Hotels with Jacuzzi in Room in Hakone

Location near train station is very handy. Many others in Gora are up a VERY steep hill from the eki, and there are not many services, so included meals are a big plus. The property itself is excellent. The staff are all very friendly and helpful. Our room with the open air onsen and mountain view was wonderful. We soaked twice a day in a very private deck bath. Very spacious by any standard with bedroom that had mountain views and separate living area with same views. The lobby bar with foot soaking well is insane. Just about everyone put on the yukattas for evening. The included meals were amazing multi-course for dinner and ridiculous breakfast array. No buffet here! Definitely recommend Tensui Saryo.

The property is located within 5mins walk from the Gora station. It was clean and comfortable to stay in. Booked the traditional room with open air onsen, facing the mountain. So the view was good , air was fresh. We also booked the dinner and breakfast. Dinner was good but breakfast choices are limited. So my elderly and child were not really used to the traditional kaiseki. There are 2 facilities which is open for guests to booked. The bedrock bath was interesting and is very relaxing. They also give complimentary drink with footbath at their lounge area. Which is a plus point to relax our tired feet after a long day of walking Staff are friendly and helpful as well. Recommended stay

We had a great stay at Tensui Saryo during Hakone visit. It is very conveniently located near the train station from Hakone-Yumoto and the cable car that leads up to the Owakudani sulfur vents. Our room was beautiful and the mountain view - though somewhat cloudy - was as well. The futons in our room were warm and soft but I did wake up a bit stiff (just gaijin issues). We had an outdoor hot spring-fed bath on the patio which was very luxurious. The sulfur is filtered out so the water doesn't smell at all. The included breakfast was very good and the staff graciously accommodated my request for vegetarian food. It is an authentic Japanese style breakfast with many small dishes. Given the price I do wish that dinner was also included. There are several restaurants nearby but strangely many were either closing when we got there or didn't open until later. The staff were all very kind and helpful. Do note that though the reservation includes 1 free drink at the bar per person it only applies to the menu offered. It wasn't entirely clear so when we ordered cocktails we ended up paying extra. They do offer free snacks and drinks when you arrive, which is nice. Overall a very relaxing and pleasant stay.

Location - ignore google maps, this ryokan is a 2 minute walk from gora station, just take the underpass instead of following google maps's directions of going around the station. Facility - amazing bar with foot bath. Our family had two rooms, one with a private natural spring water onsen and one with a tap water onsen (for the kids). Both rooms were amazing, spacious, and comfortable. Shower in one of the rooms was on the small side, but it was somewhere you can walk out onto the onsen deck directly from the shower. Room amenities were top notch. Our room had a beautiful tea set, coffee, fridge stocked with water, juice, and some alcohol seltzer type drinks. Bathroom had a face steamer. The foot bath and onsen on the deck were amazing as well. Absolutely no complaints on the facility and room. Food - Admittedly we don't have a very sophisticated palette. The set meal here was beautifully presented and prepared. It had, I believe, a lot of very traditional japanese foods and was very heavy on the seafood. I can't remember the meal set we purchased, but best you double check with the ryokan what is in the set meal if you're not a big seafood eater. Everything was great, just fancier than we're accustomed to, but that's not a fault of the ryokans!

I had an unforgettable experience in Tensui Saryo! The room was amazingly spacious, had really nice amenities, among which a few different types of coffee beans and all the necessary tools to brew some nice coffee. The private onsen on the balcony was just the right amount of hot and the view to the mountais was stunning! Definitely recommend trying out the breakfast for the cultural experience (and it was filling too). Staff was very friendly and helpful - I felt welcomed and appreciated. Had no issues communicating in basic japanese and english. Finally, hotel is located 5 min (maybe even less) to the start of the Hakone sightseeing loop - extremely convenient for starting the route as early as possible.

This hotel feels like being in Carmel California only it's Japan. It is very small and personal. All the rooms have an amazing view of the ocean here in Atami, which is cerulean blue. It is quiet and secluded and perfect for a romantic get away. It is NOT a place for kids. It is adult and romantic. The rooms are large, we had a beautiful balcony with table and chairs. You must have 2 nights at least to appreciate it. The breakfast was superb, we had Japanese style. You can walk here from the train station and we walked to the sacred tree (kinomiya shrine) and to the Plum garden from here. It is not for the faint of heart as it is very hilly but we loved it. there are lots of cozy nooks to sit in. Definitely would love to return.

The room was amazing. Very spacious and well kept. The private onsen was very relaxing and cozy. The hotel staff was very courteous and helpful. The restaurant staff was pleasant and accommodating to my wife’s allergies to certain foods. We’re definitely booking our next stay at Relax Resort Hotel.

Great resort! I wish I had more time for a longer stay. The room was amazing, and the view is beautiful. The staff were all very friendly and accommodating. Dinner was also very good, and the customized embroidered napkin was a memorable keepsake. I'd definitely stay here again when visiting Atami

I decided at the last minute to have dinner at the hotel and the staff and chef were so kind to accommodate me - thank you!! Dinner was delicious. The whole stay was excellent. Clean, fresh, updated rooms too.

