Overall was wonderful!! All Ryokan staff were kind, polite and friendly. Hot spring was nice as well as a wonderful dinner and breakfast. We found the beautiful river along the Ryokan and enjoyed the view and sound from our room's window.
JapanStaff was remarkable! They tried on every level to accommodate us. The breakfast was superb! The location is great, not too close to the town but within a 3 minute walk. It is next to a river that will lull you to sleep at night. I will definitely return and send my friends because I am assured that the staff will take very good care of them.
United States of AmericaGreat little Ryoken. Staff were so nice! Breakfast and dinner were amazing. Rooms were so clean, even the basic room was really nice. highly recommend. Close to train station.
New ZealandClose to the train station and the bus stop, but the neighborhood is pretty secluded and tranquil. Loved the hot spring. Cleanness is superb. AMAZING breakfast.
TaiwanAmazing traditional Japanese experience, one of the highlights of our trip!
IrelandFor us the best aspect were the women who worked there. They were warm, helpful and very competent. Location was convenient to train and bus station but not really near the lake and Mt Fiji views if that’s important to you. Room was comfortable but only had a toilet and sink. To shower you had to use the onsen (public bath). Excellent traditional breakfast.
United States of AmericaGreat location, only a few minutes walk from Hakone-Yumoto station. The lady host was the best I've ever had in all my travels, she insisted on us calling her "Auntie" in Japanese. Both the public and open-air baths were great.
United Arab EmiratesThis place completely letoy exceeded my expectation- the photos don’t do the lovely rooms justice. This was the only hotel we “splashed out” on for our three week Japan trip and I’m so glad we did. The onsen was lovely (would recommend booking the private rooftop if you are traveling as part of a couple), and the location is ideal- close to the station but away from the busy Main Street. All the staff were also so friendly and welcoming.
IrelandThe experience of the traditional ryokan was great. It was our first time and it was amazing... Especially because of the extremely kind staff and owner. The Japanese breakfast was very good and the breakfast room was magical. :-) instead of the private shower we could use the hot spring onsen and showers there which was great.
ItalyWonderful friendly people, excellent breakfast, comfy bedding , enjoyable onsen

-
- 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.
