Hakone Hotel Guide - Hakone Tozan Cable Car hotels in Hakone, Japan.

"Incredibly attentive staff and a beautiful location. It feels like a hidden gem, and like you were transported into another world. It was such a stark contrast from Tokyo and was a real breath of fresh air. The food was excellent, the room was incredibly comfortable, and the outdoor hot spring was just delightful. This is also one of the few ryokans that is tattoo friendly, which was a big place for us."

"There are no words to describe how wonderful this hotel is and the staff is beyond exceptional. The in room onsen is worth every penny. We will be back!"

"Large and comfortable bed. In room onsen was fantastic and large enough for the two of us. Very friendly staff."

"Had a great 1 night stay with the wife and 2 teenagers in a Premier Deluxe Japanese Western room. Booked this as the one expensive special treat night for this trip. Room was clean, in excellent condition, very spacious and looked just like the photos on the website. The room having its own outdoor private onsen bath was fabulous. Dinner was excellent with every course looking and tasting amazing. Breakfast was also good with lots of options for the buffet. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. Just what I was hoping our stay would be like."

"We had a wonderful two-night stay at Hakone Yutowa. The location is excellent, just a few minutes’ walk from the Hakone-Gora station. The hotel offers a calm, pleasant atmosphere with beautiful greenery and trees throughout the grounds. While communication in English was occasionally a challenge, the staff remained incredibly friendly and professional. We thoroughly enjoyed both the public and private onsens. Our room was spacious, spotless, and well-equipped. The complimentary snacks and beverages were also a fantastic perk that added extra value to our stay, along with the restaurant onsite."

"This was our favourite stay for our whole Japan trip. We stayed at 3 other hotels. This place and area is unbeatable and i wish I would’ve booked a second night. I didn’t know that I would want to live this day again. The staff were ridiculously kind and helpful. At the end of our stay, I asked which bus and where I should take to get to Hakone-Yumi to and she literally left her post and started running to help me catch the bus. My son enjoyed free ice cream from the vending machine (which he loved). The band in the lobby before dinner was such a nice touch. The dinner and breakfast were perfect. Honestly, just the perfect relaxing spot for us. Would go back for sure. "

"Pleasant stay, excellent dinner!"

"The pictures and descriptions are not fully accurate. There is no big pool, etc. "

"This small hotel is an incredibly peaceful oasis. The food offerings were absolutely impeccable! There are no gym facilities but the private onsen is a wonderful way to end your day after touring the surroundings of Hakone. The care and attention from the staff was top notch! Our tea ceremony shortly after arriving was a wonderful way to get introduced to the hotel and the types of tea and wagashi available to us during our stay. Dinner was a different 10 course meal of fine dining every night with the dishes prepared by the staff on the island directly in front of your seating. Drink (alcoholic or not) pairings are given for about 1/2 the dishes too! An open bar after your meal is also a nice way to wind down before bedtime, with locally drinks mixed for you by the bartender. The only drawback to this hotel was that its location leaves you dependent on taking a local bus or finding a local taxi. Taxi service is very inconsistent as there are simply not enough drivers in the area relative to the demand for taxis, especially when it rains! That’s an issue for all hotels in the region. The hotel is about 0.5km away from the bus stop but it’s downhill or uphill depending on which way you are going. It’s only a few hundred meters further to walk directly to the ropeway to start your loop around the key visitor spots in the area. "
