Lock in a great price for Yoshimatsu – rated 9.4 by recent guests!

to get started.

Food, staff, service, hot baths, and the location are just fabulous!

Michèle, Switzerland

Yoshimatsu is one of the most respectful places in Hakone. Built on the slope of the hill surrounds beautiful Japanese garden with big pond full of Koi carps. Onsens and private outdoor baths are made in traditional Japanese technique and are excellent place to chill out in peace and warmth of water brought directly from volcanic sources. Breakfast and dinner are kind of fiesta for all your senses. Food prepared with utmost accuracy and care is like little precious pieces of art.

Ai, United States of America

Our stay at this hotel was a joint celebration treat for our honeymoon and my birthday and it didn't disappoint. We went for the option of the hot spring in our room as well as breakfast and dinner. More than a stay it was a beautiful experience and we loved every minute. The staff were lovely and treated us with so much kindness during our stay. Our room assistant who served us our incredible meal was again very kind and helpful. The location is lovely, a quiet road in a quiet town. The ryokan is very peaceful and quiet. The hot spring in our room was amazing and we completely relaxed, something we don't often get to do. The meals were incredible. We really felt immersed ourselves in Japanese culture and cuisine during our stay here and if you are looking for something special I would recommend this place.

Laura, United Kingdom

Great service and delicious food. Definitely get the private onsen. First onsen experience and we were blown away by the experience.

Angela, Canada

Everything is perfect. I would definitely stay here again if I visit Hakone again. The receptionist lady speaks very good English and everything went smoothly. We were late for diner (it’s totally our fault) but the hotel even sent a car to get us from the bus stop. Most of all, the food is just amazing! Would highly recommend it.

Yue, Australia

The service is excellent. The food is very delicious. The location is a bit far from the train station, but close to the lake and could see Fuji Mountain from the window.

One of our top picks in Hakone – and a guest favorite.
Surrounded by bamboo trees and hills, Yoshimatsu is a traditional Sukiya-style Ryokan (inn) with beautiful outdoor hot spring baths. Overlooking Mt. Fuji and Lake Ashi, it provides a free shuttle from Hakone Machi Bus Station.

Featuring tatami-mat floors, these classic Japanese-style rooms come with a flat-screen TV and Yukatas (Japanese-style bathrobes). The private bathrooms have a bathtub.

Yoshimatsu is a 5 minute walk from Lake Ashinoko Cruise Station and a 9 minute walk from Lake Ashinoko. It is less than a 15 minute walk from Onshi Hakone Park and an 8 minute drive from Narukawa Museum.

Breakfast and dinner are served to the guest rooms or in the main dining room upon request. These special Kyoto-style set meals are prepared according to the season's freshest ingredients.

Guests can enjoy a relaxing walk around the landscaped grounds and koi ponds. The hotel also provides massage, karaoke rooms and free parking. Free Wi-Fi is available in the lounge.

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.

This property also has one of the top-rated locations in Hakone! Guests are happier about it compared to other properties in the area.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.3 for a two-person trip.

This property is also rated for the best value in Hakone! Guests are getting more for their money when compared to other properties in this city.

What Travelers Love About This Location

“Amazing. For those wanting the traditional Japanese cultural experience, this is the place for you. The food here is an epic experience! The Kaiseki menu is one of the best I have experienced in all my travels through Japan. It is served in your room by the wonderful hostess that will be catering your stay, and is presented like nothing I have seen. The rooms are quite large and have Tatami mats throughout, which are amazingly comfortable on your bare feet. The beds in our room were Futons and are made for you by the hostess. The grounds are beautiful and serine, making our stay very relaxed and calming. Our room boasted a outdoor mini Onsen, just the thing after a long days trekking throughout Hakone. The property is located close to the bus stop and lake Ashi, which gives you many options to get around and see all the major attractions. Be sure to purchase the Hakone free pass, and you will have access to all buses, trains, rope car and the scenic boat cruise, which is really good value. The staff here are truly amazing and bend over backwards to make sure you have a great stay. They operate a shuttle from the bus stop to the property also, just call ahead and let them know when you will be arriving. I highly recommend a stay at Yoshimatsu, you will leave knowing the true Japan. The food alone is mind blowing..”

“Love the Ryokan and that dinner and breakfast were served in our room which gave us privacy and quietness. Dinner and breakfast were beautiful and delicious. Room is very clean and bed is comfortable. We love the open air onsen in our room. Love the staffs taking care of us during our stays and they speak English so communication is not a problem. Location is near lake ashi ...which ryokan staff can drive you there or it's just a short walking distances ...location is most convenience !!! Ryokan has a beautiful gardens. I tried the public bath but sad that it doesn't has a beautiful view. But overall we loved our peaceful relaxing stays for 2 nights. Recommended to stay at this ryokan if you want to experience real Japan ryokan life with traditional Japanese breakfast and dinner.”

“Great traditional ryokan experience”

눉Not on the resort, but a tip -- if you have weird food preferences/allergies, it might be easier to say you're a vegetarian. I eat only kosher fish (tuna, salmon, etc) and it would have just been easier to say I was a vegetarian and don't eat fish.
눇Really amazing service. The check in process was the nicest of any hotel I've ever been to. Also, the family private bathroom was great, and the miso soup in the morning was the best I've ever had.

눉The food was average at best and the lady was always in a rush to move us through the meal.
눇The ambience was amazing. I was in the corner room with a private hot spring.

눉If you aren’t planning on going outside of the Ryokan, then you’ll be fine but if you want to venture out often, taxi is really the only way to do so. So as long as you’re ok with that, as we were, you’ll have no issues!
눇The staff was extremely friendly and the food was so incredibly delicious!! It was the most relaxing part of our overall trip in Japan!

눉Nothing
눇Our stay at this hotel was a joint celebration treat for our honeymoon and my birthday and it didn't disappoint. We went for the option of the hot spring in our room as well as breakfast and dinner. More than a stay it was a beautiful experience and we loved every minute. The staff were lovely and treated us with so much kindness during our stay. Our room assistant who served us our incredible meal was again very kind and helpful. The location is lovely, a quiet road in a quiet town. The ryokan is very peaceful and quiet. The hot spring in our room was amazing and we completely relaxed, something we don't often get to do. The meals were incredible. We really felt immersed ourselves in Japanese culture and cuisine during our stay here and if you are looking for something special I would recommend this place.

눇Everything is perfect. I would definitely stay here again if I visit Hakone again. The receptionist lady speaks very good English and everything went smoothly. We were late for diner (it’s totally our fault) but the hotel even sent a car to get us from the bus stop. Most of all, the food is just amazing! Would highly recommend it.

눇The service is excellent. The food is very delicious. The location is a bit far from the train station, but close to the lake and could see Fuji Mountain from the window.

눇The staff were beyond excellent and the facilities are impeccable. Apart from this the meal we were offered on the evening of our stay was literally a work of art both in terms of taste as well as presentation.