The staff were very accommodating and friendly. They were working so hard to make our stay memorable and their intention to make a luxurious stay was known. Those going to expect authentic Italian food may be disappointed but the food was very good. There is a restaurant in Vancouver that does Japanese and Italian fusion that has a Michelin star but the food here is better and fresher. Can't beat Japanese fish caught on the same day paired with Italian wine. The in room onsen with real onsen water was a treat. After 10 days of city hopping, I felt relaxed and calm. I would stay there again . There are reviews that the hill is too hard to climb but I suggest that guests take a taxi. The entire city is built in steep hills so you cannot say this one hotel is bad without mentioning the region. Think Amalfi or Cinque Terre and you get the Italian feel with Japanese flair. I've been to both and have Italian family and have lived in Japan so I'm confident in my review that this meets my experiences and expectations. Great stay!

Absolutely amazing accommodation. Totally worth it. The room was spacious, the experience of sleeping, having dinner and having breakfast in a traditional Japanese style accommodation was amazing. The staff was incredible (our host was so kind and welcoming; apologise I cannot remember her name perhaps Nagano). There are two private onsens at an additional cost of approximately 12€ per 50 minutes, three free access onsens and onsen in the room (not all the rooms). They prepare dinner for you (which was incredible) while they prepare the beds. They clean the beds while you have breakfast. You have breakfast and dinner in your own private dinning area. There are views of the river and some waterfalls from the room and the onsens which is very relaxing

This was our first time staying at a ryokan. We found it to be a great value option and perfect for a 2 night stay. The location is great - less than a 5 minutes walk from the train station. We came to relax and enjoy nature after a hectic week in Osaka and Kyoto and this ryokan delivered. We booked a river vieww room. At night we fell asleep on the traditional beds, listening to sound of the river. We booked the 2 different private onsens ahead of time via email. They are open air onsens with views of the forest and river. It's so nice to book in the day so that you can enjoy the view. As foodies, we really enjoyed the traditional Japanese breakfast and dinner. The meals were generous, delicious, and seasonal. Lots of fresh seafood and vegetables. Our room attendants were kind and attentive.

We absolutely loved staying at Hakone Suimeisou. The room was spotlessly clean and the whole property felt peaceful and well maintained. A special thank you to Hiromi and Yoko, they were incredibly kind and helpful throughout our stay! We communicated easily through google translate. The kaiseki-style dinner and traditional Japanese breakfast were amazing. Each meal was beautifully presented and thoughtfully prepared - very generous in portion! The beds were very comfy, and after a big day exploring Hakone, the onsen bath was the perfect way to relax. The view from the onsen bath was stunning, such a serene and calming experience. We truly felt taken care of during our time here. 100% would stay again next time we visit Hakone. Highly recommend! Thank you for having us Hakone Suimeisou!

This ryoukan is located very close to Hakone-Yumoto station, the main station to get to Hakone. Front desk could speak English and it was super easy to check in and check out. The room had a very fancy and beautiful interior. We had the personal onsen and the view was spectacular. Yukata were also provided in our rooms. The rooms were full tatami and it was amazing to use it as a tea room before dinner and then sleep on futons after dinner which they set up for us during dinner. The eating time is around 5-6pm so make sure you don’t show up late and miss out! We had a personal eating room and the selection of food was insanely plentiful and delicious, we were super full after. One of us was vegetarian and they were able to accomodate us perfectly, remember to notify them in advance. An older lady served us and she was very cute and respectful, using translation tool to communicate with us. We were also provided with breakfast which was equally as superb. We loved using the outdoors onsen, it was easy to use. The noise is quite loud when on the balcony because of the waterfall outside but it’s very pleasant like white noise. Keep in mind, you can’t see anything at night because it’s dark but in the daytime it’s absolutely mind blowing. Definitely recommend you try this experience at least once. The toilet (separated from the shower area) had a bit of a funky smell to it, but it was located away from the room so it wasn’t a big issue.

This Ryokan is just wonderful. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful, English was not a problem at all. The private onsen was clean and ideal for a little break. The breakfast and dinner menu were tasty and the lady gave all she got to explain every detail as good as possible. The rooms are spacious and the staff organized everything on time and with a smile. Although the Ryokan is close to the train station, it was not noticeable at all and quiet. There are plenty of small shops and restaurants/cafes nearby. All in all, highly recommended

The property is perched in the silent town of Gora. We loved the service. The classic Japanese style meal was a wonderful experience. Everything was done to make us comfortable. They have an indoor pool, outdoor jacuzzi, and baths for men and women. There is an outdoor and indoor bath. It’s amazing. They also offer a very reasonably priced in room shiatsu massage. It does happen after 9p so it puts you in the mood to sleep.

