What guests think
At Shirayunoyado Yamadaya Hakone Gora, guests highlight caring, often multilingual staff and well-presented kaiseki meals, while also noting dated facilities, occasional mold or dust, and variable housekeeping that can detract from the traditional ryokan experience.
The location near the Sounzan Ropeway and cable cars is convenient, with pick up to Gora available, though it can feel remote from other dining options. Rooms are tatami style with futons; several mention generous space or mountain views, while others note hard bedding, steep stairs, and showers limited to the onsen. Onsens, especially the outdoor tubs, are widely enjoyed for relaxing soaks, but some indoor areas feel worn or cramped. Overall, expect an authentic stay centered on attentive service, set meals, and hot-spring time.

Yamadaya is a mid range ryokan/inn walkable from Sounzan station (first ropeway station). Not a whole lot in terms of food and such but it’s good place for a rest and for quick access to the rope way to owakudani and the lake. There are 2 main hot bath area which converts from public to private baths at 7pm/7am. Facility wise some parts a bit more dated but the staff and service is really good. Food and value is great.

Kaiseki and Onsen were top notch. We stayed for 2 nights and were always looking forward to the next meal. The lady who was in charge of our food prep gave the best service. Just wow! We found the location kind of hard-er to get to (either by cablecar or ropeway only) so one time, we had to make sure that we were back before the last ride. Room size for 4 was great and futon was very comfortable.

料理は美味しいし、源泉掛け流しの白濁した温泉は最高でした。但し、昔ながらの木造の建物なので、4階の部屋まで徒歩で階段を上りましたが、かなり急なので年配の方は上の方の階の部屋に行くのは大変かも知れません。

事前にクチコミを確認して行きましたが、概ねその通りで設備に古さや汚さはあるものの、料理は珍しい物は無いですが美味しく、お風呂も湯の花がまうほど、お肌ツルツルになるような良い湯でした。 体感では3階のお風呂は少し温めで4階は丁度良かったです。 駐車場は狭かったりもしますが、従業員は皆さん一生懸命で感じは良いです。 飲み物を持ち込みましたが、備え付けの冷蔵庫には有料の飲み物で一杯でスペースがないのが残念でした。 値段も手頃で立地も良いので分かって決めるなら良いと思います。

The ryankan is about 3 minutes walking from Souenzan cable car station and it is convenient get to. They do free pick up from the cable car station as well if needed. Our family stayed in three rooms on the fourth floor. The ryankan is generally very clean. It being old, you do see a bit of spider webs here and there. But there is no concern for being clean. We sleep on tatamis and it is generally conformable. There are two public bath, one on third floor and one on the fourth floor. Both with an indoor hot spring and two outdoor bathtub. The two hot springs switches between men’s and women’s at 7 am and 7 pm. You can soak in onsen whenever you want to through the night. Dinner is at 6 pm. The food was good and tasty. While you enjoy the dinner, the room is converted to a bedroom. Breakfast is at 8 am and is equally 10 course and tasty. The room is converted to day time use when you have breakfast. The onsen is not very busy and occasionally have 2-3 other people. It is a good place to stay.

Highly recommend for the authentic Ryokan experience. It has an authenticity to it that the fancier places don't. Staff and service were amazing. Onsen were great with some fantastic views. Definitely a must if staying overnight in Hakone area.

The staff was kind and pleasant. Both dinner and breakfast were delicious. We were grateful they offered transportation service to Gora station since it started raining. Unfortunately the place is in a desperate need of repairs. The ceiling was leaking in multiple places with buckets placed to catch the water. I slipped on a puddle with the uncomfortable slippers that were asked to be worn. My kids couldn’t even walk in theirs and couldn’t grip them to climb the stairs.

