"Very old traditional Ryokan. Beautiful garden/riverside views. We did not realize that there are no private baths - that was a big surprise but we were only there one night so it wasn't that problematic. Staff were very accommodating and Google Translate made communication very easy."

"Great stay overall from check in to check out! Really enjoyed the accommodations with such a beautiful and large room. Town with restaurants is close by within walking distance and the bus and train stops are very convenient! The open air onsen was lovely. Everything was comfortable and the staff was so kind! Was worried about the shared bathrooms but honestly that was so easy and also close enough to the rooms to not feel like a hassle at all. "

"Very short walk from the Yumoto station, staff were kind and helpful, clean room, breakfast buffet was wonderful, we enjoyed the onsen. Everything was great. We’ll definitely stay there again. "
"Loved this traditional ryokan, such attention to detail with all the Japanese cultural traditions and sweet and kind staff. I loved the whole experience with meals brought to my room, onsen baths, futon bed and private sauna in my room! The perfect relaxing experience in Hakone. Thank you!"
"This is gorgeous hotel. The staff are so kind, courteous and attentive. My room was spacious, with comfortable bed, stunning mountain views, and of course the Japanese heated toilet seat which is a luxury! The food was delicious. I ate both breakfast and dinner in the hotel restaurant and every little dish was so fresh, interesting and served like beautiful art. The onsen baths are wonderful and relaxing and I enjoyed the sauna as well. Short 10 min walk to the little town center and train station. I liked being away from the shopping street. I felt so taken care of and would definitely stay here again."
"One of the best Japanese style hotel I ever stayed. Couldn’t find anything negative about the hotel or the room itself. A bit outside the main town but the shuttle service is quite regular. And if you don’t mind waking it only takes 15 minutes! I will definitely be coming back!"
"Clean and spacious room, the breakfast and kaiseki dinner was excellent, traditional japanese cooking and Michelin-star like presentation.
Very pleasant staff, Ari and all the others, too.
Respectuous, friendly and ready to help.
The onsen was a great experience.
We had a great time and highly recommend this hotel."
