Ryokan Mizunoto
250-0406 Kanagawa, Hakone, Kowakudani 492-23, Japan – Good location – show map
The staff at the facility was helpful and made the experience better. The outdoor Onsens were clean peaceful and amazing. I would have enjoyed staying additional days. The dinner and ramen was amazing. The rooms were big and comfortable. It was a relaxing stay and enjoyed by our entire group.
United States of AmericaWe loved it here. The onsen was great and we really enjoyed our private hot tub on the balcony. It's an easy walk from the closest bus station and you can walk to 7-11 and restaurants. The free steam buns and ramen was basically our dinner for two nights. We had pretty lame/foggy/rainy weather, so really used the onsen a lot. It was a great 2 day stay away from the hustle of Tokyo. If you're used to American breakfasts, the breakfast provided is a little challenging, but that's part of the experience too - try something new!
JapanThe baths, the meals, the facilities were great! I checked out all five baths, and all of them were experiences I won’t forget!
United States of AmericaEverything! It exceeded our expectations. Facilities, room, food, amenities, service. Everything was beyond our expectations.
United States of AmericaWe had a room with a balcony bath and it was amazing. A little pricey, but I think worth it, since I have a tattoo and can't use the public baths. Dinner and breakfast had so many options and were very good (though I would be careful if you're not an adventurous eater) Be prepared if you're going to walk up to the hotel from the train station. It's uphill and I only saw a bit of sidewalk to walk on, so its slightly dangerous. I'd recommend taking the shuttle bus up, it runs at certain times, so contact the hotel to find out more. It helps to know a little japanese too.
United States of AmericaThe dinner and breakfast were the highlights- had around a 5-6 course meal! While the staff is limited in English, they were very helpful and tried their best! Hot springs were a first come-first serve basis, but was not hard to find a time for you to get a free spot. If you want a traditional ryokan experience, I highly recommend to come here! Also free buns and ramen at certain periods of time!
United States of AmericaAuthentic onsen experience with modern conveniences, sounds oxymoronic but true.
United States of AmericaDinner and breakfast included. Outstanding quality, very delicious. Super relaxing onsen.
JapanI like everything about the property! Worth every spent at this cost.
ThailandThe meals were absolutely excellent. Breakfast especially is not to be missed. The private Onsens is a nice treat

This property is a ryokan, which is a type of traditional Japanese Inn. Learn more
-
- What's a ryokan?
- A ryokan is a traditional Japanese inn. They usually feature bathhouses, multicourse dinners, communal spaces where guests can relax, and rooms with woven-straw flooring and futon mats. Like hotels, a range of ryokans (from budget to luxury) is available. What originated centuries ago as a free rest house for long-distance travelers has evolved into a popular destination for relaxation surrounded by therapeutic mineral springs.
-
- What are the big differences between a ryokan and a hotel?
- Unlike a hotel, where the guest room is just a place to turn in for the night, a ryokan is more than just a place to sleep. In Japan, many travelers journey long distances to relax in a hot spring bath and feast on a traditional multicourse dinner – staying in a ryokan is an experience in and of itself. These ryokans typically have Japanese-style rooms with woven-straw floors and futon beds (no Western beds and carpeting). You should also remove your shoes at the entrance of the room, or before you enter it. Modern ryokans might serve buffet-style meals in a dining area, while more traditional ryokans tend to serve in-room dinners. Some ryokan rooms have a private bathroom, and others might just have a shared bathroom.
-
- What's a kaiseki meal?
- Kaiseki is the culinary highlight at a ryokan, embodying beautifully presented dishes that delight both the palate and the eyes. Every one of the 10 to 15 dishes that make up the multicourse Japanese dinner is prepared in a way that highlights the unique textures, colors, and flavors of featured seasonal ingredients and local specialties. Most commonly served at special restaurants and ryokans, a traditional kaiseki dinner usually consists of bite-size appetizers, fresh sashimi (raw fish, like sushi), soup, grilled fish or meat, a hot-pot dish, rice with miso soup, and a small dessert.
-
- What's a yukata?
- A yukata is a casual summer kimono or robe, typically made of light cotton. Many ryokans provide guests with yukata robes during their stay. In some areas, it's common to see guests strolling through the neighborhood in their yukatas. The loose-fitting garment is perfect for sleeping and relaxing in.
-
- How should I wear a yukata?
- First, put your arms through the sleeves like you would with a robe. Take the right side of the yukata and wrap it across your body. Then, take the left side and wrap it over the right, making sure that the robe is level at your ankles. Pinning the yukata closed on the right side, wrap the sash around your waist a couple of times and then tie a bow. Generally, the bow is tied around the waist for women, and the hips for men.
-
- What's a Japanese hot spring (onsen)?
- Onsen (literally "hot spring") is a term often used to refer to both the mineral-rich hot springs and the bathing facilities that house them. Whether the bath is public or private, gender-segregated or mixed, indoor or outdoor, soaking and unwinding in the soothing geothermal waters at an onsen is a millennia-old custom deeply embedded in Japanese culture.
-
- What's standard bathing etiquette?
- At a bathhouse—onsen or not—guests are expected to remove all clothing in their respective changing rooms before entering the bathing area. As a common courtesy, once inside the bathing area, guests should wash and rinse their bodies thoroughly before quietly stepping into the hot water. Whether you relax in solitude or converse softly with others is up to you, but guests should always be mindful of others. Wash towels are often used to cover one’s private areas while walking around. However, note that you should not put towels in the water.
-
- Why are tattoos not allowed?
- While tattoos have become more popular among Japan's youth, many Japanese people still associate them with outlaws and organized crime. Nowadays, not all businesses ban customers with tattoos, but you might still be refused admission to bathhouses and swimming pools. Small tattoos can be covered up using waterproof bandaids, but keep in mind that each property has the final say on what’s acceptable.
Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 8.0 for a two-person trip.
