Find 4-Star Hotels in Hakone

"The hotel room is spacious, and on a clear day, you can see the snow-capped Mount Fuji directly from the seaside garden – it's absolutely stunning! This foldable makeup mirror is super cool! If you get a front-facing lake view room, you can literally lie down and enjoy the entire panorama from your room! The hotel is right next to the pirate ship pier and the H bus terminal! It's also really convenient to get to Gotemba Outlet; just transfer from the H line to the M line. For returning to Hakone-Yumoto Station, you can ride the bus all the way to the end, and there's a bus stop right in front of the hotel! Overall, I'm extremely satisfied!"

"My friends and I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The location was good—conveniently situated near a train station and easily accessible. The room was clean, spacious (considering in Japan), and well-maintained, with all the amenities I needed for a comfortable stay. The staff were friendly, professional, and always willing to help, which made the experience even better. Check-in and check-out were smooth and efficient. Had a great view of Mount Fuji from the room on clear days. Facilities was simple yet sufficient. The breakfast spread had a relatively good variety and tasted great. Overall, I’d definitely recommend this hotel for both business and leisure travelers. Looking forward to staying here again!"

"Facilities: As expected from a century-old garden, it's a truly exquisite Japanese style. The room even has a private hot spring, and it's incredibly clean! A germaphobe's dream! Hygiene: Extremely clean, and the yukata (robe) was very comfortable. Don't even get me started on the food – it was beyond amazing, with two different meals a day. The service was superb too! Environment: Very comfortable and quiet. I especially loved the garden; I imagine it would be even more beautiful during autumn when the maple leaves change. Service: Excellent! The front desk staff even remembered me by face."

"This was my first time visiting Hakone, and I chose Miharuya, a historic ryokan with a rich past, even visited by Sun Yat-sen. It's an older place, but overall quite good, and the value for money was decent. For less than 2000, it included breakfast and dinner for a family of three. The only downside was the inconvenient transportation. You need to take a shuttle from the main station, but thankfully, there's a free minibus that connects nearby hotels. A pleasant surprise was a large onsen amusement park nearby. It was my first time experiencing swimming and going down a slide in an onsen, and we spent a long time there – it was absolutely fantastic."

"I absolutely loved this hotel! Everything from booking, arranging the shuttle via email, to check-in and check-out, was incredibly smooth. The private onsen, which I reserved in advance via email, was also a wonderful experience. The location is fantastic, right next to Togendai – just a 5-minute walk away. It's super convenient for visiting Owakudani and taking the Hakone Sightseeing Cruise. If the hotel shuttle schedule doesn't work for you, you can easily catch a bus from Togendai to Odawara hub. What's more, the Togendai bus runs every 15 minutes, and it's the starting point, so you'll never have to worry about not getting a seat or a place for your luggage. The hotel's buffet breakfast and dinner, with free-flowing drinks, were also a highlight. Most importantly, my husband left his headphones at the hotel. When we realized, we were already in Kamakura, preparing to head to Yokohama. We immediately called the hotel, and their response was incredibly fast. They quickly located the headphones and sent them via courier to the nearest express pickup point at our Yokohama hotel. We received them successfully before returning home. A huge thank you! I highly recommend this hotel to everyone. There was not a single thing to complain about throughout our stay."

"Highly recommend this hotel, though the building looks weird but the view from the hotel rooms, onsen and the free lounge was amazing. However this place is only accessible if you have a vehicle. The public Bath had two outdoor tubs with beautiful view of the Mt fuji. I have stayed with the hotel next to outlet before, in comparison, this was so much quieter, less crowds and better view."

"Highly highly recommended Location: Super near Gora station very convenient to travel everywhere. There is even direct bus to and fro Gotemba premium outlet, Hakone-Yumoto and Odawara was convenient as well. Ryokan: Check in was great, front desk communicates and explains everything in English clearly. Was able to reserve my 2 night’s dinner upon checking in too. There were free snacks, lounge area with coffee/drinks/ice cream, you can choose your yukata for both male/female, daily nighttime free delicious ramen. Room: Excellent, bed was comfortable and there is an outdoor tub as well. Take note the tub will be filled with hot water instead of hot spring water. There was pyjamas as well. Onsen: There are 3 different outdoor private tubs which will light up when in used (first come first serve basis). We managed to try all 3 and our favourite was the wooden tub, followed by stone tub and lastly the one with 2 tubs (so each person to soak in 1). Queue can be quite long sometimes as this private onsen is popular among couples. To be considerate it is best to use it as quick as possible. Then there is the public onsen with both indoor and outdoor, hot, cold dips and sauna. Hot dips can reach up to 40-42 degrees. There is another human made hot water carbonation onsen which has lesser people since it is not hot spring water. I thoroughly enjoyed all the onsens. Meals: Highly recommend to opt the breakfast and dinner options. Restaurants close very early around 5pm so there are not a lot of dinner options outside the ryokan. Meals were excellent and Japanese Kaiseki style. Very delicious and there was so much food in the course meal. Overall 10/10 experience and I would choose this ryokan on my next trip."

"I was so surprised that I could stay in such a nice hotel for this price! My friend and I went together, and it even included an all-you-can-drink alcohol and soft drink option, which we really enjoyed! I'd love to stay here again the next time I visit Hakone!"

"Feeling absolutely fantastic! I booked this ryokan with a bit of hesitation because I'd seen a negative review concerning the food. However, upon checking in, I immediately realized that the hotel was completely misunderstood and undeserving of such criticism. Every single aspect of our stay was utterly flawless. The staff, in particular, were incredibly kind, warm, and wonderful. Please, promise me this: let's all, as fellow travelers, truly cherish and support this unique place. It's genuinely unlike any other, and it truly deserves our profound appreciation. I simply *must* speak up for this inn: Originally the villa of the Iwasaki family (of Mitsubishi Zaibatsu fame), built in 1929, it transformed into a hot spring ryokan in 1949 and boasts nearly a century of rich history. The Showa Emperor and Empress once resided here, and historical figures like Sun Yat-sen and Liang Qichao also had brief stays. Stepping inside, my mind constantly conjured images of these textbook personalities, creating an incredibly surreal and awe-inspiring sensation. The scenery here is so breathtaking that photos taken with a phone could easily pass for professional online images. The weather was pleasant, with the constant hum of cicadas and a gentle breeze. As I explored the entire forested area, I noticed meticulous details everywhere, clearly demonstrating the thoughtful maintenance and preservation. Here's a message I personally translated and sent to the hotel: To the esteemed staff of the ryokan, We are profoundly grateful for your continuous and exceptional hospitality. Even for humble guests like us, you embraced us with such warmth and genuine smiles. Thank you sincerely. We truly feel that the profound charm of this inn, steeped in a century of history, has deeply resonated with us, thanks to the individual thoughtfulness of each of you. We wholeheartedly wish for the sustained prosperity of this ryokan for many years to come. And we hope, alongside all of you, that this warm sanctuary and its profound historical legacy will be treasured and lovingly shared with all future guests. We eagerly look forward to our next visit. With our deepest gratitude,"

"I booked a one-night, two-meal package at this hotel. The room was a Japanese-style tatami room. The hotel is a 12-minute walk from Hakone-Yumoto Station and has a very distinctive ambiance with its courtyard, waterfall, and koi fish. The staff were attentive and detail-oriented. The dinner offered a wide variety of dishes, including sashimi, sushi, and tempura. What left the deepest impression was the natural hot spring, which provided a truly delightful and relaxing experience for both body and mind!"
