The staff were friendly and polite. We had in-room dinner which was exceptional. My husband being a chef, he could see the amount of time and effort that was put into each dish.

Naomi Japan

The staff were very nice and helpful. The staff accommodated all our request really fast. The rooftop onsen was small but it was pretty good, beside there is a big bath too. Overall i would stay here again.

Lalit Japan

The location is good, only 10mins away from the train station and bus station. The room is the largest one we’ve ever lived in Japan. The hot spring is good，especially the outdoor one.

Beichen China

Good location, outdoor onsen was very nice and hot, and it had a view over the mountains. We had dinner included - and it was served in the room (Japanese style), many many dishes! The food was presented beautifully, and it was an experience to try the Japanese way of eating and their food. After dinner, they made our beds (futons) - comfortable to sleep in.

Lena Sweden

The room and hotel its self was gorgeous! Right next to river.

Josh United States of America

Lloyd United States of America

Anonymous Canada

The roof onsen was a great experience. The ground floor onsen was basic but functional. Service was excellent and everything was clean and tidy. Having a couch in our room was a nice surprise!

Veikko Japan

Perfect location. 7 min walking from Hakone-Yumoto train station and bus stops. Everything you need for relaxing weekend: onsen (hot spring) indoor and outdoor, beautiful nature around (awesome view from the window), kind staff, tasty breakfast (should be ordered in advance), kettle and tea in the room to enjoy fully a calm evening after onsen. Wi-fi is only available in the lobby!

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.
