Hotel Analysis
Based on 4 sites · 2,923 reviews
A traditional ryokan nestled in the mountains of Hakone. Guest reviews most frequently mention the serene atmosphere surrounded by nature and the onsen.
Reviews across booking sites repeatedly praise the 'excellent and peaceful onsen.' Rooms are cozy tatami-style with comfortable bedding, and staff kindness along with kaiseki meals receive high marks. The forested location allows rest without traffic noise.
However, many complain about the uphill walk from the bus stop. It's tough with luggage or breathing issues. Some rooms have cigarette or mold smells, thin walls let noise through, and facilities feel dated.
Best for those with a car or couples and families seeking quiet onsen relaxation in nature.
