YuYu Hakone was an unforgettable experience that effortlessly blends tranquility and traditional Japanese charm. From the moment my family and I arrived, the warm hospitality of the staff ensured you were welcomed and cared for. The private open-air onsen is the highlight of the stay. Nestled amidst the stunning Hakone landscape and Lake Ashinoko, the baths provide breathtaking views of lush greenery and the serene mountain backdrops, depending on the season. The mineral-rich waters are perfectly heated, which left us rejuvenated and relaxed. The privacy adds an intimate touch, making it ideal for couples, families, or solo travelers seeking peace. The accommodations are equally impressive, with traditional Japanese room aesthetics. Tatami mats, and futons create an authentic yet luxurious ambiance. The dining experience is another standout feature. The traditional Japanese breakfast and options for dinner showcase fresh local ingredients. The hotel is conveniently located near the the Hakone Ropeway - Togendai Station as well as the Hakone Shrine. Guests can take the ropeway to Owakudani to experience the famous view of Mt. Fuji, hot spring boiled black eggs and souvenir shops, or go further into nearby town Gora where there are many shops and museums. It is also located near Hakone-en, where there is snow sledding and an aquarium for family fun. There is also another ropeway heading up the mountain to a shrine and panoramic view. Thank you for the incredible stay!

The kaiseki meals are culinary masterpieces, showcasing the freshest local ingredients prepared with exceptional skill. Each dish is presented like art, and the flavors are unforgettable. What truly sets YuYu Hakone apart is the sense of serenity it provides. Whether you’re soaking in the onsen, enjoying a meal, or simply gazing at the natural beauty, you’re enveloped in a profound sense of calm.

Highly recommend this hotel. We stayed two nights and booked 2 slots for our private hot spring bath. We want to comeback to Japan for this reason alone. Staff was extremely friendly and it was an awesome experience.

This is a traditional ryoken located in a tucked away area. We took a taxi to get there because it was raining but were able to leave by bus. The private onsen was lovely, big and beautifully built. We slept really well in the comfortable tatami room and futon bed.

We had an amazing stay here! The staff was so helpful and accommodating for any of our needs or questions. They do have a limited food menu at the hotel but it was absolutely delicious! We ate on site both nights. The private onsen was fabulous and we were able to use twice daily. The floor mats were incredibly comfortable and we slept better here than most of the big hotels we stayed at in Tokyo. It took a little planning getting here via public transit but very much doable to get from here to Hakone and onward not having a private vehicle. This was our favorite stay in Japan.

For anyone that is looking for a traditional Ryokan, this place is amazing and exactly what you are looking for. Great facilities, private Onsen for your party, bath (or shower) is traditional as well (just a heads up). Have nothing bad to say about YuYu Hakone, but a heads up for any future travelers, this is a very quiet area and all things close fairly early in the afternoon and as you are at minimum 30 minutes away from near by cities (Odawara or Gotemba) with little to no ways of transportation, it is pretty dead for any adventuring past the afternoon. But for the overall stay, great place, clean, and staff are very friendly and accomodating!

I had an exceptional experience at this hotel during my recent stay. The check-in and check-out processes were smooth and hassle-free, and my room was impeccably clean and comfortable. However, what truly set this hotel apart was the outstanding service provided by the staff. As a solo traveler without a car, I was concerned about finding a place to eat dinner. The hotel manager kindly offered to personally drive me to a nearby restaurant, and even made a stop at a convenience store along the way so that I could pick up some necessities. This level of personalized attention and care went above and beyond my expectations, and made my stay truly memorable. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area. The staff's dedication to providing exceptional service and making guests feel at home is truly remarkable, and I can't thank them enough for their kindness and hospitality.

Affordable place to enjoy a traditional room and a private onsen. Best to check if the restaurant is open and if not, bring food with you, if walking from the lake. It’s quite a walk and you won’t want to be walking down for food and back again.

Nice quiet property. Onsen was great. Only issue I had for two days in a row were my neighbors were smoking marijuana constantly and it was getting into my room. I reported it one night and then again on the next day when they kept smoking it.
