It was quite a journey from the station to the ryokan. Well worth it. Elaborate Japanese dinner and breakfast. Outdoor onsen. The new part of the lodge is 80 years old. It has been on this spot for 300 years. Quick bus ride to Lake Ashi next morning.

The dinner alone gets a lot of points. Easily some of the best food I have ever had at a ryokan. The Men’s Onsen is a bit small outdoors. It was difficult to get my large western body (5’10”, 185lb) in the outdoor pool. The indoor pool was nice. The biggest problem is the old wooden floors. Upstairs neighbors had kids and I got virtually no rest. The tranquil atmosphere of autumn in the mountains of Japan was disturbed by little giants trampling overhead. Overall, great place, but I hope you get lucky with who stays above you.

This hotel was good-hearted and the food was Japanese artistry. It is an older property and has a very “mountain lodge” kind of feel. The food was interesting but challenging for an unadventurous North American eater. It goes well beyond sushi to escargot and tiny octopi (squids?) over cucumber and a miso sauce. I was impressed with the look of this but I am weak on seafood and so it wasn’t that easy to eat. I expect that it is very seasonal and probably changes to make sure the food is the freshest. The hotel itself is very high up the mountain, with a few walking trails nearby but no other. The hotsprings older facilities but again, overall very nice. It is very close to the bus stop, where the bus comes often from Hakone Yumoto station to Lake Ashinoko and back so that is convenient.

とても残念です

残念の一言です。 古いけれどきちんと清潔にしてあって、部屋も広く、気持ち良いお宿でした。サービスがものすごく良くありませんでした。朝9時まで入浴できると記してありましたが、7時にはお湯が抜かれていました。朝風呂が入れないのなら一言、言って欲しかったです。また、お庭も工事中なので仕方がない、とはいえ、配管や雑に置かれたテーブルなので、全く整えられておらず、非常に見苦しい。大浴場のシャワーは出たり出なかったり、広い脱衣場に安物のドライヤーが一つだけ、真冬に切られている暖房機。 にもかかわらずピカピカの美術回廊。歴史のあるお宿のコレクション自慢はよくわかりましたが、まずはお客の居心地からお金をかけていただきたなと思ってしまいました。最後に旅館を出るとき、こちらからありがとうございましたとご挨拶しましたが、お返事はありませんでした。滞在して悲しくなるお宿は初めてです。

Very nice location (in the hills, near the bus stop, 10 mins from Ashi lake). Easy check-in (although English is nearly non-existent). Good structure, rooms are nice and wide, traditional futon beds, hot fans and air conditioning. Working at the garden since like a year. Did not found any onsen/public bath. A little overpriced for what it has to offer.

残念の一言に尽きます

宿泊するのは初めてですが、２０年以上前には日帰りで何回も入浴していました。 ２種類の温泉が楽しめ、落ち着いた木の浴槽も気に入っていましたので、是非にと思い今回は２泊してみましたが、正直な気持ちを言わせてもらえれば残念の一言に尽きます。 お気に入りの浴室は取り壊されており、露天風呂つきの大浴場は泉質も浴室も以前のような満足できるものではありませんでした。 １０００円／１人の別料金で２種類の温泉を楽しめる貸切りの浴室があると聞き利用しましたが、泉質はともかくとして、狭いうえに清掃も行き届いておらず満足感はありませんでした。 ３００年の伝統を誇る箱根の老舗旅館であれば、もっとしっかりして欲しいと心から思いました。

Nice traditional Japanese inn with onsen

The hotel is nice however the access to its remote location is terrible during winter or early spring when snowing. The only public bus to this Ryokan stopped operating. We had to take very expensive taxi (>8000yen) to reach this place. getting out of it on next day is even harder as there is no taxi coming to this Ryokan and the hotel staff asked us to walk 40mins to the nearest train station! It was still snowing that time and we had 3 kids with us! It is not possible for us to walk this far with big luggage’s as well. Luckily we finally able to get he Hotel staff to send us to the train station in his own car. Really thanks to the 2 young men tnb he didn’t front desk. front desk can’t speakers mich English as well...

Nice Japanese style ryokan

This was my first time staying at an onsen ryokan, but it was much better than expected. The staff was friendly, helpful, and professional. The room was roomier than what I imagined, but I guess I was staying at a place meant for two people by myself. Dinner was excellent, and the breakfast buffet was great too. Dinner was fully Japanese while the breakfast was continental with a heavy Japanese slant. The onsens were great. I'd recommend using the bath in the early afternoon or the early morning before people start arriving if you are not comfortable with stares. The outside bath was a bit small but charming. The only bad thing I can say about this place was the fact that it's a bit old, but that's to be expected from some place that's more than 300 years old. It was very clean though. Will stay again, next time with another person to play table tennis with.

Homely yet well-built ryokan outside the main area

Located just outside the main Hakone area (10 mins by bus from Moto-Hakone), the ryokan is located in a small residential village without any other touristy developments around it. Thus it was surprising to find such a well-developed ryokan, that can cater to large crowds, rather than the usually smaller minshuku, in such an area. Facilities were well developed, with an indoor garden, 2 distinct baths, a small souvenir shop and basically everything you should and would expect from a ryokan. Place was clean and spacious as well. Food too was great. Dinner was kaiseki style with dishes that are visibly Japanese, yet something I have not eaten anywhere else before. Breakfast was a Japanese/Western-style buffet that had a very good range of items.