Impeccable in every way from before check-in to after check-out. Super-likes: (1) Complimentary transfers are provided between the ryokan and Gora station/other nearby destinations. They graciously accommodated even our very last minute transport requests. (2) Kind and helpful staff who anticipated our every need and went out of their way to ensure we didn’t have to lift a finger or break a sweat. Everyone we encountered provided truly world-class service. Special thanks to our room assistant Raia and the gentleman who greeted us at Gora station and dropped us off - they really went above and beyond. (3) Beautiful, peaceful and sparkling clean grounds and facilities. The family onsen was a huge bonus. We did not utilise the bigger gender-segregated baths but they looked inviting. We did spend some time in the indoor pool and outdoor hot tub which were perfect for a cold rainy day. (4) Huge and well-equipped Japanese-style room with a beautiful garden. We wanted to experience sleeping on futons, which turned out to be very comfortable indeed. (5) Dinner and breakfast were an eye-opening and never-ending spread of top-notch local cuisine. (6) Complimentary mini bar with free soft drinks and beer (which we unfortunately did not fully utilise!) on top of abundant drinking water (Fuji mineral water). (7) Numerous thoughtful little touches like a box of post-dinner sweets, framed commemorative family photo and farewell souvenirs. Worth every last penny and more.

This is a great hotel. The staff is very accommodating and attentive. I believe each room has a personal assistant/staff member who is there to accommodate you. Ours was Yo. He was very kind and helpful. He made our experience at Gora Karan very enjoyable. The dinner was great and we enjoyed the traditional kaiseki style meal. I was happy that they offered a western style breakfast option if you didn’t want the Japanese breakfast. It was delicious! We went with the Japanese style room with the futon style beds on the floor. It was a fun experience but if you’re staying for more than one or two nights I’d recommend the western room as the bed can get uncomfortable. We had a room with a private onsen bath in the backyard. It was absolutely gorgeous! It felt like a true vacation and was very relaxing.

Location was easy to get to from the close by train station. The rooms were traditional with modern facilities, and were extremely clean and tidy. The service we received was luxurious - staff were welcoming, warm, and attentive. Food (breakfast and dinner) exceeded expectations. We went with the kaiseki style. Public baths were very clean and well maintained.

We stayed for one night at Gora Kadan in late March '23 and it was fabulous. The level of service was extraordinary from arrival to departure and the ryokan itself is really stunning. Our room was the largest we have ever had in Japan, with a serene view of a private Japanese garden. We didn't have a private onsen (some rooms do) but that was fine as the public onsen are fabulous, with both indoor and outdoor bathing, separate facilities for men and women. The room service from our wonderful "room assistant" was excellent, she was so professional and sweet. We had a 9 course kaiseki dinner in the room and a large traditional Japanese breakfast the next morning. We also hung out in the bar during the evening in our yukata, sipping whiskey and admiring the surrounding nature through floor to ceiling windows. The futon beds were very comfortable, we slept like babies. After breakfast the next day it was an easy 10 minute walk to the Hakone open air art museum (a must!) and when we were finished at the museum the hotel dropped our bags to us at the train station so we wouldn't have to schlepp them. We don't normally spend this kind of money on hotels, it was a splurge for u. But when you factor in the incredible meals and personalized service Gora Kadan feels completely worth it and a great highlight of our trip.

The room was very spacious and had a great view of the mountain. It was peaceful and quiet which made soaking in the private onsen very relaxing. Facilities were clean and modern. I especially loved the bathroom (the toilet was private). We did have an onsen bath in the room but we also tried the private onsen which was great. Unlimited drinks were available in the same floor. ++ cause they had hot Matcha and Latte. Sleepwear was provided and there were 2 blankets so we didn't have to fight over it when the night got colder. The dinner and breakfast were delicious too. I felt bad for not finishing them all off though. Staff were very helpful. Exceptional service overall. It's also a plus that the bus stop is right in front so although the place is secluded and quiet, it's easy to get to. I look forward to staying again!

Smaller, boutique-type hotel, good quality. Loved the view and the location was fine from the perspective of relaxing in the hotel. Ok location for sightseeing. We were picked up from the train station by hotel staff. Staff were helpful and polite and endeavoured to correct mistakes made due to some language barriers, enjoyed a shiatsu massage in our room before bed at what was for us a reasonable price, enjoyed a private onsen with forest/river outlook, lovely to have a view of forest and bubbling stream from our room as well. Clean neat room, main room and toilet good size but would recommend booking a room with a bath as the shower and sink area were quite small. Liked how the room felt and the well-maintained vintage style decor. Was able to borrow an iron from reception. Lovely reception area. Complimentary coffee, cafe latte, cappucino, hot chocolate, cocoa, tea and water in the downstairs relaxation area. Can buy softdrinks and icecream. Found the hotel pajamas very comfortable and could wear them anywhere in the hotel, including to eat meals at the restaurant. Reception brought an extra-large pair of pajamas for my tall, stocky son. Liked the split socks. As well as in room baths, there are three private onsen so if you have tatoos you can still enjoy an onsen. My son liked the Japanese multiple-course dinner. Breakfast was Japanese style. If you wish to try unusual Japanese-style cuisine, the hotel food offerings would be suitable for you.

Everything was perfect. When we arrived, there was a piano performance at the reception. View is gorgeous, bedroom very spacious, clean and comfortable. Amenities were great. The staff was great and very friendly. Food was amazing, we were very impressed by the quality and extensive menu. It was a great experience going to dinner wearing the Yukata. The onsen in the bedroom and private open air onsen were big and with view to the river. The hotel provides every day transfer to the close train station. We could walk to Chuiji waterfall and there was a 7/11 within a short walk.

