Guests can enjoy the mountain views from the outdoor bath. The property offers seasonal meals with local ingredients and fresh seafood. This Ryokan is non-smoking throughout.

Staff was very friendly and helpful. Meals were authentic Japanese, but they also gave my ten year old son a bit of western food to fill him up. The room and onsen were very clean and comfortable.

Hakone Pax Yoshino is located a 12-minute walk from Hakone Yumoto Train Station and offers indoor/outdoor hot-spring baths and traditional multi-course Kaiseki meals. The Japanese rooms have a private hot-spring bath and free WiFi is available at the lobby.

The facilities and room amenities at this hotel are exactly as pictured and described. The rooms are designed in a traditional Japanese style and offer a true Japanese ryokan experience. The rooms are spacious, clean, and comfortable, and the tatami mats are very comfortable to lie on. The private onsen feels great, enjoying the view of the river and woods out the window, accompanied by the sound of birds chirping and an overwhelming feeling of relaxation. The public onsen on the fifth floor is also excellent, with complimentary use of massage chairs to provide total soothing for the experience. Breakfast was buffet style with Japanese and Western options, and while the flavors weren't as outstanding as expected, it was still good overall.

    This was the best accommodation during our Japan-Trip. Everything is so beautifully designed, the hosts must be very keen on design. It‘s closed to the city center so you can easily stroll around the town. It was very clean. The Appartement has a welcoming, warmhearted atmosphere and is stylish at the same time. I wish the host my very best for the future! If we will return for a Japan-Trip Hakone and HAKO REIRO are on our bucket list. Thank you especially for the games, we appreciated them very much.

    Lovely boutique hotel with Ryokan style rooms and lots of nice extra touches like traditional shoes, yukatas, pyjamas and a small gift for my birthday. Easy to access location, a short walk from the station in a lovely area of Hakone. The staff were very helpful. This hotel felt really special and we would love to come back again.

    Stunning hotel, perfect combination of old style Japan with all the mod cons. We stayed in the Forest Wing and had beautifully designed bedrooms that felt like a small apartment. Onsen was spectacular, views across the mountains. Perfect place to stay and re charge after travelling round Japan.

    The room is spacious and clean, and beds quite comfortable. Interior design of the property is rather tastefully done. Property is a 1-min walk away to Gora train and cable car station, and within a 12-min walking distance to the open air museum and a Lawson convenience mart. Staff members are friendly and helpful.

    loved this beautiful hotel, the staff were attentive without being imposing and the mid century design was gorgeous. the strict meal times are good to be aware of beforehand - breakfast at 7.30 or 8, no other time and dinner at 5.30, which took some getting used to.

    It was one of the best boutique hotels we have stayed in anywhere in the world. This is because of the quality of the design and the materials. The attention to detail was first class in every respect. The Japanesd breakfast was also fabulous.
