Well worth the price for the private bathing area. Beds and room was exactly as described on website.
JapanThe rooms are big, there is a wardrobe to accommodate your clothes. Cute Yukata to choose to go to the Onsen and breakfast.
JapanThe staff can speak tagalog I was surprised. It's great value for the money. It's a clean hotel.
JapanThe property is conveniently located near the train to one of the main highlights of hakone ... the ropeway.... and easy access to transportation around hakone
JapanI had a big room and the staff were all very nice and accommodating. They were very polite and can speak English and Japanese fluently. The free coffee/choco drink in the morning and evening was a plus! Most importantly, it is pretty close to the station and tourist spots. Btw, the breakfast was good, very traditional Japanese and I loved it especially on weekends. I will definitely consider coming back and stay there. My friends and family were envious of me when they saw my room.
JapanStaff were attentive, despite that i have trouble understanding japanese.
AustraliaFront desk staff speaks English and are supportive.
United States of AmericaFree coffee bar, comfortable lobby. Very pleasant staff. Convenient location with lots to do around. The bathtub in the room was large and deep, big enough for a good soak away from the public onsen.
United States of AmericaEverything was great! Comfortable beds, big room and bathroom, friendly staff, clean, wonderful onsen, and all at a great price! Also, the Gora Brewery was really close to the hotel and was awesome.
United States of AmericaThis was in a lovely mountain setting, and had the added bonus of having a hot springs bath on the premises (separate men's and women's). Even though a recent typhoon had washed out the actual hot springs, the hotel kept the baths running with hot water which was almost as good. The spa area was clean and had nice soaps and lotions. The room was large and well equipped. It even had a mini fridge and teapot. Free coffee machines in the lobby was a plus. The staff was very helpful.

-
- 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.