Our stay at Hakone Nanese was thoroughly rejuvenating. The combination of traditional Japanese hospitality and breathtaking mountain views provided a truly tranquil retreat. The private onsen bath was immaculate, offering a relaxing soak with views of the surrounding natural beauty, including a waterfall situated just below. The kaiseki dinner was exquisitely presented and delicious, highlighting fresh, local ingredients. Our room was comfortable, blending modern amenities with traditional tatami mats for an authentic experience. The staff was exceptional, making us feel at home and even arranging transportation to and from the nearby train station. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a peaceful and authentic Japanese escape.

What a luxurious experience! Our room was so spacious and comfortable. We had a granite bath with hot spring water dripping into it- our own private onsen. The meals were gourmet and delicious. The hotel looks like it has been recently renovated and everything is in perfect taste and modern style. The staff were friendly and helpful and spoke English well. We loved our time at Hakone Nanase! Highly recommend!

My fiance and I splurged one night of our Japan trip to stay at Watei Kazekomichi. Our entire stay here was absolutely wonderful. We were picked up from Atami Station by the staff, and upon reaching the ryokan, we were welcomed with a beautiful view of the hillside and ocean, green tea, and small snacks as we were checked in. The room itself was everything I could have wished for - immaculately clean, spacious, and peaceful. The private onsen was the perfect temperature and the futon beds were so comfortable. The kaiseki dinner and breakfast were also delicious, and every step felt like we were being catered to. At check-out, the hotel called a taxi for us to take us back to the station.

My fiance and I had an amazing stay. The room was even better than expected (and I had high expectations) and the private onsen was divine. I stayed in Yugao which had a great view of the ocean from both the balcony and dining area. I love how they set up the dining area - each room has its own private booth facing the view. At first I was slightly disappointed to find that meals would not be served in our room, but after experiencing the dining at Watei I prefer how they set up the meals. Breakfast and dinner was not included in our booking, but we added it. The food was great, Michelin level. It was perhaps one of my favorite meals in Japan. I think I liked the dinner course more than the breakfast.

Everything was just that the hotel says in its website. Our room was huge, clean and comfortable, with separate sitting room. The in-room open air hot spring bath, which was very private yet had a view on the sunrise was excellent. The deck, which has coffee machine and chair is also an excellent place to watch the sun rises from the ocean. Excellent staff who were trained with excellent courtesy, friendly and helpful. Both dinner (kaiseki meal) and breakfast were excellent. We could taste the freshness of the ingredients and the skills of the cook. The pick-up and drop-off service were also good. We would definitely return.

Fantastic peaceful location in the hillside with magnificent Onsen & beautiful views of the town morning through evening. Great amenities such as tea coffee selection and comfortable accommodation. Dinner and breakfast were both magnificent in terms of presentation and quality of food. Truly memorable and exceptional. I’d highly recommend this place for a tranquil, traditional style Onsen stay.

The private spa in the room is amazing! It is my favorite part. Staff are very friendly. Breakfast was delicious. However, our room is on the bottom floor so there is no view. And there is no elevator, and the staircase is a bit steep. The location is in the mountains so you need a taxi to visit the beach or the town. When we were there, the toilet flush was malfunctioning, and the buttons on the toilet does not look clean, which was very disappointing. For a fancy hotel like this, I think that is really bad. The hotel staff are super polite and friendly, but they basically do not speak much English.

Food was great, rooms were very nice, clean and friendly staff. Jacuzzi was wasted opportunity.. Replace with a proper rotemburo. Outside onsen needs a good scrub down on bottom. Bed side table looks out of place.. Old looking..

We absolutely loved our stay here. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. Everything was so comfortable and we felt very well taken care of. Location wise it was perhaps a bit more out the way than some places but we loved it being more remote and it was very easy and cheap to get to via bus and we did the whole Hakone loop no problem without a car. We got a taxi from Gotemba Shopping place for about £20. The food was really special and we loved the outdoor private jacuzzi. We got engaged just before we arrived here and it was the perfect special place to celebrate!

Could not have loved this place more, it was the highlight of our whole trip. Amazing comfy bed with a lovely view. In the morining I had a relaxing soak in the lovely private bath on my balcony, which was surrounded by trees and birds singing, as the sun came up - absolutley perfect. Lovely traditional breakfast! The staff were really friendly and went out of their way to be helpful. Several of them spoke very good English. We paid to have a kaiseki dinner at the hotel and this was a wonderful experience - amazing food and we had such a lovely evening. Wish we could have stayed at this place for a week!

