Onsen was excellent and food is great. The staff were so welcoming and friendly and spoke English well. The massages offered are also a great find and great for couples. It was super convenient, as they come straight to your room. They offer taxi drop off to Odawara station so just ask.

Our stay here was magical. The staff were attentive and helpful. The area was so beautiful and peaceful surrounded by forest. The public onsen was empty both times we used it so actually quite private and so relaxing!! The hotel were so kind and decorated our room for our honeymoon. The food was sublime, I would definitely recommend getting dinner, and our special fruit plate was such a sweet touch. Wearing the traditional dress and staying in the paper walled rooms felt so authentic and made our honeymoon so special. THANK YOU SO MUCH!! ❤️‍🔥

Wonderful stay in an authentic ryokan with a long history. Property is visibly aged but generally extremely well kept and provides a top-quality yet very traditional ryokan experience. Food was excellent, staff mostly spoke very good English and were extremely friendly and helpful. Property is a little out of the way but has a bus stop right outside for going in both directions. It is also a short walk to catch a different bus to Gora.

MICHELLE CASTRO

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We booked this ryokan for one night of our honeymoon, based on Expedia's images and positive reviews. The room was generous in size, and it was special to have a private onsen. However, the annex building had a noticeable damp or mold smell, and the hallways had damaged finishes and spiderwebs. The kaiseki dinner was served in a windowless hall, rather than a room with views. Overall, the hospitality in terms of cleanliness and staff attentiveness felt below the standard we experienced at other accommodations in Japan. The property's images and reviews suggested a higher level of quality and atmosphere than what we encountered, and it did not meet our expectations given the price paid.
