10.0+Lovely house and kind host. Beautiful view of the mountains and the room is very authentically Japanese. Very good value for the location and the privacy.
−Not a dislike, but be aware it can get quite cold as it’s a wooden house. Credit card isn’t accepted so bring cash for payment.

10.0+8 min walk from Gora station. warm welcome and the hospitality of the owner, she even prepares hot water and eggs for us in breakfast time. I would choose this place again if I travel to Hakone next time.

4.0+The owner is very friendly and serves tea and eggs or sweets in the morning. The location is quite convenient to explore Hakone and its surroundings. The Ryokan is situated in a very calm neighbourhood with a forest on the opposite side of the street. The Onsen is very hot (53°C from the wall), but can be mixed down to 40°C for a comfortable experience.
−Basically everything in this house is somewhat broken and in a bad condition. Lamp shades are broken, windows don't close properly, sinks are old. And unfortunately most things are also very dirty. There was a lot of dust on top of the windows, the curtains, in the corners, ... The toilet was clean tho. The slippers provided are way too small for western feet and also are super old.

8.0+Really lovely, authentic Japanese homestay. The host is friendly and welcoming. House is well-equipped. We liked the quiet location, traditional house and the private onsen was an excellent addition. We were delivered coffee and eggs in the morning directly to our room.

10.0+Wer eine authentische, lokale Unterkunft sucht, ist hier genau richtig. Man fühlt sich als wäre man bei einer netten japanischen Grossmutter zuhause. Das Zimmer liegt im oberen Stock des Hauses und ist im traditionellen Ryokanstil gehalten. Die Gastgeberin war sehr herzlich und hat uns super lieb aufgenommen. Danke für die schöne Zeit!

9.0“Such a lovely stay”
+Can’t do more immersive that this ! It feels like going to your grandma’s house for the holidays except your grandma is Japanese haha. My stay felt very authentic and yet still comfortable. The owner is a very sweet lady who welcomes you very warmly. Each morning, I had the chance to find a breakfast in front of my door with tea, eggs and biscuits which was so thoughtful and kind of her. The room is very clean and big, and the futon was very comfortable. I am so happy I chose this place for my trip in Hakone
−No notes ! But know that it is a 10-15mins by walk from Gora station with a notable uphill which can be difficult with heavy luggages. And also, no convenience store nearby or restaurants for dinner so plan accordingly

7.0“Für zwei Nächte ok und eine Erfahrung wert.”
+Also an sich eine Erfahrung wert, aber nicht für einen langen Aufenthalt gedacht, max. zwei Nächte. Sauber war das Zimmer, aber man darf nicht genauer hinsehen. Dusche und Onsen auch sehr alt aber mit Flair. Auf dem Boden schlafen war sehr gut. Gab ein Mini Frühstück jeden Morgen
−Liegt sehr am Berg und mit 20kg Koffer ein ganz schöner Akt bis dorthin. Nicht so sauber und ziemlich alt alles
