Oct 17, 2025

I was really excited to stay here, but it didn’t live up to the price. Breakfast isn’t a buffet but a fixed menu at a restaurant, and you have to book a time in advance so when we checked in late, only 7:30 or 10:30 were left. I asked for a vegetarian meal, but it wasn’t respected, so I had to skip breakfast. Later I found my terrace hadn’t been cleaned and there were dead bugs in the onsen. Beautiful place, but the service and attention to detail were disappointing.

Great luxury Japanese style hotel. Convenient location to access Hakone area via ropeway. Easy to get to with hotel shuttle from Odawara. We did half board. Food and breakfast was great and worth the experience. Wine/sake option are very good. Easier for us that eating was in the restaurant.

We had an excellent stay at this luxurious ryoken. Having the onsen in our room was amazing. It was worth the splurge. One consideration is they allow families which is great. However when we were relaxing in the tub we had a young family next to us, and were surprised to hear children’s loud chattering when quiet would have been preferred.

Quite simply the nicest hotel I have ever stayed in. The service was impeccable and everything was spotlessly clean.This felt like a holiday within a holiday. My only regret is that we could not stay there longer.

Hotel staff was amazing. It was so clean and so beautiful. Best part was the private onsen. It was cloudy so we couldn’t see the mountain view. If I rebooked I would just get the cheapest view as the balcony view isn’t guaranteed.

Luxe and elegant!! 10/10

My husband and I booked 2 nights here as apart of our Japan honeymoon. Only bad part was we didn’t want to leave!! The property, the amenities, the staff, everything was exceptional. The private onsen on our balcony had a beautiful view of the mountains, yet so much privacy. We were able to dine in a private room for same of our meals, and that made it feel extra special. The food was innovative yet traditional Japanese, it was truly interesting and enjoyable. The guest lounge had amazing selections of beverages ranging from nespresso drinks to Japanese whiskeys, and fun little snacks! It rained the 2nd day we were there but honestly, it didn’t matter at all as we were able to truly enjoy the luxurious property and all it had to offer.

This hotel is top-notch in every way. The rooms were spacious and luxurious. The decorating was tasteful and demure. They treat every guest with great respect. They have an absolutely lovely customer lounge area which provides snacks and drinks as well as wine & beer for their guests. It is a four minute walk to the train and an eight minute walk to the bus. The skin care and toiletries that they have for your use are very high-quality. Because this is a Japanese Rioken they provided three or four sets of clothing that you could wear in the hotel during your stay. Oh yes, they had bath slippers slippers for around the hotel room, and slippers to wear on the patio. Truly, they have thought of everything to make your stay so incredibly comfortable and enjoyable. I would write them a 10 if I could. I wish we had more time to stay there longer it was so lovely and relaxing.

This is a beautiful, newish property. Pros: - Comfortable stylish lounge for all guests with free snacks and drinks (including a wide selection of wine, beer, spirits, and soft drinks) all day - Beautiful lobby and common areas - Professional and attentive staff - Located 5 minutes walk from the Gora train station so very convenient Cons: - The price was very high - The food was sub par in general and compared to other ryokans in Hakone (the western breakfast was much better than the Japanese dinner) - The style and view from the public onsen was not great despite facing the mountains (e.g. you could see a large factory, and the view of the trees was blocked when you were sitting in the onsen) Overall I would choose another ryoken next time I visit Hakone

Karen, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

May 11, 2024

The architecture and design of the property was very simple and clean and adapted well to its natural surroundings. The room with its bath in the balcony and the attention to details was amazing. The food at the restaurant was a bit bland and could be better. The service was great but the staff need a bit more experience in telling its story of the food and dishes. The times were also a bit inflexible despite being relatively empty. Nevertheless, it was a good time. The guest lounge was also very good but closed way too early - especially if you wanted to spend some time after dinner. The open-air vista bath was absolutely fantastic, especially at night. It had all the necessary amenities and was luxurious. I went for both nights, but found it strange that a lady worker kept visiting the men's bath to clean and refresh. Overall, a great experience with a luxury feel.

The hotel room is very clean with beautiful surroundings. The Kaiseki dinner served was great!
