I wanted to experience a traditional Japanese inn. This is it. From my arrival to leaving the staff did a wonderful job making me comfortable and welcome. Kiseke dinner was notable with six courses or more of Japanese meals. Service was as good as it gets best I’ve ever had. Onsen is notable as well. There are indoor and out door baths. My room was special- very large and spacious no shoes worn in the rooms a wonderful sitting area overlooking lake ashi and best of all a wonderful view of Mount Fuji! So special having morning coffee looking out over huge picture window and Mount Fuji. It’s pricey but worth the experience in every way. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/053ad9b7-6a6b-45ee-95a6-55334b8f12a6-1760573720605.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Andrew Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Alberto 28 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Excellent views from the room. The property is very outdated. The smell of humidity is terrible. The breakfast was very sophisticated for western palates, and there wasn’t an option to get a different kind food. ##### Alberto Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Feng Sheng 12 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The onsen offered a delightful blend of traditional food and genuine hospitality. The meals were a highlight, prepared with care and showcasing local ingredients. ##### Feng Sheng Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Feng Sheng 12 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This onsen is a true gem.

Fuji and Lake Ashi from our room. Also, we had a private onsen (hot bath) which made our stay memorable. ##### John Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Robert 26 Mar 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Our Cambodian server Ran was the highlight of our stay. The first nights meal was also very nice but the property and onsen is very old and needs updating ##### Robert Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Laith 10 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Amazing place, really good view of the Mount Fuji, the staff were exceptional and the food was great, I recommend to dine there, at least for dinner ##### Laith Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anand 24 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Fantastic views, it is isolated from the town but in a very scenic area close to the lake and ropeway. The staff was incredibly good. A pleasant and relaxing stay. The room was beautiful and had great atmosphere ##### Anand Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alan 29 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Food is good. People very friendly. ##### Alan Stayed 1 night in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Neuzeli 25 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We loved the hotel and the peace that you feel staying there; the outside onsen is a dream, and the view of Fuji-san is unbelievable. The dinning experience couldn't be better, each day was a different surprise, we loved our host called Ran, she was a trainee there, but to be honest she gave us the best service and recommendations, if you stay there aks for her service and definitely will improve your overall experience at dinning. Overall I loved, my only recommendation would be to have more entertainment for kis, other than that everything was great. ##### Neuzeli Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### KA WAH 2 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Excellent place in Hakone This place is an excellent place for visiting in autumn. If the weather is good, you would be able to see Mount Fuji from the room and onsen. Some of the staff are able to speak Chinese and English. The only thing that I would remind anyone going would be "bring towel" to onsen place if you are living there as there are no towels in main onsen. ##### KA WAH Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrew 17 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great Ryokan, make sure you plan you travel from the station as limited taxis. Buses are regular but full of Gaijin with massive suit cases who are not always respectful of the locals. The Onsen and view of Fuji San is incredible. Food is very high end Japanese so make sure you understand this. Staff are very nice and helpful and speak English but do try and speak Japanese you are in Japan after all. 10/10 ##### Andrew Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Li 1 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very friendly and helpful staff. Good location for the sight view. Food is super good. Highly recommended. ##### Li Stayed 1 night in Aug 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Kelvin 8 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Some of my highlights of this stay were the view, the location, the food, and the service! Those components made for a wonderful stay in Hakone. However, I felt that the room and the hotel seem a bit outdated as a lot of the cabinets were chilling, and there was no air conditioning during our stay. The control panel seems to be broken as the dial didn’t work, but we were later informed that the hotel was running the heat during the time. Fortunately during our visit, Hakone was a bit cooler which the Dyson air fan was helping a little bit. Overall, there were a lot of positives about the hotel that overshadowed the negatives. However, we were expecting a better property condition for the price we paid. ##### Kelvin Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ender 1 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This was a beautiful stay. The facility is a little aged but it's been maintained well and the room views are phenomenal. The baths were clean and there was enough options that getting away from some of the noisier guests wasn't too difficult. In the morning I had the baths completely to myself and it was incredibly relaxing. Absolutely would stay here again. The only thing that was a downside to my stay was the massage. An older woman was doing the massages and it just wasn't good. She couldn't get deep pressure and there wasn't any attention paid to knotted areas. I had several massages while in Japan and this was probably the worst one. ##### Ender Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### David 31 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Nice views of Mount Fuji from the rooms. A