We had a really nice stay. This is our first ryokan experience. We arrived around noon and they were able to store our luggage so we can go tour the area with our Hakone Free pass. When we return to check in our luggage was already in our room. The heat was cranked up so our room was nice and toasty and there's hot green tea ready for us with a little piece of packaged cake, a nice touch after being out on a cold and rainy day. Our room is good size for the 2 of us and it is clean, no strange smell. It's a bit dated but that's the charm. Our room is on the 3rd floor, it has a nice view of the mountains. The outdoor onsen tubs on both the 3rd and 4th floor are really nice. It's great to be sitting in the outdoor tubs and inhale the mountain fresh air. The indoor onsen rooms on both floor were old and needs maintenance and renovation but I was using the outside onsen so that didn't bother me. Both meals were perfect, it was beautifully set up and has good flavor and variety. The futon was a bit hard for me, I didn't sleep very well because of it, other than that, it was a very nice stay and I would come back again.

El lugar más sucio en el que me he alojado. Descuidado y lleno de polvo y moho por todas partes. El onsen no estaba limpio, el agua tenía polvo y la piedra estaba muy sucia. La habitación olía a tabaco y el futón tan fino que ha sido como dormir en el suelo. El precio que pagamos la noche me parece excesivo

This property was very old, which I don't mind, but walls, floors, and doors had old stains and mold. The windows were not clean. The hotel also smelled like mildew. The onsen area had stained & damp carpets in the changing room and mold all over the ceiling. The amenities like hair tonic & skin care was from the 80's. The bath was ok with 3 areas to soak (indoor & outdoor). Location was close to Sounzan station, but a short walk up the hill. What made my stay tolerable was the toilets looks newer and the tatami in the room was clean and futon sheets were crisp white and looked clean. Most of the staff was not Japanese, but they were very nice and friendly and hard working. The food was plentiful for dinner and breakfast and it was better than expected. Overall, I realized I should spend a little more so my family could really feel comfortable and enjoy the onsen experience. This place was just under $400 for a family of 4 during the weekday and I realized, I need to spend $800-$1000 (USD)at hakone so that this stay can feel like a vacation.

Overall this was a good stay This was our first time in a Ryokan so we were not sure what to expect. The staff was very nice and welcoming, and catered to our every need. The room was in traditional style where you sleep on futons, and have breakfast and dinner served to your room by the nice lady that is with you through your whole stay. Bathroom has a japanese toilet, and there is no shower in the room, instead you shower in the Onsen. What we did is use the Onsen, then have the evening shower, and eat dinner. The food served is traditional, and for some can be challenging, but in my opinion most of what we had was tasty. You can also talk to the hotel if you have certain requirements or prefer something different and a bit more western. The futons were OK, and there were extra pillows in the closet. The onsen is nice and relaxing. The location is also very good because it's right next to the Hakone Ropeway station. The hotel is quite old and not renovated, but in my opinion, it adds to the "magic" of experiencing a traditional stay. However, it can be cleaner. Overall a good stay, and we thank the hotel staff and the nice lady who was with us.

The location was great with it being a short walk from the cable car station and the staff were friendly plus helpful. The building was definitely on the older side which we expected, however the rooms and facilities seemed to be lacking in cleanliness. The room we stayed in had cobwebs on the dm ceiling and dust/dirt could be seen along the baseboard areas of the room. The onsen / bath area was ok but the actual soaking area really could use some detail cleaning as the window edges were quite dirty. The meals were good overall but I would’ve appreciated it if they gave us the same meals for our children too as we had paid quite a bit more to include my 2 kids. For dinner they were not given the sashimi and one other dish which were some of the main dishes in dinner. Not was there a substitute.

Traditional tatami rooms with futon bedding; many note spacious layouts and some enjoy mountain views. Comfort varies, with several finding futons hard and noise transferring in the older building; showers are mainly in the onsen rather than in-room.

This Ryokan is up in the hills, far from anything except the Hakone cable car and ropeway. It is very authentic I am sure but very dated. The food was off in my opinion but I am not a fan of raw, fishy things that I don't know what they are. They try and explain but still a mystery on some of the items. You eat in your room on the floor which for a westerner was not comfortable however I realize it is their custom.

Kaiseki and Onsen were top notch. We stayed for 2 nights and were always looking forward to the next meal. The lady who was in charge of our food prep gave the best service. Just wow! We found the location kind of hard-er to get to (either by cablecar or ropeway only) so one time, we had to make sure that we were back before the last ride. Room size for 4 was great and futon was very comfortable.

