Relaxing serene experience

We had an amazing experience at this hotel. Sleeping to the sounds of running water streams, swooshing if the trees, birds chirping was very relaxing and serene! Staff members were very friendly and made sure we felt welcomed!

A Peaceful Escape with Heartfelt Hospitality Our stay at Hakone Kowakien Ten-Yu was magical—where traditional charm met modern comfort. Highlights: • Free teas and ice cream added warmth and joy. • Soothing nightly live music in the lobby. • Spacious, fresh-aired room with a comfy bed and pristine bath. • Open-air private onsen with beautiful mountain views. • Delicious breakfast with both Japanese and Western options. • Convenient shuttle to Gora Station and Hakone Open-air museum for easy exploring. Tip: Leave extra time for transit. Buses can be full, but the train from Gora to Odawara is smooth and reliable. Thanks to the caring staff, even a bumpy checkout turned into a story of kindness. Highly recommended for a serene Hakone getaway.

It was a magical dream to stay here. The stunning views, the beautiful well kept spacious rooms, delicious food (did the buffet option), and welcoming attentive staff. You must get a room with a private Onsen - waking up at sunset to bathe in the Onsen was surreal! I hope to be back again. There is a shuttle that takes you to/from the train station (note they stop running mid day 12-2pm so plan accordingly).

Absolutely amazing experience. The staff were incredibly welcoming and provided above and beyond assistance. The food was the best selection and the taste was even more amazing.

Lovely Ryokan visit

Amazing hospitality. We loved the whole vibe of a ryokan hotel. Strolling around the property in kimono was very relaxing. Having private balcony onsen was also amazing! Our only issue was the quality of meat received at the Japanese grill restaurant. One day is was great. The next day, the same cuts of meat were much tougher.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. I booked the room with a private onsen bathtub, Shabu Shabu Beef and Crab dinner and buffet breakfast for my family of four. The food was delicious! Conveniently, the hotel had a bus shuttle that picked you up from the train station and shuttled you to the hotel. The public onsen baths for women was amazing. My daughter and I enjoyed both bathing areas very much! We didn’t want to leave. Make sure to attend the onsen teaching presentation if it's your 1st time. The information was very helpful. We loved the all you can eat ice cream too. Overall, we had a great experience and would come back again! Thank you!

Really liked: - Close to hiking spots - The Onsens were clean and beautiful - The Welcome crew and even the staff when we were departing gave exceptional service - The PJs and robe were so convenient and beautiful to wear. - In-room massage chair was a plus - The entire staff during our stay was phenomenal and we felt like royalty. - Some of breakfast items in the buffet were overcooked - Switching shoes before and after using the restrooms were an inconvenience - The shuttle service (hours) was very inconvenient since our train arrived right before the driver took a lunch break Overall, it was an amazing hotel!! Thank you for the experience.
