Just came back from the ryokan trip. It is much better than what I expect with the low price of only 9900yen/pax (booked from Odakyu web). This is my first time experiencing ryokan but it was much more comfortable and enjoyable than I foresee with such a steal. Transport takes a little effort from Hakone-Yumoto station and a 100yen coin... More

This is the first time we are staying in a ryokan. Many new experiences to look forward to like kaiseki dinner, onsen, sleeping on the floor. Paid 56000 Yen for a package from Odakyu that includes RomanceCar tickets and Hakone freepasses. Access -- Take comfortable RomanceCar train from Shinjuku station. Ride from Tokyo about 1.5 - 2 hours. Once reached... More

There are several kinds of spa and they are pretty neat. Bathing in the moonlight is incredible and it’s quite an experience when you’re lucky to watch the snow fall being in the open-air hot spring. On the other hand, if you expect a delicious Japanese dinner there, the chances are good that you’d be dissapointed. The deep fried veggies... More

I paid 34f ,000yen for 2 persons with 2 meals in Nov2010. The dinner was delivered to our spacious SAKURA themed room. The onsen in the annex is not excellent but ok enough. Every staff greeted us whenever we passed by. There are mostly good things about this hotel but only downside is location. 10mins bus from Hakone-Yumoto station. More

We took the JR Shinkansen to Odawara station and changed to a local train which stopped at Hakone Yumoto. The local train is slower but very enjoyable & romantic and we got off at the last stop which was Hakone Yumoto. Crossed the... More

I stayed in this hotel for one night with 2 friends in June 2010. Location: Good. A short bus ride from Hakone-Yumoto station and a short walk from bus stop for Hakone loop. Staff: All the staff we encountered friendly, helpful and spoke a little English. Rooms: We had a Japanese style room which was large, comfortable and very clean.... More

My wife and I booked the hotel through the tourist information office in Hakone, located outside the train station. The price we paid was 12,000 Yen per person including dinner, breakfast, and onsen use in the annex and main building. Room: Our room was in the annex. The annex is attached to the main building and has 12 rooms. The... More

It was our first time to try the hot spings in Japan with my 3 teenaged daughters, and we worried about whether the teenage girls felt embarrased about taking Japanese style Hot Spring. We booked this hotel because they have an in room hot spring bath tub. We arrived in Hakone by Romance Train. People in Hakone don;t speak much... More
