Hotel Analysis
Based on 2 sites · 2,520 reviews
This historic ryokan, with over 140 years of tradition, is nestled in the nature of Hakone. Following a 2020 renovation, it blends the charm of traditional Japanese architecture with modern comfort, making it popular among travelers who value historical significance.
Guests particularly appreciate the cypress scent in the rooms, the spacious layout, and the beautiful views from the windows. The friendly service and serene atmosphere provide a deep sense of relaxation. Its convenient location for accessing major Hakone attractions is also frequently cited as a major advantage.
However, some guests note that the public hot spring is relatively small, which can feel crowded during peak times. Additionally, opinions on the dining options vary depending on personal taste, so it is worth considering this when booking.
