Guest Reviews

Hakone Kowakien Mikawaya Ryokan

Trip.com 10 Family

A precious place to experience the beauty and history of a traditional Japanese house. Breakfast is excellent.

Agoda 9.6 Couple

A true traditional Japanese vintage ryokan. Great private onsen and stunning room views.

Trip.com 8.5 Friends

The combination of tatami rooms and beds in a 140-year-old traditional ryokan is great.

The public bathroom is hot and the tub is small, making it awkward when crowded.
