Amazing place with amazing staff! Facilities are just absolutely amazing and the food is just so authentic and tasty. 

I also want to say that I have tattoos so, I wasn't able to enter the public onsens but the privates and the one in my room barely made me miss it. 

Also, souvenir shop is great and the yukatas that they lend you are just absolutely lovely.

It's a great getaway from the traditional Hakone crowds. We booked the private onsen due to the tattoo policies and the top floor rooms have a good view to the moutains. The restaurant facilities, service and politeness are great and we would definitely return.

A great plus: an amazing cascate easy trail 5min away from the hotel. With the right shoes it takes 45-1h to reach the lake and avoid the crowds piling up on the hakone bus services.

A must stay if you are visiting Hakone! It's a 15 minute walk away from Hakone Yumoto station, or you can pay 200 yen to take the shuttle bus there. You can deliver your luggages there using the baggage service at the train station (for a fee). Place is clean and best of all, there's so many perks staying here. Firstly, there's free private onsen (subject to first come first serve). Secondly, dinner and breakfast are provided. Just need to select your preferred timeslot and head to the restaurant then. Food was delicious, and serving was generous as well. They also serve free ramen at 10.30pm, although it was just a simple bowl of noodles. There's also free drinks provided at L1 and L3, and some free snacks as well at the hotel lobby.

It is one of the best hotel ever visited, the location is great, near to Gora station, direct bus to Gotemba premium outlet, the room is nice and clean with personal onsen, there are 3 private onsen can be used freely if available. There are even hand grind coffee equipment in the room for you to make coffee. Snack, drink, beer and all beverages are free.

Their breakfast and dinner are outstanding, the dinner is 8 course cuisine, take almost 2 hours to complete. Highly recommended.

Of course all the services come with a price of almost 40000 yen per person per day, but is really worth it. Will stay in the hotel again if revisit Hakone.

An absolutely fantastic hotel with magnificent scenery and surroundings. It even has foot bath pools right at the entrance. Visiting during the off-season, the price was incredibly reasonable. The hot spring baths within the hotel require no extra charge. There are both outdoor and indoor pools, including options for shared and private hot springs. Any private bath with its light on is available for guests to use. However, please note that the private baths do not have shower facilities.

The hotel also organizes several complimentary activities, such as marshmallow roasting. Nestled in a forest, the views are simply breathtaking, no matter where you look.

At specific times, guests can enjoy complimentary ice cream, milk, yogurt, coffee, and afternoon tea. There's also a delicious free dinner offered at certain hours, though restaurant reservations are essential. The beautiful views from the restaurant windows make dining there an absolute delight.

The hotel offers bathrobes in a wide range of colors and patterns, allowing guests to choose according to their personal taste. While the selection for children's bathrobes is more limited (unlike other hotels that often only provide one generic style), the hotel is still very thoughtful and accommodating.

I recently enjoyed a fantastic staycation at a hotel featuring a beautiful onsen, and it was exactly what I needed! From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warm hospitality and a serene atmosphere. The onsen was a highlight of my stay—immersing myself in the soothing hot springs while surrounded by nature was incredibly rejuvenating. 

The hotel’s environment is simply stunning, offering a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. I took long walks in the nearby gardens, which were beautifully maintained and provided a peaceful backdrop for relaxation. 

One thing to note is the parking fee of 1100 yen per night ( from 2pm) , which I found reasonable considering the convenience. Overall, this staycation was a delightful experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to unwind and enjoy some tranquility. I can’t wait to return for another relaxing getaway!

The Maps lead us to further location And imagine we had passed the building like 3times back and forth but didn’t know that was it. Pls update the location on the maps here on trip. Room is ok, no shower room no big issue coz we go to onsen anyway. Got buffet dinner and breakfast. But receptionist didn’t update the breakfast cut off time is 8:45am and we reach there by 8:50 its already closed. One thing about japanese onsen resort is that they will close everything in the morning to prevent customer to fully utilise the facilities for what we paid for. We usually rest on the evening the day we arrive and only use the facilities in the morning. Not really recommended here  coz they really scare their customer use the facilities😂

Amazing ryokan to stay for a night in Kusatsu Onsen. Staff were all friendly and welcoming, and were 
helpful in explaining the ryokan’s facilities in English. 
Both breakfast and dinners are must-have experiences with this ryokan’s stay. The spread was delightful, and the produce used was fresh and delicious. 
The 3 private baths available were each unique and relaxing in the cold spring weather.

Pro:
- cooked amazing vegetarian dinner and breakfasts (without dashi)
- stunning isolated location in the mountain (7 hours from tokyo)
- open baths are beautiful and open around the clock
- room was spacious and calm

Con
- you need to call them to plan your pickup. They don t really answer written messages online
- strong tobacco smell in the first shuttle bus but not for the return

Pros:
1. The room was incredibly spacious, with 4 beds even though we were only a party of 3. The mountain view from the room was fantastic!
2. Overall cleanliness was good.
3. Excellent location near Yubatake, where local shops and dining options are plentiful.
4. The private onsen was amazing, with a convenient button to refill hot water into the tub.
5. Special afternoon and evening times offered free food at the lounges, including ice cream, turnip soup, sausages, noodles, and special amenities like complimentary interdental brushes and facial masks.
6. Hotel staff provided excellent and efficient service.
7. Dinner was a delightful 7-course meal, with each evening featuring a different menu.
8. Breakfast was quite good with a decent variety.
9. The complimentary parking area was spacious with plenty of spots, located right next to the hotel entrance.

Cons:
1. There isn't much to criticise about the place. Perhaps the breakfast spread could vary slightly each day.