A smaller style property, very clean and stylish. Jazz plays in the foyer and there is a nice small bar. Our room was larger than others we’ve stayed in which was a treat. We stayed here to visit Hakone. It was fairly straight forward to get to Hakone proper, though this property is a little out of the way and at busy times of day the buses in this area are unreliable and often late. I think if we were visiting again we’d choose somewhere closer to Hakone or Hakone Yumoto. The hotel offers free shuttle pick up and drop off to nearby locations which made transport connections easier. The breakfast offered is only Japanese style set menu (no Western breakfast offered, though we thought this was an option when we booked). Tasty. Similarly, the dinner is a long set course meal of traditional and locally sourced foods - definitely an excellent meal, though quite expensive (was about ¥10000JPY each I think). There are a couple of noodle places for dinner nearby but not much to choose from. TLDR: hotel great, location not so good, food traditional and a bit expensive.

Very nice hotel, you get a welcome drink when you check in, the dinner is very much a recommendation from our site. Delicious and a nice event. If you stay there, book the dinner! The onsen is small but hot and clean. The rooms are clean and beautiful. Not the largest, but large enough. The staff is helpful and friendly. We would stay there again. We stayed in more expensive hotels in that area which where much worse in terms of service and quality of... everything.

Great location, super clean, comfortable, and private. Also one of the few natural and chemical free onsen in the area! To save money, I opted for the room with a shared bathroom. I was worried the bathroom would connect two different rooms, however this is not the case. The bathrooms are in the hallway and for ladies, it is one person at a time. This made it very comfortable and stress free. Your room is completely private :) The onsens are gender separated and only party is allowed in at a time. For an incredible price, you essentially get a private onsen in a central location with great restaurants all around. There is even a delicious curry restaurant open until 11pm. Hot tea and new yukata is placed in your room nightly. I will definitely stay here every time I am in the area. The host is very helpful and knows the bus routes very well! He sets you up for success in having a wonderful time in Hakone. Please note check in time is limited to 4pm-7pm, so plan accordingly. Pictures attached on my review are of the onsen and then the shared bathroom and sink in the hallway.

Y-san, the owner is a super- host. Exceptionally friendly and helpful in giving travel tips, he worked hard to ensure our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. The town is tranquil, the location is good because you can easily travel to various places to see different views of Mt. Fuji. We also loved the natural private onsen and the fresh, clean daily yukata provided at the inn. A soothing, hot bath then sleeping on futons on tatami mat floors was the perfect way to end each day of our stay in Japan.

Everything is perfect. The owner is super friendly and he helped us planning our activities in the Hakone area. The onsen is small but very cute. The owner is so kind to upgrade our room to a bigger one with bathroom. The room is very big, and clean. We also like the sitting area on the ground floor where we are can enjoy our dinner bought from 7-11 nearby. All facilities are very clean.

It was located in a quiet and peaceful area. The room was very clean, and spacious. The onsen, though small, was comfortable and lovely. The hotel manager really helped by recommending an itinerary and provided us with a lot of useful information. He was also a lovely man to have a chat with. Very kind and considerate.

The owner is such a nice welcoming person that goes out of his way to make your trip enjoyable. The room is AMAZING and very clean, and the view is breathtaking.

The location of The Mantei is wonderful. Peaceful. Entering into a spacious and tastefully designed reception where all check-in formalities are being dealt with efficiently. The rooms are spacious with a nice view. They are however in need of some TLC and modernisation here and there. Especially the bathroom. It could also do with some additional space to store and hang your clothes. Part of the service are these very comfortable cotton pyjamas. The Onsen in the hotel is nice - comfortable and relaxing but not very special. The absolute high-point of the hotel is the food. Absolutely amazing. 7 or 8 courses of very fresh and tasty Japanese dishes. The service in the restaurant is very courteous and kind. The staff at reception could do with some additional training in being 'friendly and helpful'. All in all - a safe bet in the Hakone area

Lovely Spa Hotel with Superb Japanese Cuisine. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Manatei Hakone Manatei Hakone is comfortable and relaxing Spa hotel with 19 rooms, quietly nestled on the side of a mountain. On arrival I was greeted by a well-spoken receptionist whose English was very good. I learned that I was upgraded to a beautiful room with a private wooden onsen – hot tub, with an ongoing flow of hot water through a wood pipe, located in a partially enclosed terrace room accessed via the shower. It was utterly fabulous. The room was beautifully appointed, with very comfortable beds, pillows and comforters. One side of the room included a wonderful lounge area. On the bed was a set of lovely Japanese loungewear to use in the hotel. The view from the room was beautiful. The food was both gorgeous and delicious. A multi course Japanese Dinner was served in beautiful style – the food, the service and the platters were very special. Breakfast was served in a lovely multi-layered bento box. It was beautiful and delicious. Don’t miss the opportunity to enjoy these special Japanese meals prepared with the freshest local ingredients. My stay was just lovely, and I did not want to leave!

