Good onsen ryokan. Service and the onsens were amazing. The kaiseki dinner was traditional and good, but wouldn’t say it was exceptional. Area near the ryokan is very picturesque and nice to roam around

Great stay; a little dated
Pretty good location at the end of the Hakone-yumoto area. Check-in was quick and easy and the staff was very friendly. We have tattoos so the public onsen was a no-go but we got a room with a private onsen. The hotel is pretty but seems pretty dated. The room was nice but also dated. The onsen was gorgeous and relaxing minus some of the bugs and such. The sound of the rushing water from the river was relaxing and definitely made it easier to imagine being in a far off and isolated area. The dinner was great and had a variety of seasonal dishes. The provided sake was sweet and chilled. The ramen restaurant inside the hotel was also nice and had a very small restaurant feel. The staff there was friendly and accommodating. I love this area so I might stay here again

Long history of the facility, the surrounding is breath taking with the sound of river running outside the room I stayed in was bright and spacious. The Japanese style dinner and breakfast choosen was delicious. However keep in mine due to the age of the property cleanliness in certain area are missed. The toilet room is an older type and it has a strong funky smell, not the sulphuric acid from the area...

relaxing trip to Hakone
We stayed for just one night but it was a very relaxing visit. Outstanding hospitality, great food - very accommodating of a vegetarian in our party. Lovely onsen and room. The hotel could do with a bit of an update but overall it was very charming and I’d happily return to visit again.

The property is what everyone could desire. Barely 5min walk to the Hakone Yumoto station and bus stops where you can hop on to get around. You will have access to all the restaurants, souvenir shops, convenient stores and you name it. The property also provides everything you would need. Their Onsen is my fav. Soak indoor or outdoor, shared Onsen or personal tub. Simply loving it! Would definitely return when I next visit Hakone.

Great Hotel, would stay there again the next trip
The hotel is about 10 minutes' walk from the train station. Front desk staff speak English and are friendly and helpful. Four of us stayed one night in a traditional Japanese room, which is clean and very spacious. The futon is very comfortable and we had a very good sleep after one day out. We enjoyed and relaxed ourselves at the public onsen as there were only a few people when we were there. A lot of the eateries nearby close quite early in the evening, so it might be a good idea to include the options for dinner and breakfast when making reservations. Overall, a good experience staying in this hotel and would stay there again the next time we visit Hakone.

Hotel doesnt have wifi in the room. They claimed the wifi is abaible at the lobby but it didnt work!! We asked the hotel staff to check on the lobby wifi, the lady just said “im sorry it’s not working”, and didn’t even try to fix. The hotel staff was not very helpful ( wasn’t willing to help!), speak very little english.

Unique Experience in Japan
My mother and I highly enjoyed our stay at this excellent hotel. Our spacious room had clean, fresh, well-maintained tatami flooring. We were given Yukata to wear during our in-room dining, as well as our trips to the relaxation lounge and the onsen. Our room also came with our own private, miniature onsen. I wouldnt stay anywhere else in Hakone. Hotel Kajikaso is the way to go.

Fantastic experience.
We stayed at this Ryoken for two nights in the traditional Japanese style room with open air bath. Very large room with a beautiful Onsen; I can’t emphasize how AWESOME the private oneen was. If you don’t wanna get nakey in front of other people but still want to experience the hot springs bath, get the private one. The service was fantastic. The lady who set us up our breakfast and dinner reminded us of a cute little grandma spoiling us with food. The half board meals were good with a huge variety of different traditional Japanese foods. The only thing I would change is adding some blackout curtains in the morning. The sun rose directly into our room and with no curtains to block the light (just the traditional looking paper style windows) we were up at 5:30 in the morning. Overall a spectacular experience and a great way to see traditional Japanese culture.

Awesome Ryokan experience
Awesome ryokan! We loved every minute of our stay. We had a family room (4 adults and 2 kids, age 5 and 7) with private Onsen which is totally the way to go to pamper yourself. We also enjoyed the public baths too. Lots of amenities for bathing. They also had children size yukatas and slippers for the kids. We were welcomed to our rom with tea and red bean sweets. Very nice touch. Kaiseki dinner was lovely and delicious, as was breakfast as well. We would recommend this hotel to everyone!

Relaxing getaway
We had the private onsen room, it was very nice, room conditions was perfect. Everything as expected if not better... One improvement will be the staffs, the check in staff who got us to the room didn’t give us enough instructions regarding the room itself... and we had to discover by ourselves what most facilities were for... also the food they served for dinner and breakfast we had no idea what we were having, or whether there is a specific way to take them... my mum was happy thou, so I’m good

Convenient
The location is very convenient, 10minutes walk from JR, staff is very nice helping carrying the luggage, tried their best speaking English, helping charging the room with private hot spring, but charge extra 21600 plus tax yen, food is not that good, we paid $800 CAD in total for one night hotel, not worthy. If choose the cheaper date, whole service is ok
