"Better than I could have dreamed
✓ I loved everything about this place. From the moment you turn the corner from the main road, you are transported to a new world. Everything is so personalized. When I arrived, the owner gave me a detailed orientation about the facilities and my room. My room was beautiful and immaculate. There is a complimentary coffee machine in the lounge that is open during certain parts of the day that I visited frequently. The open air hot spring was amazing. I loved the stay so much, I was trying to book another stay while still at the Ryokan. The breakfast was also amazing. It was seafood themed.
✗ Nothing.
"Authentic and comfortable ryokan
✓ Very nice old house, very nicely decorated room.
✗ The road nearby is noisy (lots of traffic), the bed cover was too hot for the season.
"Amazing place and I'd go again! A place to take anyone.
✓ It's an amazing place,
- Many options for onsen, private, indoor and tow outdoor, one open all night.
- Stable wifi (but I didn't test the speed directly)
- Decent breakfast (it was more continental though for those looking for more traditional).
- perfect blend of old and new style, rooms felt more traditional, but had modern comforts in most (the larger room didn't have built in bathroom, but shared bathroom was next to it, the smaller room had a toilet built in). Yukatas and traditional footwear provided during the stay
✗ - some rooms didn't have a toilet and only had shared. (No rooms we used had showers, but they aren't needed cause you shower at the onsen areas).
"This was one of the most beautiful and comfortable places I stayed during my time in Japan.
✓ Everything was incredible from the view to the food to the amenities.
"Beautiful stay feeling like in another world
✓ the room was very cute and super spacious, the hot springs are beautiful and it just felt like being in a ghilbi anime
✗ it would have been nice to have a full Japanese breakfast
"truly felt zen and relaxed !
✓ extremely cosy and yet exudes rustic feel at the same time ! reviews weren’t joking when it comes to the place looking like something out of a Ghibli film! toilets though shared were kept extremely clean , dry and with fragrance . Really thumbs up for this . also the hot spring baths were free to use even though I had tattoos ! keep up the good standard Kansuiro!
✗ if dinner meals could be included it would be good as the nearest place to get food is way back at Hakone Yumoto station .
"nevertheless I enjoy the stay. will stay here if come back Hakone
✓ I love the little open air Onsen, the traditional structure of the building, and the delicate breakfast! The location is convenient as most of the buses will pass by. The service of the reception is good and with patience. Thank you.
✗ the shower room is not in the room, it’s at 2nd floor for ladies. the room only has toilet and a basin. it’s a little inconvenient for me as I am a little bit clumsy.
"A relaxing get away to decompress from the daily worries of life.
✓ A magical hide away in the mountains near Hakone. Small ryokan means not a lot of commotion, easy and in other access to the open air baths, and a great all around experience. Be warned, restaurants in the area close early so plan accordingly but an escape from the hustle and bustle of the city is exactly what is needed!
✗ Nothing!