Staying here was a very enjoyable experience. We stayed for 2 nights. What we enjoyed: 1. The quiet country atmosphere 2 our own private onsen (divine)! 3. The private onsens where you can lock the door. 4. The dinner was spectacular - presented beautifully, in our own private room. 5. Large rooms. 6. Wearing our traditional and comfortable yukatas to dinner was so nice. Things to be aware of: 1. The rooms are very dated! Comfortable but dated. 2. Our fridge had seals that no longer sealed hence the fridge was useless. 3. They only offer a Japanese breakfast these days (which our group did not enjoy). I had advised previously of a fish allergy so I received a western breakfast instead which was great. We asked if we could all have this on the 2nd morning, but the response was they don’t do western breakfasts (obviously only if you prearrange an alternative). 4. If arriving on the train, it’s a precarious trip down hill with your luggage (the hotel will only offer a courtesy pick up at certain times). 5. The hotel does not have a bar or food outside of breakfast and dinner (if you have this as part of your package) so you will need to come organized with food and drinks outside these times. The hotel is a bit isolated - during the day it is easy enough to get to a convenience store - but not at night.

Not much to look at from the street, but WOW! the lobby was lovely and the staff even better. There was a 'recital in the lobby in the evening as well--piano and guitar, a variety of styles with mostly original music composed by the pianist. The rooms were clean, comfortable and well decorated. Dinner and breakfast were included. Dinner was in the keiseki style and was served in a private dining room. It was delicious with a variety of seafood, meat and vegetable dishes. The public onsen was single-sex, clean and essentially private, as there was no one there but me. I was looking for a public onsen experience, but who can say no to a private onsen?? The staff was extremely attentive, both in the lobby and at dinner. The young lady in the lobby took time to help us plan our visit and even wrote out the train stop and schedule to ensure that we returned to Odawara in time to catch our train to Narita as we were flying back to the states that day! Can't say enough good things about our experience at the Manatee Hakone. Highly recommend this property for your stay in Hakone!

Amazing stay at the Manatei. We had a hot spring in our room which was a wonderful treat to be able to relax in the comfort of your own room and not worry about a public onsen. All shower and hot spring facilities were excellent - toiletries provided were excellent and the hot spring itself was very hot and kept a constant flow of water. Lovely and relaxing! Well worth the price of the room. Yukatas / pyjamas are provided in a variety of sizes. The Manatei is a ryokan and provides half board ie breakfast and dinner are included. Dinner was exceptional! The sashimi was the best we ate in Japan and we had a lot plus the abalone and simmering pork were all noteworthy! Absolute delight! You do pay extra for drinks but beer is very affordable and you can splash out on wine too. Breakfast was also good usual japanese breakfast fare - rice, miso soup, pickles, fish etc. hakone itself is less of an attraction as the main volcano walk was closed but just go for the hot spring you won't regret it. Overall great hotel and the staff speak very good English.

The owners are a lovely and enthusiastic elderly couple. The house is located on a small hill, very close to the train station and convenience store. The room has a view of the sea, and the sleeping system is traditional Japanese tatami mats. Worried that we would be cold, the owner provided plenty of quilts and blankets, and the room also has heating, so it was comfortable to sleep in. The only pity is that the lights in the room seemed to have a flickering problem due to the voltage. The owners are very hospitable and make sure that their guests are comfortable. They speak a little English, but they are also happy to communicate using gestures and translation apps. The room is clean and tidy, and it has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The location is quiet and peaceful, and the view of the sea is beautiful.

The host grandma is super friendly, the room was above and over my expectations, I can even see the ocean and sunrise from the room. The room is super clean and set up comfortably. The bathroom and sink, and toilet is shared, but it is super clean, and is equipped with all the essentials, such as shower and bath wash, toothbrush, lotion, hair brush, and more. And there is also a microwave and a kettle for use. The location is great, right around the corner from the station, and really close to the beach and shore too. Highly recommend for the price, great for solo travel.

The cozy, clean and comfortable japanese style house! The host is really helpful!! Helped us to close the window because we are cold. She waited us to come back during the night time before she went to sleep. Even though she can barely speak English but she still making her effort to try to communicate with us. The room view can see the sunrise and it’s really beautiful!!

Convenient location, walkable distance from the train station. Quiet location, lovely garden setting, and a comfortable family sized room located upstairs in the beautiful wooden guest house. Host was very kind and helpful. So much more character staying someplace like this versus a hotel.

Property location 6min left of Atami Station. Uphill about 20m walk so not too bad. Very home feeling and the host lady is very friendly. We used google translate to communicate and it worked. Room is clean. I booked the family room with its own bathroom and shower/bathtub so very good for the price . Highly recommend taking free shuttle bus from train station to visit Fuua the Occen view onsen. I had great time there.

Clean, very comfortable bed, spacious, quiet, convenient, perfect location, safe, friendly. Wonderful staff who communicated well in english. I will be back!

Very close location to the train station and east access to Hakone, Lake Ashi, funicular railway, Hakone outdoor art museum etc. Clean. peaceful rooms, comfortable beds, very helpful staff. Easy walk to Odawara Castle. great Japanese bar Spats Retro next door with excellent music cocktails and food. great choice of restaurants in Odawara. 7/11 few doors up fir provisions. Lusca shops at station good too.

Great location, easy check-in, very friendly staff, and the room was very spacious, clean, and comfortable. Rooms come equipped with a mini fridge, TV, hot water kettle, AC, hair dryer, slippers, toothbrushes, and shampoo/conditioner/soap. And further amenities such as razors, hair ties, combs, etc were also available in the lobby. The bento breakfast we requested and paid for was also very convenient and delicious!

