Top Motohakone Hotel Reviews

The Fujiya Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Iconic hotel. Lounge food was mediocre amenities and onsen awesome. Staff absolute perfection."

The Prince Hakone Lake Ashinoko

8/10 Good

"The property was beautiful, clean, and well-maintained. However, it was overpriced for what it offered. The only amenity was the onsen bath, which had separate facilities for men and women, so we couldn’t enjoy it together as a family. Overall, the experience did not justify the high price, and we felt we didn’t get good value for the money."

YuYu Hakone - Private Open Air Onsen Usage Guaranteed

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed 1 night and throughly enjoyed our time. We wish we had stayed longer. We arrived at the property after spending the day exploring Hakone. We had taken the pirate ship across Lake Ashi and then took a bus to the stop right outside the ryokan. We were instructed to remove our shoes and don the provided slippers. The staff warmly greeted us and confirmed our onsen time which we had scheduled the day before. We booked ours for after dinner. We were led to our room which was a very clean traditional Japanese room with tatami. There was also a tv and a patio which was nice! Dinner was not included but it wasn’t too expensive, and it was delicious! I know some ryokan you eat in your room, but I liked that they had a separate dining room. The view outside was all forested so it made for a nice backdrop for our meals. The open air onsen was wonderful and was nice and hot. There are also showers for washing before you enter the onsen. There are no showers in the rooms so we just used the onsen shower during our time slot. The futons in the room were very comfortable and it was the best night of sleep I had on our entire trip. We woke to our amazing kaiseki breakfast ready in the dining room, which was very nutritious and gave us the energy to hike all day. In all we would 100% stay here again. We loved the whole experience and it felt like a true traveler’s inn. Bonus points for Ice, the adorable kitty manager!"

Rakuten STAY VILLA Hakone Togendai

10/10 Excellent

"This was the best place we stayed after visiting three different areas. There was plenty of space for our whole family and upgrade features were nice. The hot tub/cold plunge area was amazing and I can't say enough good things. This location is a bit remote, so we struggled to get larger ride shares, but there was plenty of room for us and luggage on an early morning bus ride. Restaurants close early and there is no konbini nearby. Perfect location for the Hakone Loop."
