Ryokans in Hakone

"Room was huge, spotless, and nice. Was a little perturbed by the number of giant hornets I saw, but that's the mountains in fall for you. Really historic and beautiful place. Food options within the hotel were strange and annoyingly expensive - I get that it's a 5 star hotel but not everyone wants to shell out a ton of money to eat there and it's one of the furthest hotels from the main parts of town so it feels exploitative of a captive audience. Food was Ryokan style, which was fine, especially if you're looking for that kind of service. I've stayed in cheaper onsen Ryokans that had more convenience regarding food that didn't feel like I was getting baited."

"Excellent service and an absolutely amazing property! Such a surreal experince, highly recommend! "

"Clean room, courteous and cheerful staff. "

"Good hotel near Gora - you can take shuttle or walk 15” up some steep sets of stairs if you are up for some exercise; most common areas look newly updated in last several years; nice private Onsrn on room balcony was used a lot!"

"The staff were lovely and the setting is so peaceful. Book a lake view room. We did and it was so worth it as we could see Mt. Fuji from our room."

"Great room and a beautiful resort! The buffet breakfast and dinner get repetitive after the first day, so two nights in Hakone feels just right. The highlights were the yukata and the onsen—super relaxing. The public onsen, in particular, was fantastic!"

"The Ajisai onsen Ryokan exceeded our expectations. The onsen is great especially since it is private . The most unforgettable experience we had was the dinner. The presentation of kaiseki course was simple and yet very entertaining. The staff were so great of course."

"Beautiful hotel and grounds. Very peaceful setting. Excellent customer service. Our 4th floor room with hot tub was quiet and had a lovely view of the fall leaves. "

"Excellent onsen and breakfast ! "
