“Freindly and comfotable stay in a great location with great staff.”

Really freindly and helpful staff, great location with local transport but we also walked some of the way to and from the property which was nice. The fascilites and onsen were great. It had more of a freindly hostel vibe than a fancy hotel vibe which me and my sister really liked.

“Authentic experience but not the most comfortable hotel”

It is nice if you want an authentic experience. The staff is very kind and the location is good.

“Beautiful hotel with friendly staff”

Stunning view of Fuji from room Well connected by bus to Ropeway Friendly staff Traditional Japanese hotel for those who want a more authentic experience

“Lovely traditional ryokan in an amazing area”

Great ryokan with very polite and helpful staff in a super beautiful area with views towards Mt Fuji. We arrived a few hours before checkin time on a very rainy day and the staff kindly moved us to another room which was ready so that we get in the room early which I found very kind and very thoughtful from their end. Also it has a beautiful onsen and the option to upgrade with breakfast which was lovely. There is local bus to the various attractions of the area and a bus stop located in 3 minutes walk from the property.

“Ryokan experience with views of Fuji and onsite onsen”

Beautiful rooms and hotel generally. Amazing to have a view of Fuji from the room when the weather cleared. Nice to have Onsen facilities in hotel for free too.

“A relaxing one night stay. I wish we could have stayed longer.”

A beautiful location with a glimpse of the top of Fuji. The room was big enough for 4 adults and fitted out in traditional style, but modern touches. Beds on the tatami were foldable foam, not the traditional wadded cotton. The onsen was lovely and relaxing, once you are over the shared nudity us English speakers get hung up on. Despite it being the autumn the heating was sufficient to keep us warm. The host was very welcoming and explained everything to us thoroughly. We journeyed up from Odewara Station by rail to Hakone, then the bus up the winding road. Only a short walk from the bus stop to the location.

Perfect location, all the best things were so close. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful.

The Japanese experience.

“great place to stay in Hakone region, near bus station”

In general, the hotel is quite far from Hakone, but it's in the middle of the mountains. If you are planning to hike a bit, visit Lake Ashiko or black eggs place - this hotel is in the perfect location. You can walk to lake Ashiko, next to the hotel is the Hakone bus line stop and it's near Ropeway station. The place is quite old but has really great charm. The room is cozy, had a great view, and was really traditional interior (Ryokan). The hotel also had Onsen (hot springs), not big, but quite cozy and because during our stay it wasn't crowded, so we could enjoy it a lot.