Location! location! Location! Clean, comfortable and conveniently located at reasonable price. 3min walk from Odawara station. The rooms are small but it’s perfect for a night stay. It’s very clean. We came early and they gladly store our (way too many) suitcases for free. And bring it all to our room when it was ready. When we came back, after a long day (being a tourist), our suitcases were in our room. That was a great surprise. To all the staff, Thank you for going above and beyond the call of duty. You are amazing. Thank you for making our trip so wonderful.

Good budget hotel a 3 minute walk from Odawara Station, clean, comfortable and friendly helpful staff and plenty of restaurants in the area. Odawara Castle was less than a 1 km walk. We had a 2 Day Hakone Free Pass and chose to stay in Odawara as we had to catch an early morning Shinkansen which stops at the station. Trains to Hakone were quick and frequent and I definitely recommend a visit to the onsen in Hakone Yuryo which has a free courtesy bus outside Hakone Station.

I stayed at the attached building which has rooms with semi-exposed baths and are a bit separated from each other. The room was spacious with two comfortable fairly large beds. There wasn't an ocean view at this angle but there was a little yard area outside and trees in the distance. The room and building were very well renovated and felt modern and comfortable. There is a lounge area with ping pong and tabletop games. You can even use it after checkout. There is a little makeup area and kitchen area that are hidden behind closet-like doors. That's a great idea as you can close them when not needed and the room looks nicer. The TV is huge if you have occasion to use it. It's not a far walk from here to MOA though it is uphill.

The room was clean and the bed is very comfy. There is a washer and a drying rack in the room. The TV is hooked up with Amazon TV but the shows are mostly Japanese. The room with the outdoor hot spring is actually in a separate annex and it's closer to a suite than just a room. The hot spring source is extremely hot but does not have a heavy mineral smell. There is a rooftop terrace with a decent view of the shoreline and I would love to see it during firework season. The manager is extremely helpful! I backed my rental car into a rock wall (area have very narrow road, see the Con section). And by the rental agreement, I had to call the police to file a report in order not to void the insurance coverage. While he couldn't speak English, using a translation tool, he manage to call the police and made sure I was at ease.

The room was clean, and the staff were friendly and polite. The onsen was perfect! Not too hot. The view of the fireworks from the terrace was nice.

The room was great, you could hear the birds tweeting and the view of the sea and mountain was amazing from the terrace. Moreover, the private onsen worked perfectly, with nice views at night and morning and the warm healing water.

I like how spacious everything is! The bathroom, tatami living room, bathtub, and the public hotspring... Stuff is friendly and helpful, they even let me checked-in early (Godsent, I was dead tired from descending from Mt.Fuji)!

Beautifully appointed. Peaceful. Traditional attire . Fantastic Onsen Spa and Jacuzzi. Great set timed dining.

We absolutely LOVED our stay! This was our first ryokan experience during our recent trip to Japan and it couldn't have been better! Staff exceeded expectations and were incredibly helpful, friendly, and attentive. Our room was perfect and had more than what we needed. My only disappointment is that we couldn't stay longer! It was in a great location right by Hakone Gora Park and very easy commute to nearby restaurants. We didn't end up having dinner at the hotel, but breakfast was great and am very glad we got to experience a traditional Japanese breakfast. We got to use the hot stone spa which was a wonderful and unexpected treat! Would highly recommend.

The hotel is in a peaceful area with mountain view. You're in the middle of nature and breathe fresh air everywhere. When checking in, you can pick a yukata from a stash with different colors and designs and wear it during your stay. After that, you get a welcome drink and some baked goods. The staff is welcoming and friendly. The Japanese breakfast is an experience in itself and you shouldn't miss it. Every amenity you cod need is there. Shampoo, Conditioner, Body Lotion, Face Mist, etc. etc. There are 2 basins in the onsen. One outside and one inside (talking about the female onsen here). For additional 2000¥, you can use the hot stone beds and it's more than worth it.

Our stay in Bettei Koyoi was exceptional! We wanted to stay here for a night to rest and relax, and this hotel exceeded our expectations. The staff was very friendly and accommodating with our requests, we were able to drop off our bags prior to check-in so we could comfortably explore Hakone. Additionally, our stay included a dinner and a breakfast, these two meals were amazing, some of the best food we tried in Japan as a whole. I'd highly recommend staying here if you'd like to relax, eat great meals, and spend some time in a hot spring overlooking the mountain. It was such a wonderful time.

This is a beautiful spot- the views of the mountains are spectacular, especially from your private bath on your balcony. The beds are so comfortable, the yukata are so pretty, and the food is delicious. Everyone who works here is kind and very helpful. I wish I could go back tomorrow!

