A great traditional B&B-style hotel with private hot springs for men and women, as well as mixed private hot springs (reservation required in advance). During the trip, I thought the hotel was relatively expensive, but in fact it was really not expensive. The owner is a Chinese uncle from Japan who speaks Chinese very well. He inherited the family business and the service is warm and thoughtful. Breakfast and dinner are all authentic Japanese food. The accommodation is in a traditional Japanese style, and the tatami mats were arranged by the hotel staff on their own initiative. It was very comfortable to sleep on. Will come next time! ! !

The service is very good and will pay attention to all aspects of our needs! The boss can speak Chinese, so there is no need to worry about language barriers! The meal was very delicious! The hot spring is also very comfortable! Recommended!

I stayed here for the first time using the Kanagawa Travel Discount. I usually look for delicious inns with Izu cuisine based on word of mouth. Hakone has always been close to Yokohama, but the impression is that the price setting is about 10,000 yen higher for two people than Izu no Yado. At Rakuraka, I chose a Japanese-Western style room, which was spacious and clean, and was very relaxing. During my stay, I was healed by the voice of the warblers chirping nearby. The popular hot springs are hot springs, and the outdoor baths are hot, but you can enjoy the hydrangea blooming in the garden (although it was a little early). When you enter the bathroom, you can smell sulfur, but the hot water does not smell even though it is cloudy. The indoor bath is a little lukewarm, but it gradually warms up from the core of the long bath, keeping you warm all the time. This is the best place to enjoy hot springs. However, it was disappointing for me who wants to enjoy cooking. The first small bowl of nuta was delicious, but the other dishes weren't bad, but they weren't impressive (personal opinion). If you don't look at the menu, you won't know the material. I understand that it's more expensive than weekdays because I'm staying on Saturday, but isn't the cost of ingredients too low? Although the main shabu-shabu meat is branded pork, the appearance of the pork belly is disappointing. I also want to devise the pottery grill. The taste of the thick sauce is good, but I have the impression that it is made to be eaten with sauce. The shabu-shabu soup stock is also made from bonito and kombu sea****, so it might be a good idea to enjoy it as a zosui (rice porridge) that takes advantage of the umami from the generous amount of pork belly. Breakfast was different from dinner. The rice with sansho chirimen and the five-grain porridge on the scallops have an elegant taste. Butterbur miso, bamboo shoots boiled in Tosa, dashimaki* and horse mackerel were warm, and it was a simple yet heartfelt breakfast. What bothers me during breakfast and dinner is the constant running of the dishwasher, which makes enough noise to drown out the background music. I guess it's a matter of working hours restrictions, etc., but it's questionable in terms of "hospitality to customers." There is a nice lobby, so if there is a free drip coffee service, I think that coffee lovers will have a good impression. During my stay, the coffee service was only a discount coupon. If you like it, please bring it. Mr. Raku Hana thought that if the dinner quality was improved, Ashi no Yu could become a valuable inn where you can stay cheaply despite being on par with the Matsuzakaya main store.
