Hakone Yutowa ★★★★

"The hotel is a 5–6 minute walk from Gora Station, making it convenient for exploring the area. They offer welcome drinks and snacks, along with complimentary coffee and beverages. Both breakfast and dinner were delicious; breakfast included congee, and dinner was a generous spread (buffet plus beef or fish teppanyaki). The room was newly renovated and quite spacious. While there's no bathtub, the indoor onsen is good (though no open-air bath, there is a foot bath). Service was decent, and it offers great value for money."

Setsugetsuka ★★★★

"Highly highly recommended Location: Super near Gora station very convenient to travel everywhere. There is even direct bus to and fro Gotemba premium outlet, Hakone-Yumoto and Odawara was convenient as well. Ryokan: Check in was great, front desk communicates and explains everything in English clearly. Was able to reserve my 2 night’s dinner upon checking in too. There were free snacks, lounge area with coffee/drinks/ice cream, you can choose your yukata for both male/female, daily nighttime free delicious ramen. Room: Excellent, bed was comfortable and there is an outdoor tub as well. Take note the tub will be filled with hot water instead of hot spring water. There was pyjamas as well. Onsen: There are 3 different outdoor private tubs which will light up when in used (first come first serve basis). We managed to try all 3 and our favourite was the wooden tub, followed by stone tub and lastly the one with 2 tubs (so each person to soak in 1). Queue can be quite long sometimes as this private onsen is popular among couples. To be considerate it is best to use it as quick as possible. Then there is the public onsen with both indoor and outdoor, hot, cold dips and sauna. Hot dips can reach up to 40-42 degrees. There is another human made hot water carbonation onsen which has lesser people since it is not hot spring water. I thoroughly enjoyed all the onsens. Meals: Highly recommend to opt the breakfast and dinner options. Restaurants close very early around 5pm so there are not a lot of dinner options outside the ryokan. Meals were excellent and Japanese Kaiseki style. Very delicious and there was so much food in the course meal. Overall 10/10 experience and I would choose this ryokan on my next trip."

Hakone Forest of Verde ★★★

"The room hygiene in Japan is quite good. For this trip, I even looked up the local hotel reviews and got them pushed to me. Japanese hotels are reliable."

Tsukino Yado Sara ★★★★

"Service was good especially Ms Tanaka Rion. She went out of her way to get our luagges back due to the snowstorm. Area was filled with food and small shops. Near to train station. Had a good stay with them."

Hotel Indigo HAKONE GORA by IHG ★★★★★

"We arrived by public bus, so it was relatively convenient, but the hotel's shuttle service wasn't very well-organized. Dinner was a bit different from what we expected, leaning more towards Western tastes, while breakfast was a rich buffet. The only minor flaw was that the stopper for the private hot spring drain tended to get stuck. The river sound was quite loud, possibly due to it being flood season. However, once we closed the balcony door at night, it was perfectly quiet. Thank you for the honeymoon gift, we were very happy about it."

Hot Spring Inn Hakone Suisen ★★★

"The room is large, the hot spring is of high quality, the service is very good, and it is a great experience."

KOBAKONi ★★★

Hakone Ashinoko Hanaori ★★★★

"The hotel environment is absolutely stunning, and the facilities are impeccably maintained. It's a popular spot for locals, so getting a reservation can be tough. Both the buffet dinner and breakfast offer a great variety of food, and the private onsen is fantastic. The staff are also very friendly and helpful."
