      “Top-notch Service & Amenities ”

      This beautiful ryokan does not disappoint when it comes to amenities. The dinner was superb, multi-course meal that will leave you very full. Service from check in was attentive. We did not get to choose the earlier dinner time as it was booked out by the time we checked in, which led to eating very late and finally finishing dinner at 10pm, so be aware that could be a possibility if you do not enjoy eating late. Breakfast was a traditional Japanese breakfast with fish, rice, eggs, and pickled vegetables. There are 3 private onsen that are first-come first-serve; we had no problem staying in 2 of them during our one night there. The public onsen is even more beautiful than the private ones so don't miss out! Staff do speak English but they loved being surprised by my use of Japanese. Lovely folks all around, even had a shuttle that dropped us off after check out at the train station nearby which saved us a long walk. The room itself was meticulously clean and the bedding was lovely. The bed though is FIRM, I am talking a clearly new, expensive mattress that was harder than a brick despite having a "plush topper" built in. I would come back in a heartbeat except my back hates me already for putting it through the one night on that mattress. Make sure you are totally okay with a very, very firm mattress before booking, or plan to use the onsen to soothe the inevitable back pain you'll be in!

      “Relaxing atmosphere, great food”

      I booked a single night at this onsen for four people, and it was wonderful (aside from the super windy, topsy-turvy bus ride we took to get there -- beware if you get car sick). The staff all speak a little bit of English, but there was one woman who was basically fluent who explained all the facilities and perks/free things you get with your reservation. She directed us to where we could pick up our onsen attire that they provide for walking to the onsen. Your room has a nice outer kimono you can wear if it's cold (and it was cold -- we went in January) as well as slippers and a basket with all the essentials to take with you to the onsen. My booking included dinner, which was a fantastic eight course meal, and you can choose between two different options (ours were hot pot or bbq). The food just kept on coming, but it was all so good we couldn't stop! The service is great and everyone is so nice. There are two buildings at this ryokan -- the west and east side. We stayed in the east building, which I think is a little more outdated. The room was nice and spacious with two beds and a tatami area with a table and chairs you can move around to make room for the futons (we had four people). There are two public bathhouses, one in each building, but the one in the east building is under construction, so they gave us a discount voucher as an apology. There are three beautiful private outdoor onsen that you can reserve by taking a wooden placard placed outside the private onsen area -- if the placards are all taken, you have to wait. Or you can go to the public bathhouse. The public bathhouse is nice and clean, has lockers and a changing area separate from the shower area (fully equipped with soap, shampoo, and conditioner), which then leads to the indoor onsen and outdoor rock onsen. They also give free milk, popsicles, and water. It was, overall, a great first experience. There were a few communication errors, but that's to be expected when you go to a different

      “Paradise in Hakone worth the cost”

      This onsen ryokan in Hakone was honestly one of the highlights of our two week Japan trip. It was the most expensive accommodation we stayed at during out trip but we definitely got what we paid for. Staff are very welcoming and friendly and had no issues checking in as the woman (didn't get her name) who checked us in spoke very good English. They also provide a free shuttle to and from Kowakudani station which we used otherwise it's a 15 minute walk up a rather steep hill. We stayed in the newer building in a fairly large room (biggest room we had our entire trip) with the Open Air bath on our balcony which we definitely took advantage of before bed and just before checking out. They also provide these comfy pajamas that you can wear around the ryokan along with a free amenity bag to carry to the onsen baths. We didn't use the public onsen baths but we did get a chance to soak in a private onsen (be prepared for a wait) but it was worth it and there are 3 of them to choose from. No reservations for these - if the wood plaque is hanging in the hallway then that bath is free to use. There is also free milk, ice pops and some yummy chinese style dumplings at around 6-7pm which were a great snack after a soak. There is also a gift shop and 24 hour free tea, coffee, water and juice. We chose the Kaiseki style Japanese BBQ dinner and man was it ever delicious! There was even Nomihodai (all you can drink) for the first 60 minutes of your meal which you order on a tablet they provide to all the tables. We were completely stuffed after dinner that we didn't have room for the free late night ramen they provided at around 10pm daily. Breakfast is very much traditional Japanese style so to all of my fellow westerners be prepared to step out of your comfort zone (you are in Japan after all). The only downside to this stay was the fact we only stayed for one night. If you can shell out the cash it is easily worth a two night stay. If we ever come back to Hakone we will come here again for sure.

      “It's a nice inn.”

      The staff provided a good balance of attentive yet unobtrusive service. The onsen has four large public baths and three private outdoor baths. While I couldn't try all of them, there were plenty of options that I think will delight bath enthusiasts. It may also depend on the type of room you stay in, but my room, which had its own outdoor bath, was clean and nice. The dinner course was delicious, and the breakfast was also luxurious. The photo is of the breakfast. Check-out time at 11 AM was wonderful, allowing for a leisurely morning! Since I visited when it was raining, I would rate the location four stars, but I think the view of the mountains would be great if the weather were nice. Even in the rain, the mist created a magical atmosphere! I would definitely like to visit this ryokan again. Thank you to all the staff for providing such a wonderful experience.

      “Lovely Ryokan”

      We had a lovely sat at The Hakone Kowakudani Onsen Ryokan Mizunoto . The room was comfortable and the staff were very friendly. There is a shuttle bus to take you to and from the train station (it is a long walk up a steep hill so I recommend you take the shuttle.) I highly recommend the dinner if you are looking for the Kaiseki dinner experience. Each dish was beautifully presented. Breakfast was also very traditional with lots of fish and rice. We had a room with a private onsen but since it only held one person, we used the private onsens available to all guests (there are 3 of them - one for a single person, the other 2 held at least 3 people.) We had no trouble getting time in the hotel's private onsens, though we were not there during the very busy season. These private onsens were lovely. We did not use the hotel's public onsen. The hotel had many little touches from the way the common areas were decorated to free ramen late in the evening that made the experience feel even more luxurious.
