Private. Great breakfast and Dinner Kaisan in room service. Relaxing orsen in room

We enjoyed her very much. We will recommended our relatives and friends to stay here in the future. Thank you!

Excellent staff service and meals, made our first onsen and ryokan experience very memorable!

My wife and I spent our expensive honeymoon night here and we couldn’t be happier! The in room dining and private onsen were a terrific experience and would highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a traditional stay that isn’t too rough on your wallet. We loved it here!

Beautiful venue, kind and attentive staff that are very welcoming and friendly. Easy to reserve the private onsen and very good amenities. The food was delicious but if you are a traveler with food allergies i would recommend confirming with the staff before and during your stay. They will accommodate your needs, however, we had to remind the staff of my partners food allergies a few times as the menu did not initially follow the food restrictions. I would recommend confirming with your host as they bring in each course.

The open air Onsen and meals were incredible! It was the traditional Japanese ryokan style hotel. Hotel staff were very professional. Thank you for the hospitality and wonderful experience.

Beatiful, very well located, clean ryokan. Service and staff were amazing. Excellent food. Walking distance from Hakone-Yumoto station. Large tatame room, great shower and sauna. Missed a place to sit besides floor chairs, but that is what you sign for when in a traditional ryokan. Would surely be back!

Beautiful ryokan that has been a highlight of our trip. There was so much food for both dinner and breakfast, which gave us the chance to try some more unusual dishes. The staff make the place, friendly and attentive, they make you feel very welcomed and take care of all your needs.

If you’re looking for a traditional Japanese Inn stay, this was fun for a night. As Americans the entire concept was foreign to us but we looked forward to fully immersing ourselves for an evening. If you’re in the same boat as us some recommendations: Be prepared to be a little confused. The slippers are difficult to walk in so it feels silly walking up the stairs to your room however it’s a fun experience. Take it slow although the staff may not be understanding that this is your first time in something as simple as house slippers and trying to keep them on your feet walking up stairs is challenging. The room is empty but it’s fun to experience them setting out dinner then setting out the bedding. Our experience could have been made better would our host have slowed down just a touch. While we were thankful she attempted to speak English with us, she seemed very uncomfortable and did everything extremely fast which only made us, people new to absolutely everything and trying to be respectful, very uncomfortable. An item to note, the superior room’s private onsen was not in the room. You need to leave the room and although very close, you still cannot access directly from your room. All in all a fun 1 night stay to say we did it.

A 1 and done

Great option in Hakone

I was a bit worried after seeing some bad reviews about this place, but my partner and I had a lovely time here. It is an old building, but that's part of the aesthetic and ambience. 

We were looking for a traditional Japanese ryokan experience, an onsen bath inside the room, and the experience of having the food served inside the room, all of which we got here. The suite was very spacious which was a nice change after staying in a much smaller place in Tokyo. The yukatas were super comfy and fun to experience. The bath inside the room was the highlight, as well as the aromatherapy massages that we got which were done inside the room as well. We were able to get the massages side by side at the same time, and they brought a little speaker to play ambient music, which all made for a magical experience in the traditional tatami room with the sound of the onsen running in the background. The futons were really comfortable. The next day we left feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. 

All the staff we encountered were very kind and accommodating, and they do have some English speaking staff. We were able to leave our luggage there while we explored when we arrived early and the next morning after we checked out before we had to catch our train. 

The cons: 

The onsen bath in our room was SUPER hot. This isn't really a con except for that the weather was exceptionally warm this October and we could only soak for a few minutes at a time before needing to cool off. I would recommend coming when the weather is cooler. 

Despite specifying that I was pescatatian, they still served me beef. I also asked about vegetarian options for the meals and they didn't have any. My partner enjoyed the meals but I struggled with some of the dishes. It was beautifully presented but I wouldn't recommend it if you're not used to traditional Japanese food or a picky eater/not adventurous with meals/have dietary restrictions.

