We bought a 3D Hakone Freepass and Limited Express 'Romance Car' to Hakone. Ichinoyu Hokan is 5 bus stops away from the Hakone Yumoto station. This hotel is conveniently situated, the bus stop to alight which call 塔ノ沢 is just across the hotel. We (4pax) stayed in this Japanese style room with private outdoor hot spring bath at Level 1....

We have just arrived here in the pouring rain. Lovely, friendly welcome and the most amazing room. We are on a corner overlooking a mountain stream that is rushing over rcks and making the most wonderful sound.

We (2 adults and 1 child) stayed there for 1 night in May 2013 first week. This was our 3rd japanese style hotel, si we were quite aware of what to expect, but the attitude of the management and staff was very bureaucratic to say the least.

We arrived into Hakone after spending 6 days is bustling Tokyo, and from the second you get off the train in Hakone-Yamoto, you can tell you're into the quiet hills.

This is a traditional Japanese place, which means shared bathrooms, slippers everywhere, squat bathrooms etc. In terms... More

We stayed in the Rokuyan for only one night but would have loved to stay longer. We arrived early having come from Hiroshima and was able to leave our luggage whilst we explored.

We stayed for 2 days 1 night and would wanted very much to extend but they are fully booked! Upon arrival at 10am, we were greeted by a friendly English speaking staff.

Let's start with all the good stuff. This was our first stay in a traditional ryokan and did not disappoint. We stayed in Sakura room, and was a great position overlooking the river with private onset. Food experience was fantastic, staff friendly and slept like a log to the sound of the river. It is just 5 minutes from Tonasawa... More