Hotel is very close to the ropeway and offers a shuttle bus to the main station which you really do need. Bedding arrangement is hard as a rock so be aware of that. The hotel itself is very dated and no especially clean. However I found that part of the old school charm. The included meals were absolutely outstanding traditional kaiseki style. Worth the price for that alone.

We stayed in this hotel for one night to have an authentic Japanese experience with a private onsen. The rooms very large and it was a bit too big for two people. I think it would be better for a larger group, and the price would also be justified. Other than that, we had a great stay.

We had a really nice stay. This is our first ryokan experience. We arrived around noon and they were able to store our luggage so we can go tour the area with our Hakone Free pass. When we return to check in our luggage was already in our room. The heat was cranked up so our room was nice and toasty and there's hot green tea ready for us with a little piece of packaged cake, a nice touch after being out on a cold and rainy day. Our room is good size for the 2 of us and it is clean, no strange smell. It's a bit dated but that's the charm. Our room is on the 3rd floor, it has a nice view of the mountains. The outdoor onsen tubs on both the 3rd and 4th floor are really nice. It's great to be sitting in the outdoor tubs and inhale the mountain fresh air. The indoor onsen rooms on both floor were old and needs maintenance and renovation but I was using the outside onsen so that didn't bother me. Both meals were perfect, it was beautifully set up and has good flavor and variety. The futon was a bit hard for me, I didn't sleep very well because of it, other than that, it was a very nice stay and I would come back again.

Sehr schönes großes Zimmer, Frühstück und Abendessen wurde im Zimmer serviert und war super Lecker 😋 , das Onsen war sehr schön, auch mit Bademöglichkeit draußen in kleinem schön angelegten Garten, 3 Minuten zu Fuß von der Ropeway Station entfernt. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt dort sehr genossen. Vielen Dank.

We had the loveliest night here, and the service was fantastic. We found the main lady who looked after us to be wonderful, fun, friendly and very caring. The inn may be a bit older but it was cosy and comfortable. It could use perhaps a little renovation, but won't stop us from staying again when we return!

Overall this was a good stay This was our first time in a Ryokan so we were not sure what to expect. The staff was very nice and welcoming, and catered to our every need. The room was in traditional style where you sleep on futons, and have breakfast and dinner served to your room by the nice lady that is with you through your whole stay. Bathroom has a japanese toilet, and there is no shower in the room, instead you shower in the Onsen. What we did is use the Onsen, then have the evening shower, and eat dinner. The food served is traditional, and for some can be challenging, but in my opinion most of what we had was tasty. You can also talk to the hotel if you have certain requirements or prefer something different and a bit more western. The futons were OK, and there were extra pillows in the closet. The onsen is nice and relaxing. The location is also very good because it's right next to the Hakone Ropeway station. The hotel is quite old and not renovated, but in my opinion, it adds to the "magic" of experiencing a traditional stay. However, it can be cleaner. Overall a good stay, and we thank the hotel staff and the nice lady who was with us.

The staff was kind and pleasant. Both dinner and breakfast were delicious. We were grateful they offered transportation service to Gora station since it started raining. Unfortunately the place is in a desperate need of repairs. The ceiling was leaking in multiple places with buckets placed to catch the water. I slipped on a puddle with the uncomfortable slippers that were asked to be worn. My kids couldn’t even walk in theirs and couldn’t grip them to climb the stairs.

Convenient for the Sounzan Ropeway and cable cars, and shuttles ease transfers to Gora. It can feel remote with limited nearby dining, and last rides may constrain schedules.

Yamadaya is a mid range ryokan/inn walkable from Sounzan station (first ropeway station). Not a whole lot in terms of food and such but it’s good place for a rest and for quick access to the rope way to owakudani and the lake. There are 2 main hot bath area which converts from public to private baths at 7pm/7am. Facility wise some parts a bit more dated but the staff and service is really good. Food and value is great.