particular, very dated but at the time certainly nice architecture. Makes for a very charming experience. However, some areas urgently need to be updated, e.g. showers, sinks, blow dryers, etc. Everything was very clean, all employees very friendly. Good Onsen experience. Beds not overly comfortable. What was not OK was the food. There are no choices whatsoever. Only set meals for dinner and breakfast are included (at dinner, a very small and unattractive a la carte menue is also available). One cannot change them, there is no flexibility in the services provided. No explanations are given beforehand what to expect. Quality of food is mediocre, very repetitice from day to day. Some items were OK but overall we had a lot better food elsewhere in Japan. Steep prices for additional drinks, even coffee for breakfast costs extra. Overall I find this place nice, but overpriced. Would only go back if food quality and service are improved and prices drop and/or updstes are made. Because everybody was so polite and helpful and the outside setting is beautiful (but touristy, you are still close to Tokyo), we keep good memories. ##### David Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Derick 28 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The hotel facilities are very traditional and well kept, our room was amazing from the awesome lake view to the nice tatami floors. The staff was very helpful and they provided support in both Japanese and English with ease. The kaiseki style dinner is a must, as it is an entire experience of delicious and elevated Japanese dishes with Western influences, we were left satisfied physically and mentally. Please remember that you need to book the kaiseki with the half-board additional option if your stay is short, in our case we only stayed one night and we had to add it. Even if you stay for one night you can enjoy the different onsen options they have available which is one of the key assets, just get in your yukatas relax and enjoy. ##### Derick Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kathy 16 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Food & service were excellent! ##### Kathy Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Odette 4 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very clean, spacious room Nice Onsen in new building ##### Odette Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Queen's Gate Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-The-Queens-Gate-Hotel.h34339.Hotel-Information) > > [Fuji-Hakone Guest House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hakone-Hotels-Fuji-Hakone-Guest-House.h5217673.Hotel-Information) > > [Kinnotake Tonosawa - Adult Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hakone-Hotels-Kinnotake-Tonosawa-Adult-Only.h14773625.Hotel-Information) > > [Gora Hanaougi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hakone-Hotels-Gora-Hanaougi.h24051762.Hotel-Information) > > [Hoshino Resorts KAI Sengokuhara](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hakone-Hotels-Hoshino-Resorts-KAI-Sengokuhara.h33155427.Hotel-Information) > > [Axel Beach Ibiza - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sant-Josep-De-Sa-Talaia-Hotels-AxelBeach-Ibiza-Spa-Beach-Club-Adults-Only.h17563690.Hotel-Information) > > [Susukinohara Ichinoyu](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hakone-Hotels-Susukinohara-Ichinoyu.h18340226.Hotel-Information) > > [Kawasaki King Skyfront Tokyu REI Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Yokohama-Hotels-KAWASAKI-KING-SKYFRONT-TOKYU-REI-HOTEL.h23195079.Hotel-Information) > > [Nagomi no Yado Hanagokoro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hakone-Hotels-Nagomi-No-Yado-Hanagokoro.h27834159.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel The Knot Yokohama](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Yokohama-Hotels-HOTEL-THE-KNOT-YOKOHAMA.h2948331.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Green Plaza Hakone](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hakone-Hotels-Hotel-Green-Plaza-Hakone.h5271834.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Zagakukan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hakone-Hotels-Hotel-ZAGAKUKAN.h42646068.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Inverness](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Inverness-Hotels.d1607.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hyatt Regency Yokohama](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Yokohama-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Yokohama.h45802512.Hotel-Information) > > [All-Inclusive Hotels in Corralejo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Corralejo-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d6049905-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Aura Tachibana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hakone-Hotels-Aura-Tachibana.h9849627.Hotel-Information) > > [Hoshino Resorts KAI Hakone](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hakone-Hotels-Hoshino-Resorts-KAI-Hakone.h17903908.Hotel-Information) > > [Hakone Kowakien TEN-YU](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hakone-Hotels-Hakone-Kowakien-TEN-YU.h16219270.Hotel-Information) > > [InterContinental Yokohama Grand by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Yokohama-Hotels-InterContinental-Yokohama-Grand.h16149.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Marrakech](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels.d6084756.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hakone Retreat Före](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hakone-Hotels-Hakone-Retreat-Fore-Adults-Only.h16074097.Hotel-Information) > > [Pet-Friendly Hotels in Filey](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Filey-Hotels-Pet-Friendly-Hotel.0-0-d6141836-tPetFriendlyHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotel Indigo Hakone Gora by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hakone-Hotels-Hotel-Indigo-Hakone-Gora.h37610710.Hotel-Information) > > [Gora Hanaougi Madoka No Mori](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hakone-Hotels-GORA-HANAOUGI-MADOKA-NO-MORI.h24052056.Hotel-Information) > > [Yokohama Royal Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Yokohama-Hotels-Yokohama-Royal-Park-Hotel.h15450.Hotel-Information) > > [Matsuzakaya Honten](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hakone-Hotels-Matsuzakaya-Honten.h29086925.Hotel-Information) ### Packages ---
