“Great, special traditional Japanese hotel”

Great, special traditional Japanese hotel. The room was perfect, wonderful view, the team was welcoming and the breakfast was unique and one of a kind of an experience . The onsen was also wonderful ( we took a private one)

“A beautiful ryokan experience - the room, the onsen, dinner and breakfast! Loved it”

It was perfect! The room was beautiful Japanese style room with a view to the forest/garden and waterfall. We kept the windows open an we enjoyed the sound of the waterfall and birds. Absolutely magical. The futon bed was comfy, and we also enjoyed the private onsen. Oh and the best part was the dinner! It was like fine dining experience, very delicious and interesting food. And also breakfast! It was such a unique experience - all of it together! The staff was very professional and welcoming. We loved our stay at this ryokan, and we felt very relaxed afterwards.

“Treat yourself and recharge!”

The authentic experience, with a great service and brilliant food!

Good option to rent the onsen for 1 hour. Nice, clean rooms, beautiful surroundings , hospitable staff

“Great hotel and onsen but very challenging food”

Gorgeous onsen, with 2 privates baths for those with tattoos, and several different public baths. Sleeping on the tatami was fun, and they provided yukatas for the guests. Room and bathroom was very clean. Sashimi was very fresh.

“Beautiful onsen, very traditional”

The onsen, which is exactly as seen in the pictures!

“Oké but needs renovating”

It’s a very nice location and the room itself was clean and very big (for Japanese standards). The food was also very well taken care off and the staff was friendly.

“A perfect place to relax and submerge yourself in a traditional japanese experience”

The hotel was located right next to the bus stop, close to convenience store and other interesting locations, such as Ryukozan Choanji, Sotoshu Hanano Temple. The highlight was its picturesque free onsen, which could've been visited almost 24/7 and japanese style breakfast and dinners. The surrounding garden was also very nice. The rooms were traditional, which was also a nice experience, including traditional clothing that you could wear throughout the hotel. It was an amazing place to relax in rural Japan.

It was well located and big.

“Lovely stay at a ryokan with private onsen, an experience everyone should try at least once”

Staying in a traditional Japanese room with a private onsen was such a great experience. The room was cozy, featuring a private annex and a lovely bath. I must say, the water was really hot! We actually had to cool it down a bit with the hose they provided. I highly recommend having a private onsen; not only can you regulate the temperature to your liking, but it’s much more comfortable since you have to be completely naked. We were well-received throughout our entire stay. It was a bit strange for us to have someone constantly serving us—they escorted us to our room, served us tea, dinner, and breakfast, and even prepared and cleared our futon beds. Despite being on the floor, the futons were very comfortable to sleep in. They also provided yukatas for us to wear. The kaiseki meals were beautifully presented and offered a unique experience that everyone should try at least once

“Wonderful!”

Everyone here is really welcoming, polite. We had a Japanese style room and we loved it. All the pastries and appetisers left everyday for us were so so delicious, I’ve tried to buy some at the stores but I couldn’t find them (such a shame). We loved so much the onsens that we booked a private one for us. The menus are exquisite!

“Wonderful stay, flawless service, would stay again.”

The staff were incredible, the private onsen in our room was a delight to come home to, the gardens were beautiful.

“I will be returning in the future.”

The traditional breakfast is a little "out there" for foreign travelers, very different than your traditional North American breakfast. Dinner was delicious and varied. Rooms are gorgeous and comfortable, the staff is friendly, polite and helpful. They speak good English for those who have a limited Japanese repertoire.

“If you're looking to treat yourself in Hakone, this is the place.”

Wow, the hospitality here was off the charts! We felt so taken care of. And what a beautiful room with beautiful facilities! The food was so gorgeously presented and thought out and delicious too - our dinners were probably some of the nicest meals we've ever had. The portions were generous and we loved getting to experience traditional Japanese breakfast in our yukata. The room was more expensive than we would usually go for, but as meals were included, if you're in need of some pampering, we think it was totally worth every yen. The staff were so helpful and attentive and were very patient with our limited Japanese. Many staff also speak English if that's a concern, but I appreciated that they willing to speak a slow Japanese with me instead of immediately defaulting to English. Location was nice and central to many art museums and the bus stops right out front of the driveway. I have tattoos so could not use the main baths, but really enjoyed the private bookable baths. They were an additional fee of 2,200 yen for 45 min. What a special stay!

As expected in a traditional Ryokan, the food was at times challenging for western tastebuds, nonetheless exceptionally good in quality. Service was very attentive. We booked a tradidional Japanese room, which was exactly as we had hoped and expected. The futons were laid out, while we were at dinner and were very comfortable. We especially loved the outdoor onsen, which was very relaxing.

Very good meals Friendly staff

“Our experience at Senkyoro was excellent: a beautiful room, delicious food, amazing onsens and very kind staff members!”

Everything! The onsens were incredibly amazing and ideal places for resting and relaxing. Also the room was very good: everything was very well curated.

“WONDERFUL”

The service was wonderful, the food was amazing (we gave them a hard time with us eating Kosher and no raw fish) - and there were so many dishes!! The presentation was stunning. The Onsen was fabulous!! The room was spacious and lovely, and the location is wonderful - a short bus ride to Ashi Lake! The bus stop is just by the Ryokan, and there was a Lawson with a 5 mineut walk. Loved every mineut!

“Our dream getaway at Senkyoro”

Our stay at Senkyoro was an absolute dream. We enjoyed everything, from the wonderful setting surrounded by woodland, to the traditional and charming building and facilities with a modern touch. Staff were incredibly accommodating and kind, our meals were the best ones we had in our whole trip to Japan. Our stay at Senkyoro and onsen experience was beyond our expectations. We will not hesitate to come back when in Japan.

Food was amazing. Staff was super polite. Onsen was good. Rooms are clean. Yard is beautiful. Very good hotel for the price.
