Another wonderful and relaxing stay
This is my third stay at Ajisai Onsen Ryokan, and my first with my family. I really enjoy coming here for the spacious and comfy room, relaxing private onsen, tasty traditional dinner and breakfast, and kind staff. Whenever I visit Japan, I try to make a stop here to wind down. Looking forward to booking here again.

SO PEACEFUL. My family and I especially liked the hot springs. The hot springs were very relaxing, you need to book a time slot for it and then choose a yakata to wear there (it's all free!). You are free to choose from three options: Outside hotspring, indoor hotspring (includes sauna), or both. Everywhere was so clean and the food tasted perfect! 10/10. I would recommend it.

Wonderful hospitality!
Unparalleled hospitality at this small onsen ryokan. The staff was beyond helpful in preparing for our trip, with thorough explanation regarding arrival and excellent communication. They were super flexible about holding bags before check in and after check out while we explored. The inn is a little tucked away from main restaurants and shops but taxi was easy and cheap and we could walk to the really delightful gora garden and craft house. They prepared a delicious multi course dinner accommodating a food allergy to gluten, a vegetarian, and teen dietary preferences and an interesting and generous traditional breakfast for our family. The dinner was the best meal we had in two weeks in Japan! The onsen facilities were so clean and it was a delightful experience. It was easy to sign up for private time for our group in both the evening and morning in both the indoor and outdoor onsen. Beds were really comfortable (best in our two weeks!) with nice in room amenities including flower tea. This was such a wonderful experience. We would feel fortunate to return!

This was one of the best stays I've had recently. The staff were very helpful and went out of their way to make our experience great. We ordered room service and it arrived with a smile and a special treat. The traditional rooms were very clean and were lovely. The hot springs Onsen were great. We had 2 reserved times for our room and enjoyed a private indoor/outdoor experience.

Poor condition in every aspect
Food was sub-par, then served the same breakfast the 3 days we were there. Dinner was similar situation. Room was very dirty and tiny for 5 of us. Only saving grace was the onsen. Even so, not worth the $1000/night price tag.

Loved our time here. After a night in busy Tokyo, felt rejuvenated by the hot bath, friendly staff, and relaxing atmosphere. First time to Japan for my wife and 3 young kids, the Hakone area and Ryoken plus Onsen experience was a great adventure.

Overpriced ryokan. Food is so so. Hot bath inside and outside are nice but when we were there, there was a group of young men in the next room they were loud.

This Ryokan is hard to find and dedicated parking was very unclear. You are then faced with very uneven stone steps which made getting suitcases into the property tricky and a bit hazardous. The Ryokan is quite dated and not that well maintained. Word of warning - there is no shower in your room. Showers have to be booked along with access to the Onsen. On a positive note, the outdoor Onsen is very nice and had nice temperature. The indoor ones however are not so good.

This property was beautiful and the onsens were amazing. We loved that the baths were private so that our children could use them as well. We had dinner at the property and it was delicious and quite a treat. Anyone planning to stay should know that this property is not very walkable. It is not only further away than other properties, it is on a hillside. We utilized taxis a great deal. This property was also not clean. There was mold growing on the walls and bugs (mosquitos?) smashed into the walls.

One night stay
We stayed one night and enjoyed the onsen facilities very much. The room is traditional so this is a Japanese tatami mat room with futon cushions, not a western style bed. This might take some getting used to for western travelers. You reserve your onsen time upon arrival and you can go back for more time in the evening and morning. We didn’t know you could reserve a dinner service but only in advance so we just had the room service dishes available which were very good. This is a very quiet and traditional experience.
