Onsen (hot spring) was a bit too hot

Quietness, surrounded by trees, close to Mt Fuji viewing

Very comfortable futon and cosy japanese style room with yukata. Private onsen is nice if you value privacy.

The futon beds were not that comfortable for me but my husband loved them.

Very pretty place and rooms, great variety in breakfast and the very best staff, very accomodating. Onsen was very nice to use and unwind.

Would need to confirm you would have dinner that night between 5-6 pm (dinner at 7 pm), need to be back early for this one thing.

Transportation: 1. Takes you about 1 hour from Odawara station, with the bus （T 桃園台線） to the stop 仙石原文化センター. Check the bus timetable on https://www.hakonenavi.jp/transportation/station/ Extra info: Would be convenient for travellers if purchase Hakone Freepass (3 days) or Fuji Hakone Pass (3 days) in advance from Odakyu website. We used Fuji Hakone Pass (since we were going to Fuji the next day) and did not need to pay any extra fee when taking the buses and other transportation needed. Room 101: downstairs, next to the two private Onsens. Large, and very clean. Private onsens: free to book during check-in, can book one more on the next morning. Love the outdoor onsen, people with tattoos would not get rejected!! Dinner and Breakfast: exceptional!! Better enjoy the dinner after the onsen.

Wonderful experience! If you are looking for a traditional, clean, and a stay with a delicious meal, this is the place to stay. My husband and I did a one night stay at this beautiful Ryokan and enjoyed a half board stay which included dinner and breakfast. I cannot tell you enough how GREAT the meal was. It is a colorful array of plates with the most exquisite food selections all brought to your beautiful adorned table. Additionally, very convenient after a long travel day through the mountains, your body will thank you! The front desk and dining personnel were wonderful hosts. The onsen is fantastic, very clean, private for your use. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

It was a bit expensive

Free parking was provided and breakfast was great. The room and the onsen were clean and comfortable, which made it very easy to relax.

Futon was a little bit uncomfortable

Yummy breakfast

We arrived during a busy time, and the only way to the location was by bus or taxi. With the former, it takes about an hour to get to the location. So plan to stay a couple days, if you want to see the sights in Hakone too.

All amenities were provided, so you only need to bring the basics. The room was great with comfortable futons. Dinner and breakfast were amazing kaiseki spreads. The onsen tho... Fantastic. Water temperature was perfect, and my skin never felt softer.

Bath was a bit small and time schedule is very tight, at times a bit too tight but nothing that negatively impacted our stay.

The structure is well organised and well maintained. The room was spacious, bathroom a bit tight tho. The amenities were amazing, showing a lot of care from the owners that we really appreciate. The Onsen itself while it might not be visually stunning is relaxing and absolutely lovely to spend time in. Breakfast was amazing! F antastic food, great service and lovely visuals.

Amazing Onsen and super cozy traditional Japanese rooms.

It took us a few try to get the heater work.

Friendly staff helped arranging best time for 2 meals and the 2 private onset session. I think it was not stated clearly on the booking.com and we are surprised that we can have 2 private onsen sessions. For the breakfast and dinner, the food are very delicious, huge portion that we just feel like the dishes just never ended. One of the staff can speak Mandarin and he is very helpful.

A menu for dinner and breakfast so we knew what we were eating.

I liked the location, the onsen was amazing and the food.

Stayed in January 2023

The rate for 2 person and one person should be more clear on Booking.com. I feel like this rate is untruth.

I book on B.com with 2 adults but the confirmation is just 01 adult and I cannot search any date more. The staff cannot help any thing about this.

Nothing

There were many things to like about our stay at Yamanoshou. From the private onsens which you can book at reception to the lovely and helpful staff and to the traditional style rooms. My favourite out of all the features of our stay was undoubtedly the kotatsu in our room which made our winter stay all the more comfortable. The futons were also exceptionally comfortable and we all slept like logs each night. The breakfasts also came with a wide array of things, our only regret was not booking dinner at the same time as they were fully booked out! The rooms were also spacious and our windows opened to an impeccable view of the mountains.

amazing onsen

Pretty awesome onsen experience. Very good price for hotels with private onsen and no need to worry about your privacy. The room is large and comfortable. The traditional breakfast is also a must-try. All the staff are really nice and helpful. The location is also great with restaurants and museums nearby.

Bathroom in the room was extremely tight.

Dinner and breakfast was simply amazing! staff extremely helpful and private onsen was great experience!

a bit challenging to get to by bus but near the Togendai station and Lake Ashi once you get there.

The Kaiseki dinner and breakfast were really good. the private onsen was wonderful and the staff and room were fabulous. couldn’t ask for more from a traditional Japanese Ryokan.

Mattress and pillow were thin and too firm for me.

Dinner was wonderful. Private onsen is really nice.
