I only liked the privacy of my onsen

The view from the rooms was great

Good size Japanese style room with private onsen. Room very clean and comfortable. Public onsen well maintained and a very relaxing experience. Front desk staff very helpful and explained all the available services and how to use the public onsen.

“10000/10, so romantic, relaxing and affordable.”

Do yourself a favour and STAY HERE whilst in Hakone. If I could rate it 1000/10 I would. We visited from Sydney for 2 nights and have had the most incredible time. I really couldn’t recommend this Ryoken more!! Location: Amazing location in the mountains, short walk from Gora station which is one of the main ones. The walk is all all steep uphill but Hakone is pretty much hills everywhere so it is what it is. The hotel has a super efficient shuttle service though so definitely use that especially when you arrive with your suitcases (although we walked a few times without our suitcases and it was only 10mins max). Shuttle runs 3 times every hour (when stayed there it was on the hour, 20mins, 40mins). Instructions for how to get shuttle are super clear on website. Ryoken & Staff: So peaceful and romantic. The rooms were so spacious (bigger than Tokyo) and had everything you needed inside. Bed super comfy and great mood lighting too. Staff were so so friendly and accomodating, don’t speak much English but we’re visiting their country so that makes sense! You get given these adorable kimonos to wear throughout your stay and shoes. Amenities: Super happy with amenities. Complimentary tea, coffee, happy hour drinks. They also have a private jacuzzi and bedrock bath you can book - highly recommend both. You can also book in a masseuse which I did too, they come to your hotel room. Food: Oh my god I don’t know where to start. The food was INCREDIBLE. We had dinner and breakfast included with the stay. It was very traditional Japanese style so don’t expect toast etc. It is all so thoughtfully and mindfully created, the chefs are sooo lovely and the quality is insane. The courses included of around 7 dishes and it was such a pleasure being able to experience this food. I forgot to tell them I had a dietary requirement (my own fault), and the next night they absolutely catered for me it was so so sweet (give them a few days notice if you have a dietary!).

Staff is very kind and helpful

Location great, enjoyed the onsen on the balcony, very quiet location.

“Disappointing Breakfast”

Clean and comfortable overall. Afternoon drinks/snacks were nice. Rooms were a lovely comfortable size, which isn't common in Japan.

nice experience! Having a private bath in the room was amazing. The dinner and breakfast were some of the best during my vacation in Japan. Easy to find and good for stay if you go to Hakone for 1-2 days.

Absolutely lovely place to stay! We were welcomed with a complimentary drink. Staff were so helpful and kind. Room was beautiful with great view. Bed was so comfortable. Breakfast was really good and onsens were lovely - both outside and inside! Thank you!!
