Reviews of Tsukino Yado Sara
Antonio Molina
Wow — this hotel truly exceeded expectations. This was our first stop on our honeymoon, and it set the tone perfectly. We flew in from Dallas, landed at HND, and took the train to Hakone-Yumoto. Even though we arrived after 11:00 PM, the staff welcomed us warmly. Most staff members speak primarily Japanese, but communication was never an issue — they connected us with a live bilingual Japanese–Eng...

Recommended. An excellent onsen hotel with in a private thermal bath on the deck as well as very nice public baths on the 6th floor and a rooftop viewing area. Meals are top level. Multi course set dinner was very generous proportion. Staff don’t speak a lot of English but a friendly and helpful. (Our only negative was a disturbing whistling wind sound from the ventilation and annoying Musac.)

There’s even a draft beer machine and ingredients to make your own cocktails—perfect for those who enjoy a drink or two. The public bath is divided into indoor and outdoor sections, and there’s also a small sauna roo...

First, the hotel had 2 pillows in our room when we got there and told us they didn’t have any...

What an amazing stay. We had been 1 week in Tokyo before 2 nights in Hakone, so I intended the time to be a mental switch from the rushing and hustle to quiet, and this place absolutely delivered. Everything about it encourages you to calm and quiet and relaxation. It's a short 10-15 minute walk from the station, but you cross over 2 bridges and walk along a river and leave all that craziness behi...
