Best Hakone Spa Hotels

Ten-yu at Hakone Kowakien is a luxurious escape nestled in nature. The private onsen in every room, featuring Shigaraki-yaki bathtubs, is pure bliss. The infinity onsen on the 6th floor offers breathtaking views, especially at sunset. We loved the teppanyaki dinner at the historic Guest House, a true culinary experience. The serene valley garden is perfect for a relaxing stroll. The staff was attentive and the overall atmosphere was incredibly tranquil. Highly recommend for a rejuvenating getaway! Don't miss the delicious sashimi and crab for breakfast!

Check in and out was a very long process during peak hours. They were also very not accommodating for a family of 4 in the double queen room, even though there was ample space. The location was also quite inaccessible via bus from the train station. Rooms were clean. Nice to have laundry in basement (but must use Suica to operate), and the only restaurant at the hotel was hard to book. There is a convenient store right next to hotel. The onsen was lovely, but they switch the genders daily so be cautious!!

We stayed at Byakudan and loved it. The staff were very kind and high quality of service. From the moment we walked in, we were attended to in great detail and provided excellent service and amenities. We stayed in the Jin Suite and it was very spacious, comfortable, clean and relaxing. The furnishings were a nice blend of Japanese and Western. The open air private onsen was large and private. Every dish in the Kaiseki dinner and breakfast were delicious. We will definitely come back to stay at Byakudan in Hakone Gora again!

This is one of the best ryokan I have ever stayed in. Firstly, the location is right next to Gora Station, less than five minutes walk, which makes a big difference if you've come from, say, Tokyo to Hakone. Additionally, the rooms were comfortable and the private baths/balcony feature available for all rooms is lovely. The Double Western room we stayed in had the best of both worlds with the traditional Japanese bath and a comfortable bed (while futon are fine, we preferred a bed). Finally, the samue monk work clothes the hotel lends you to wear as sleepwear is so comfortable, my only complaint is that there are none available for purchase. Also, the hot spring bath facilities were great. We only used the shared not public ones, but they were clean, beautifully designed, and well ventilated (which is important for not getting overheated). Travellers take note: a lot of restaurants in the area close after 7pm, and the dinner set is on the pricier side, so best to plan your dinner accordingly. The restaurants we did try (notably an udon/soba place) was very good. And the nearby shuttle to Pola Art Museum/13 min from Hakone Open Air Art Museum make this a good hotel for art-lovers. The staff are friendly and helpful too.

Very good experience ~ Booked a room with breakfast, dinner and private hot spring. The breakfast and dinner tasted very good, and the service of the staff was also very good ~ The hotel provides a shuttle bus to the nearby Gora Station, which is very convenient to visit the surrounding attractions ~ From Gora Station to the Sculpture Forest, you only need to take a mountain train to get there. I will stay here again next time I come to Hakone ~

Due to the limited number of rooms (20 rooms in total), Hakone Ginyu is known as one of the most difficult hotels to book in Hakone. This time I was able to successfully book by chance, which was an unexpected surprise. The actual experience was indeed in line with expectations. The private hot spring in the room was great, and taking a bath facing the valley not far away was indeed a wonderful experience. The breakfast and dinner provided by the hotel are also very good, highly recommended 🌹

Excellent hotel Large space, separate wet and dry bathrooms There is also a large balcony with mountain views The buffet breakfast is very rich, with many varieties and delicious Kid-friendly I will stay here again next time

The hotel is located in the mountains of Hakone, a little further inside than many famous hotels in Hakone. The hotel is very large. It may be because it is cold on the mountain that the trees are not as good as those in other places in Hakone. It is relatively close to take a bus or a taxi from Gora Station. Hakone Yumoto is relatively far away and it costs about 400 to take a taxi. The hotel consists of a building and 17-8 villas. I booked an ordinary wood stove double bed room before, but I upgraded to a villa after arriving at the site. I was very satisfied with the stay. The facilities of the villa are relatively complete, quiet, and living in the forest, you can see the stars at night. May It's still very cool at night in the Hakone Mountains. It feels great to burn a wood stove in the villa. The villa has an outdoor hot spring pool and a big courtyard, but there are no flowers and flying insects, which feels a bit wasteful. The Western breakfast is exquisite, rich and delicious, and the Western dinner set is also delicious. You can pay extra to replace the pork with beef. There are all kinds of birds and a free coffee and tea lounge. It feels very quiet and reconciled with the city. In short, it is worth the money compared to the price and the products and services provided. It's just too quiet at night. I'm a little worried about safety when I can't see people sleeping. I suggest that the merchant strengthen the security measures of the door.

One of the best I have ever stayed. Can’t be picky on it! They have everything at the top standard - service, facilities, staffs, food etc. The hotel itself can already be a touristy spot for half to one day, given it’s a historical building with stories. Highly recommended!
