Top Motohakone Hotel Reviews

Hakone Kowakien TEN-YU

10/10 Excellent

"Property was serene and peaceful. Rooms were comfortable and really enjoyed our private onsen. Breakfast and dinner were both remarkable."

Ryuguden

8/10 Good

"Unfortunately due to weather Mt Fuji view wasn’t there from the room. There is an issue with mosquitoes in the room despite insect repellent and the room had a distinct moist smell. The outdoor onsen is good. There isn’t any rule observations for onsen though as I have witnessed foreigners with large uncovered multiple tattoos entering the onsen without showering or covering the tattoos. The Kaiseki dinner was ok, less than my last stay at a different ryokan. Considering the price it’s a little disappointing."

Hotel de Yama, Hakone Lake Side

10/10 Excellent

"I only booked a room for one night but Hotel de Yama was a great place to stay. It's a short hike away from the Motohakone stop, and if you choose to walk it you will need to walk on the road. Cars in the area seem to be used to this though so as long as you're on the shoulders you will be OK. Otherwise, they provide a free shuttle bus that picks up directly in front of the 7-Eleven by the bus station The hotel itself is quite close to the torii gate, which is nice. I didn't get a chance to use the public bath, but the Japanese style breakfast in their restaurant was really nice and delicious. Due to my short stay I also didn't get a chance to explore the large garden area, but it seems very well kept by the staff, from what I saw from my room window."

Hakone Ashinoko Hanaori（ORIX HOTELS & RESORTS）

10/10 Excellent

"It has a quality 4-star feel. We did the 40-minute private onsen and had one in our room. The buffet, including all you can drink, had a good variety of Japanese and Western options. It’s close to the pirate ship and ropeway if interested. Otherwise, it’s remote, but that was important to us. We’ll be back."
