    It was an original ryokan work onsen that provided dinner and breakfast, we wanted to try something really Japanese. I loved the onsen both private and public. The room is spacious with tatami.

    Traditional Japanese Ryokan that gave a very authentic experience. The staff were so lovely and incredibly helpful with everything that we needed. Beautiful location in Hakone, just a short bus trip from tourist areas and delicious food.