What a nice retreat! We truly enjoyed this traditional hotel nestled in the mountains. Our room had an excellent view, and it was so peaceful, quiet, and private. We loved sleeping on the futon in the tatami room. Also, the bath/shower room was a treat. There is an on-site onsen which we used every day of the stay. This hotel is a bit far from amenities, and at the time of our stay, the restaurant was closed. We recommend walking the 5 minutes on the path to Yunnesun, where there is a ‘Family Mart’ for basic foodstuffs. Yunnesun, is an amazing experience and highly recommended. Take the shuttle bus from Gora Station to the hotel - it hits every major hotel, including this one, even though it’s not listed on the route. It begins late and ends early, so the Tozan bus works with the Hakone Free Pass (note that the bus instructions on the hotel website are for the local bus, which is not covered by the Hakone Free Pass). The place is in need of a bit of a decor update, but otherwise spotlessly clean. The staff don’t speak much English, but are very willing to help and are exceptionally polite. We felt welcome and would gladly stay here again.

Starting with the good: Great value hotel with lots of facilities. Room was quiet, spacious, and clean, and came with a fantasic view. The gym was well-equipped. I did not use the onsen or pool so cannot comment. The bad: it's a very dated hotel, whilst the room itself was pleasant, the en-suite bathroom and kitchenette were old. Really old; very tired with age-related decay setting in (think peeling laminate from chipboard furniture, UV-tainted plastics, etc). I'd have a guess and say they were original fixtures from when the hotel was built. Overall though it was comfortable and I got a few really serene nights sleep. The location was good as well, close to a couple of Family Marts and walkable into Gora, albeit up and down some really steep, unlit roads that were sketchy to walk at night. A car in Hakone really is nessecary regardless of where you stay.

We had a bit of a hard time finding the hotel, a very nice man drove ahead of us to lead us there. What a lovely hotel, the reception was very accommodating and spoke perfect English. This helped is to not have to try to settle in using broken Japanese. They helped is find a place to eat nearby, the Yunessun is right down the hill, although, we chose to take advantage of the amazing onsen right in the hotel. Bring the tiny modesty towel after suiting up in the provided yukata. Really great breakfast buffet, I would love to visit again and again! Superb in every way, the kids enjoyed the futon, best night of sleep I've had in ages! You can't beat the mountain views and friendly staff, a must visit vacation spot!

Difficult to get to & they provided us with no info on how to get there! If going, take any bus that goes to Yunnessen, the water park, from there, catch a small shuttle that runs every 15 minutes & goes to a few hotels in the area. Wisterian is a regular stop on that shuttle. The location is far from any sort of town area with eating options or streets to stroll. Prepare to be isolated! There is a restaurant in the hotel that you can do dinner at if you speak Japanese and can get a res. No English menu! There are 2 Italian cafe type restaurants in Yunnessen & a small snack bar type place too. So you can take the shuttle down there, or walk down, to eat there. But be prepared to walk back up the hill to Wisterian if you are out past 7:20 PM when the shuttle stops. There is a Family Mart across the street from Yunnessen that we visited to stock up on packaged meals. The staff at Wisterian speak NO English. That made most everything difficult for us in terms of planning how to get out & see the sites in Hakone. Internet only works in the lobby, not in the rooms. The rooms are very big. Our room was clean, however, we stayed for 3 nights & never had any housekeeping come in except to drop off new towels. The hot spring and "healthclub" areas of the hotel are dated and tired. For the price, I think the hotel is of good value. We found accomodations to be very expensive in Japan and this was the most space for our money we got the entire 3 weeks we were there!

Super resort. Everything was perfect from room to breakfast. Front desk was knowledgeable n conversive in English. Shuttle service was great and convenient. Bus service around area was was on time and exceptional. Pool was nice. Never tried onsen but going again. Happy Trails

This villa is super nice, IF you are looking for the traditional Japanese way of life. Simple and beautiful. It has everything you need to be comfortable, but it is not a luxury villa. The views make up.for it, the sound of the rain and the odd train in the evening (trains run until 11pm and start again at 6am) birds will wake up at 5am and they sound amazing! The location is great, 2.minute walk from the station, it is a steep hill and some narrow lanes to explore..the Google maps route is about a 10 minute walk and is longer with a main road. There is a shortcut through the houses and across the train tracks! Our host Yoshi was amazingly helpful - he spent alot of.time talking with me on WhatsApp to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed..he even booked us into the local onsen on our first day. And then he gave us late checkout and dropped our bags down to us at the station! What a legend! In summary tranquil, basic and very cosy.! Facilities are good, heaters in the rooms plenty of blankets and a fully stocked kitchen. The house is old.and so has some signs of use but nothing outrageous in my humble opinion. It feels well loved. We certainly loved it! Thanks Yoshi! ❤️🫡

I loved the traditional Japanese house and I love how old it was. It was super fun for a big group and a good location with a Conbini just a like 2 min walk away. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The beds were also very comfortable.

Home is perfect, very big so many rooms and bed is qiuite comfortable. Owner is very kind person he\she was always on connect with us. There are everything for comfortable staying, towels, tooth brashes, soap etc. Nice kitchen i dont know why some people complain. We stayed with friends and it was one of the best our home after tiny app and hotels in Tokyo. Bus station is not far from home.

The view from the widows was amazing, just being surrounded by nature in general was really nice. The host was also helpful and responded quickly!

Big Japanese house with a lot of space ,amazing view. all you need for enjoying this area and have a relaxing time.
