Dinners and breakfasts were very good. Service staff was exceptional and very courteous and responsive to our needs and requests. We didn't expect a pristine property. It is old and decaying, but has plenty of timeworn charm and character.
Facilities are worn. Lots of maintenance is needed. Don't even bother to reserve the private baths - they are terrible! The public baths are good enough

No onsen in the rooms. Yes individual onsen in the onsen area. Diner and breakfast are delicious.
Nothing to do around the hotel because it is all the way up in the mountains

Its traditional rooms, dining rooms and food. Also having the onsen bath is a good one.
The room was a bit smelly. Would have been better to have some are freshener.

the service is good. they explain each dish in english. meals are value for the buck. last day, train was suspended due to heavy rain and they offer shuttle bus all the way to hakone yumoto.
the onsen could be better maintained. u can see algae and spider web though it should be frequently used as there is no shower in the room so this is the only place to bathe. no lift. stairs a bit steep.

Traditional room for an authentic experience. The staff were all very accommodating and friendly. The dinner and breakfast meals were tasty. There is a free shuttle to and from Gora station (it is a steep walk without).
This hotel should have some renovation. The rooms, corridors and especially the Onsen are very old and out dated. We paid for the private Onsen room but it was not worth the additional fee. It is only a single bath tub in a small room. There is no wow factor to it. in summary, given the quality of the hotel, the price is unreasonable.

The location is great, just around the corner from the Gora cable car station and transfer to the ropeway. The staff are all very friendly and helpful - I don't know much Japanese, but most of the staff understood some English and couldn't do enough to help us. But the view is the biggest reason to recommend this ryokan; looking out of our window over the mountains was amazing.
You will need to hire an onsen if you want private access, and some of the photos of the onsen on here are things I didn't see at the ryokan. That said, it's excellent value for money for the location and the level of service.

The dinner and breakfast experience was amazing - so beautifully presented and curated. The onsen was also great!
It was an expensive stay and yet the rooms werre filthy - mould on the walls and the hand basin in the toilet was very dirty.

To be fair, I didnt like much. its well located next to Souzan station. however, you should note that from Odawara to there via public transport, its a 2h+ trip.
I booked through this website with breakfast but without dinner. I sent them MULTIPLE messages months and weeks in advance asking about booking dinner separately. They confirmed this via massage here, but when I arrived there they told me I didnt have dinner booked and there was nothing I could do. I showed them the messages and assured it was some miscommunication issue, but they were vehement. In fact, the person at reception became super rude and almost humiliated me telling me No, there is no dinner, final answer, dont you understand? to which I said got it, understood, but we are now in the middle of a mountain, main city centre is 2h away, what should I do for food? where should I go? to which they condescendingly said up to you giving me the shoulder. I was asking for recommendations of where to buy something or of a nearby place, but instead of giving me instructions or offering to make me a reservation somewhere else, they basically left me to fend off for myself. I went to the station - there were no restaurantes there - and basically bought some souveni sweets and that was my dinner. I could overlook that and put it up to miscommunication and maybe them not understanding English very well (it was clear that they werent used to foreigners, everything was written in Japanese only and they had trouble understanding me), but the place was also very old and moldy, I could hear everything from the other rooms and at one point a server got into my locked room without knocking first while I was getting dressed to offer me breakfast. For the price, its is supper disappointing and you can find better ryokans in Hakone.

Amazing breakfast served in the room. Great japanese experience
No other food facilities nearby and you must book dinner in advance. Unable to book dinner upon check in, lucky there was a Lawson near Gora station

If you're looking for what a traditional antique ryokan is, look no further. This place is definitely old, but with that age comes character. If you want a more modern stay you're going to need to look elsewhere. What it lacks because of age it makes up for in the incredibly friendly staff and delicious food. The woman who attended us for our meals was super nice and set everything up beautifully. She did not speak much English but sincerely made an effort to communicate with us. We didn't know what we were eating, but honestly didn't need to. It was all so delicious! My husband and I also took advantage of a private onsen. The bathroom itself was relatively small but that bath was GLORIOUS! After waking roughly 10 miles every day for half a week prior, it was so refreshing to soak. The water was hot and milky in color and left our skin feeling so smooth.
This ryokan is also 2 or so minutes from the ropeway and end line of the cable car. If you get a chance, I highly recommend getting there by the Tozan train then cable car as the views are beautiful. I recommend this ryokan if an older building isn't off-putting, as I really do think that the rest of the experience far outweighs the age of the building and the fact that things clearly need repair in areas.
Thank you for your information!
