    Loved our host Suki who was incredibly hospitable and kind. She took amazing care of us as if we were family. The lobby view was also incredible.

    All staff had been really friendly and helpful, but special shout out to my dinner server Takano Saki 高野早紀さん, she’s the best! So sweet and polite, explained the meal very well and made some great recommendations, she made my dinner time extra enjoyable! And the note she left for me was such a surprise, felt very heart warming and sweet when I saw it on the breakfast table! I like almost everything about the hotel, except for the bugs at the onsen area lol. Had a great time here, definitely will come back if I decided to go to Hakone again.

    We had a few huge ants in the master bedroom which made me feel worried that we would have more throughout the stay but it was not an issue. Third person had to sleep on futon mattress on floor that the team set up which we would have preferred another bed but it was comfortable.

    Breathtaking area and hotel. Loved private onsen, room, amenities, dinner and breakfast. Welcome tea and treat was so nice after travel. Kaiseki dinner was delicious in our private dining area. Our attendant for meals was very attentive and thorough. Sitting area was gorgeous and all available drinks, snacks and candy were nice touch. Room was spacious and felt like ryokan style.

    Be prepared that breakfast and diner are really Japanese (no Western influences at all). So a lot of fish, seaweed, fermented vegetables, miso soup, tofu, mochi, ....). For us it was part of a true stay in Japan but I can imagine not everyone will love this food.

    Authentic stay in a Ryokan with hotel services. Boutique style. Real Japanese experience (accommodation, food, feeling). Very comfy room with private onsen spa in our garden/terrace.

    The staff was very attentive and went the extra mile to help with our baggage transfer. The food was amazing, and the hot springs was excellent. My 8 year old daughter said our stay was the best part of our trip (and we had gone to Tokyo Sea Disney and Sanrioland). One of the most memoral/best hotel stays I've ever had.

    The meal was exquisite and beautiful, but was very one note with protein selection as majority of it was seafood. There was no way of cleaning out the onsen bath after it rained with thunderstorm the night before. The net that was provided was not able to capture all of the debris which were pretty large pieces.

    The staff being very friendly and hospitable. The private onsen and location was perfect.

    We had a great, relaxing stay. We stayed in the Haruka room. The views were amazing and tranquil. The onsen on the balcony was just what we needed after walking 26K steps a day in Tokyo and Kyoto. We were happy to learn that the dinner and breakfast menu changed each day and offered a variety of dishes we hadn't tried before. They offer complimentary wine, spirits, and snacks in the evening. My only complaint is that most of the snacks were candy. The public onsen was stocked with everything you needed. It was clean and serene. I definitely recommend this ryokan. PSA... guests come to this ryokan to relax, please be mindful of your noise level. We had the loudest family seated next to us at dinner, who had no respect for others. The staff was very apologetic, but it wasn't their fault. Please don't be those people.

    Not a negative thing but just a note to fellow non-Japanese travellers. We chose the Japanese breakfast and it was more unusual - however I would recommend trying it since you are there!

    Amazing visit! Lovely atmosphere and the overall vibe was just wonderful. Free snacks, the private onsen and the views were our favorite things. Would definately go again, was so relaxing🙏