There were several little things that could use attention. None of these were a big deal but if they were able to get them spruced up I think it would go a long way to making the place feel less worn out. Examples include the privacy screen for our bath which had rips in it, little nooks and crannys that were dusty and could use a deep clean, the fact that the main dining table was quite worn, etc. 

This being said, we had a wonderful time experiencing this ryokan and big kudos to the staff for great service and being so welcoming. The place really does have a special nostolgic charm to it. 

Wonderful hospitality and a memorable experience

Very good location, close to the bus stop. 1 bus away from Odawara train station. Walkable to local train station also. Service was excellent and the food was  amazing. There are no elevators, only stairs, and this can be challenging for people with physical conditions.  It is a traditional Japanese style hotel (ryokan), so you eat sitting on the floor, and they put out and packed away the mattresses each day; and not much furniture (chairs) to sit on. Onsen water (the outside one) can be a bit cleaner.

Great traditional ryokan

It was a memorable stay for our family. The property is charming and conveniently located near bus tops and train station. The best part of our stay was the staff. Everyone was very welcoming and courteous. We love our grandmother attendant. She was taking good care of us during our stay. She offered to take our family photos after the first dinner was setup in our room and she has a lovely personality. We were constrained by the language barriers but we use gestures to communicate which worked out well. The meals were incredible and they were a work of art. We were spoiled and we will remember the wonderful experience we had at Yaeikan for years to come. I can’t wait to return again.

This was my first experience at a ryokan.  I am so glad that my sister booked a traditional ryokan with a private Kaiseki dinner and breakfast.   We also had our own onsen in the room. It was so very relaxing and beautiful.  The whole experience put me back into the days of old Japan.  I would love to stay here again!  The staff does not speak much English but they do use a translator tool that makes it easy to converse and understand.  The food was amazing!  The sleep was amazing.  The room was spacious and accommodated 4 adults. The onsen was so relaxing.  The lobby and ryokan is gorgeous and well upkept!  We did stay in a newly renovated room-Zuisan. They are very accommodating to your every need.  I truly felt like I was in Old Japan. I want to go back again soon.  (note: I will update with photos later as there are so many)

BEST experience!  Highly recommended!!!

We stayed at this ryokan for 2 days, and we really like it, especial the onsen and the lady was introduce us to the room, and service us the dinner and breakfast, I forgot to ask her name, we like her so much, we hope she have a good health and happy in her life and her job, we will come back to visit her later. The ryokan is old but quite nice, and clean. It is close to the train station, and close to the shopping street. We was enjoy there for the last 2 days in Japan. The food is good, first time in my life have a lot of sashimi like that time, I will keep it in my memory. I hope I can come back to there soon.

The kaiseki dinner and breakfast were the stars of the show.  The authentic traditional Japanese inn (ryokan) was very evident in the room and the building's ageless architecture. Although it shows its age, it does so in authenticity, you cannot manufacture the feel and timelessness of Japanese culture.  The essence of it is mainly the service, efficient,  respectful and loving.  Our hostess took care to make us comfortable , well fed,  and well informed.  With her broken english, she conveyed warmth and excitement as she must have with the many many guests that have come through this classic ryokan.Highly recommended if you're looking for a real ryokan experience in Hakone.

Overall we enjoyed our stay at this hotel. Dinner was served at 6pm which we initially thought was a bit early but there were so many courses it took us ages to eat! Can’t fault the amount of food and despite us both being big eaters, we couldn’t finish it all. The beds were also surprisingly comfortable and breakfast was also big. Some points for improvement given the price: (i) 3pm check in and 10am check out is one of the tightest times we’ve had across our stay (ii) not much choice for dinner time nor 30 minute private onsen (iii) the table in our room was quite damaged and could do with a repaint on the edges. Only something minor but given there was only the table and two chairs in the room to begin with, it really stood out (iv) room was smaller than expected.
