"Staying here is an extraordinary experience, stepping back in time to a ryokan as it was in the 1950s (and almost as it was in 1920). The hospitality is exceptional, the staff attentive and capable, and the room spacious and evocative of an earlier era. Visitors must realize that this means very little in modern conveniences: some rooms don’t have showers and all the rooms are Japanese style with tatami floors and futon beds (set out during dinner and removed during breakfast). There are many stairs, no elevator, and the outdoor shared baths are quite a walk through the (marvelous) garden. The meals are extravagant but totally Japanese. It is an experience not to be missed, but you need to know what you are getting. (The Imperial family apparently stayed here in 1955, the first time the Emperor had ever stayed outside the royal compound.) There many wonderful indoor and outdoor museums around the area, and several fantastic gardens. "

"This small hotel is an incredibly peaceful oasis. The food offerings were absolutely impeccable! There are no gym facilities but the private onsen is a wonderful way to end your day after touring the surroundings of Hakone. The care and attention from the staff was top notch! Our tea ceremony shortly after arriving was a wonderful way to get introduced to the hotel and the types of tea and wagashi available to us during our stay. Dinner was a different 10 course meal of fine dining every night with the dishes prepared by the staff on the island directly in front of your seating. Drink (alcoholic or not) pairings are given for about 1/2 the dishes too! An open bar after your meal is also a nice way to wind down before bedtime, with locally drinks mixed for you by the bartender. The only drawback to this hotel was that its location leaves you dependent on taking a local bus or finding a local taxi. Taxi service is very inconsistent as there are simply not enough drivers in the area relative to the demand for taxis, especially when it rains! That’s an issue for all hotels in the region. The hotel is about 0.5km away from the bus stop but it’s downhill or uphill depending on which way you are going. It’s only a few hundred meters further to walk directly to the ropeway to start your loop around the key visitor spots in the area. "

"The breakfast and dinner was very good. Make sure that you sign up or they won't feed you! Also no transportation on Sunday except the train at Gora."

"This was a true Japanese lodging experience. The staff was amazing. The hotel is a bit outdated but very clean. note there are no showers in the room (just toilet). Showers are shared in the onsen. Also for all of Hanoke, if you have mobility issues, please plan everything ahead of time. The staff at the hotel was super accommodating and went beyond making us feel hospitable and at home. "

"The accommodation is very nice, the staff is very attentive and friendly. The onsen is wonderful. I had a room with private hot spring because I didn’t know if I’d have the courage to use the public one, but I ended up using both. The private onsen is much colder and deeper than the public one (I was there in a cold night in April - 1oC). They serve traditional Japanese breakfast."
