Amazing! The most wonderful place we stayed at during our Japan trip! A beautiful authentic ryokan with the best host we’ve ever met during our trip. The happiest, kindest person ever! She went out of her way to make us feel special and every word of Japanese we uttered she started to glow and praise us. And the other host was also a lovely man who speaks amazing English ♥️ The tatami mat room was...

Easily the best place my family has stayed during our trip to Japan. Every staff member greeted us with such nice hospitality, and made us feel at home throughout our stay.

Rooms were clean and comfortable, and the hotel is very accessible from the train station. 10/10 recommend to anyone coming to Hakone, and we really felt like w...