This Ryokan is up in the hills, far from anything except the Hakone cable car and ropeway. It is very authentic I am sure but very dated. The food was off in my opinion but I am not a fan of raw, fishy things that I don't know what they are. They try and explain but still a mystery on some of the items. You eat in your room on the floor which for a westerner was not comfortable however I realize it is their custom.

There was an authentic old school vibe that created a wonderful experience for us. Staff was amazing and the convenient location to bus stop and, cable cars and gondola to visit the small towns along that route and Lake Aisha was perfect. It's how we saw Mt Fuji, a highlight of our two week trip to Japan

We really enjoyed our stay at this Ryokan. It was in a perfect location at the end of the cable car and ropeway for easy access. The service was great and if you're after a traditional Ryokan experience this offers that at a very reasonable price. The food both evening and morning was very traditional, whilst not necessarily to our tastes entirely it was beautifully presented and again a great experience. We stayed for 2 nights and found that to be enough. There was no hot water in the rooms for showers etc, so the only option was the communal naked Onsen for washing and bathing. It was a real experience and we would recommend giving it a go. The property itself is a little shabby in parts but for that price we were not complaining. We would highly recommend if you want the traditional Ryokan experience.

Hotel is very close to the ropeway and offers a shuttle bus to the main station which you really do need. Bedding arrangement is hard as a rock so be aware of that. The hotel itself is very dated and no especially clean. However I found that part of the old school charm. The included meals were absolutely outstanding traditional kaiseki style. Worth the price for that alone.

The ryankan is about 3 minutes walking from Souenzan cable car station and it is convenient get to. They do free pick up from the cable car station as well if needed. Our family stayed in three rooms on the fourth floor. The ryankan is generally very clean. It being old, you do see a bit of spider webs here and there. But there is no concern for being clean. We sleep on tatamis and it is generally conformable. There are two public bath, one on third floor and one on the fourth floor. Both with an indoor hot spring and two outdoor bathtub. The two hot springs switches between men’s and women’s at 7 am and 7 pm. You can soak in onsen whenever you want to through the night. Dinner is at 6 pm. The food was good and tasty. While you enjoy the dinner, the room is converted to a bedroom. Breakfast is at 8 am and is equally 10 course and tasty. The room is converted to day time use when you have breakfast. The onsen is not very busy and occasionally have 2-3 other people. It is a good place to stay.

The location is pretty close to the starting point of Ropeway so easy to access on your own. The property does provide pick up service which is also nice. The outdoor Onsen ( hot bath) was really nice. Went early in morning and got it to myself kind of private usage experience. The best part was the dinner and breakfast offered as part of half board pricing when you book it. This to me was the best part of this property. The location is right on road so you cannot really have a area with open garden to walk etc. and having that would be really nice to relax in morning or evening watching the mountains.

The location was great with it being a short walk from the cable car station and the staff were friendly plus helpful. The building was definitely on the older side which we expected, however the rooms and facilities seemed to be lacking in cleanliness. The room we stayed in had cobwebs on the dm ceiling and dust/dirt could be seen along the baseboard areas of the room. The onsen / bath area was ok but the actual soaking area really could use some detail cleaning as the window edges were quite dirty. The meals were good overall but I would’ve appreciated it if they gave us the same meals for our children too as we had paid quite a bit more to include my 2 kids. For dinner they were not given the sashimi and one other dish which were some of the main dishes in dinner. Not was there a substitute.

The pros: location is incredible, next to the ropeway. The staff were incredibly nice and went above and beyond with service. The hot spring was fantastic and really well maintained. Very good ryokan style experience. The cons: the rooms were not really well kept. Lots of cob webs around and the sink didn’t have hot water working. Other thing that may have been an isolated incident, but both me and my friend ate their traditional dinner service and following breakfast. That’s the only thing we ate for the day. We both got horribly sick for two days with seemingly food poisoning after eating these meals. Didn’t have this issue our entire time in Japan aside from this one location. If it weren’t for that one aspect, I would have rated it a 3.5/5.

I had a room with private hot spring because I didn’t know if I’d have the courage to use the public one, but I ended up using both. The private onsen is much colder and deeper than the public one (I was there in a cold night in April - 1oC). They serve traditional Japanese breakfast.
