We had a fantastic stay at Yamagaso. We were able to drop our bags off at the main hotel so we could go sightseeing before check-in. Dinner was a delicious kaiseki meal served in our room. It was great having our own private bath in our villa with hot spring water. Our host Momo-san was sweet and very helpful. If we ever return to Hakone we would love to stay here again.

My experience at Yamagaso was amazing. The service was beyond exceptional, the staff pay attention to every single small and big detail. My family felt they staff really cared for each of us (my teenage boys had so my gratitude for how they showed us around the onsen and explained the traditions). If you are looking to experience a traditional onsen, Yamagaso wil give you that. The property is beautiful, I felt the pictures cannot capture the beauty until you see it for yourself. We were able to use all the baths (actually had them to ourselves most of the time!). The food was amazing. They served traditional set course meals and it was very large portions, you will not be hungry for days afterwards! We are willing to try all foods , so we appreciated eating traditional dishes that are very different. The property is easily accessible from Yumoto station, they staff helped give us directions to take one bus and inform the bus driver where to stop. They had a shuttle service for departing the onsen back to the train station. Overall Yamagaso was an experience of a lifetime and probably the best thing our family experienced in Japan…of all vacations we have ever done. If I could rate this place 100 out of 10 I would! Thank you to the staff for making this so special and making a dream come true!

This place blew us away! We stayed in the Yamagaso annex in the Chouji room. The area was great, a nice walk or bus ride from the station. Then the room, we were very impressed! Traditional style with the tatami mats. We had the half board which included breakfast and dinner. The amount and variety of food was spectacular! The staff were super friendly too, everyone we met was great! We used the private bath, public bath and the outdoor bath at night which were all very nice and relaxing. I'm not sure how this place could be any better for a relaxing few days in Hakone, would definitely come back every time!

What a wonderful experience from the minute we arrived after a hard day of travel. Greeted with a beautiful cottage with private spring bath, a delightful inn keeper who made us feel welcome with tea, treats and origami cranes as well as a genuine traditional experience we will never forget. What a wonderful way to start our stay in japan.

Don't go, find a better deal in surrounding hotels
We went (couple) to this hotel because wanted private spa experience in room as described in room description. No private spa was available, only shared spa area between different rooms . This spa could only be used If no one else was using spa. I don't consider this a private room spa but rather a shared spa (if available). We did not have chance to go. We had to book another private spa in area. The experience was very expensive, disappointing and I felt as a I was deceived (not to say taken) by hotel description and paid way more than other surrounding hotels. The only positive point was that staff was extremely friendly, helpful and our food plan was excellent. however, this could not compensate for not having a private room spa or fireplace. The residence was also very humide and the traditional bed was un sleepable. Wifi and water was only available at lobby (50 meters from room during the rain). All in all, I would not recommend this hotel. Value for money was very low.
