The facility and staff were wonderful. They have a public bath separated by men and women with all the amenities you would need, the baths aren’t big probably wouldn’t fit more than 3-4 people at a time. But due to many rooms having their own bath plus the private ones we can reserve it is never crowded. Only once did I see another guest using the bath when I went during my 2 night stay. The service was great, most staff spoke enough English communication was no problem. The room was roomy and had a wonderful view of the surrounding mountain area. The food was the only thing that I thought was mediocre, it was well presented but the food itself was pretty basic and the same every morning and night so if you’re staying for more than 2 nights be prepared to eat the same food for each meal. I was a solo traveler and during dinner they put me in a private stall it was nice to have a little area to myself. Overall a wonderful experience!

Absolutely amazing. We booked the villa with private indoor and outdoor onsens and the space was fantastic. Like a little house, a living room, bedroom, bathroom, bath area next to the indoor onsen, outdoor deck with onsen, and a little patio kind of area outside the living room. Extremely clean and cozy, and the staff made us feel so welcomed immediately. They prepared little honeymoon surprises like a letter, a dessert, and were so sweet always. The food was wonderful and so delicious, we loved having specific dining times and even breakfast was so satisfying. We chose the Japanese breakfast and it was sooo yummy. Everyone working there is so kind, helpful, and there seems to be a lot to do! It is also right in front of the bus stop, super convenient. We took it from Hakone-Yumoto and then took it to Odawara to catch the Shinkansen. Thank you so much for making our honeymoon and first Christmas as a married couple so special. We can’t wait to come back one day!

I stayed here for a night and it was an amazing experience! I had a room with a private outdoor open-air bath which runs 24/7. With the stay I also had dinner and breakfast. The staff were very courteous, spoke very good english, and even gave us a tour of their amenities & facilities. The dinner tasted great, however, it took extraordinarily long. What could've been a one hour kaiseki meal turned into two hours, with probably one hour of waiting most likely due to the large number of people they needed to serve. The breakfast was quick and easy though. Beyond this, the staff are very polite and I would definitely recommend and come back here again!

The exterior of the Ryokan was under construction and was completely covered in scaffolding. When checking in there was construction noise which really disrupted the pleasantness of staying here. I was not informed of the construction. One of the onsens was also closed! The Ryokan is nice but the construction and closures really affected my enjoyment of my stay
