom I had, with a bath that has a hot spa faucet (not a full private onsen which some rooms/villas on the property have) did have some dark spots. Similarly the self-serve coffee room while nice feels lower end in quality for the price. Drinks at dinner cost extra (no big deal, just weird it is a separate cost), there is a self-serve free happy hour at 9pm but at that point I was in a food coma with no desire for more drink, so it felt like a wasted perk. Overall, a unique experience but one's expectations should align with the age of the property.
