Ryokan Kiritani Hakoneso

Unfortunately this was not a satisfactory property, especially by Japanese standards. One should think of it as a budget Ryokan option. On a positive note: the food--all Japanese style--was very good. But the building itself is in sore need of a big renovation and makeover. The carpets are horribly discoloured, presumably clean but they appear dirty. The walls in general need to be repainted. Doors need to be replaced. Many other details need looking after. The smell in the building is not very pleasant. The onsen was small and uninviting. Various mats on the floor didn't give one confidence that all was clean. Staff in general was friendly and accommodating, though some of the male responses to requests were a bit gruff.

We were in the Hydrangea room downstairs, with its pretty screens and a private balcony, and plenty of space. The futon weren't as thick as some other places, but we had spares, so we gave ourselves another layer. We enjoyed our dinner and breakfast, with attentive service. Check-in was great, and we enjoyed the hot lemon drink served on arrival. This ryokan has a choice of onsen, and we opted for the private room, which was lovely and relaxing. It was easy to get here by bus, but only a short walk to the Cable Car, so we were ideally placed for exploring everything we wanted to see in the Hakone area.

無料の貸切温泉や、マッサージチェアーもあり、ゆっくりと体を癒す事ごできました。 源泉掛け流しなので、お肌もすべすべになります。 サービスもわかりやすく丁寧にしていただきました。 ありがとうございました。

Nice and traditional ryokan with onsen facilities in beutiful Gora. Short walking distance from the Gora cable car. Very nice and interesting Japanese dinner and breakfast included. Great experience to eat wearing our yukatas, available in our room.

こじんまりとした旅館と言った趣で、落ち着いている感じ。 食事は個室のためリラックスして過ごすことができた。お風呂も家族風呂もあり、派手さは無いが家族で落ち着いて過ごすには良い旅館だと思う。

Das Hotel ist gut ab Gora Bahnhof mit Standseilbahn und 5 bis 10 Minuten zu Fuss. Das Essen war ausgezeichnet. Das Personal war sehr freundlich. Tolle Auwahl bei den Bädern.

Wir waren das erst Mal in einem Ryokan und wussten nicht, was auf uns zukommen wird. Das Zimmer war sehr geräumig, mit eigener Toilette und Waschbecken. Die Duschen sind im Onsen-Bereich (Gemeinschaftsduschen). Die Betten werden täglich vom Personal hergerichtet. Man schläft auf einem Futon auf dem Boden, was zugegebenermaßen ziemlich hart ist. Eine Erfahrung war es aber wert. Der Onsen-Bereich ist sehr groß, mit Bädern im Innen- und Außenbereich. Das ist definitiv auch eine Erfahrung wert einmal in so einem heißen Thermalwasser zu sitzen und zu entspannen. Das Frühstück und Abendessen werden im Haupthaus serviert. Es sind jeweils Mahlzeiten mit vielen kleinen Gerichten, bei denen man meistens nicht weiß, was man isst. Darauf muss man sich einlassen können, ansonsten würden wir das Essen nicht empfehlen. Der Kellner ist super freundlich gewesen und hat uns auch gezeigt, wie und in welcher Reihenfolge man was isst. Insgesamt war es eine spannende und neue Erfahrung für uns. Einen Tipp für alle, die nach uns kommen: das Hotel bietet einen Shuttle-Service von Gora-Station aus an. Da Gora sehr am Hang liegt und wir uns mit unseren Koffern die 100 Höhenmeter zu Fuß hochgekämpft haben, würden wir empfehlen bei Ankunft am Bahnhof die Unterkunft anzurufen und nach dem Shuttle zu fragen. Per Cable-Car und Ropeway waren Hakone und der Lake Ashi super zu erreichen, beides und auch das Schiff auf dem See waren in den Hakone FreePass inkludiert.

Nice traditional Japanese dinner and breakfast. Room with traditional Japanese tatami for sleeping. Staff are very nice welcoming and friendly. They even offer us a ride when we checkout. We travel with 2 children and they been very accommodating to our needs. Facilities provided 24hrs access to men and women public hot spring bath tub. There are also a private bath hot spring tub just for individual family to use. Overall been very happy with our stay on this roykan.

Amazing dining experience, nice staff, multiple options for onsens including family one. Public onsen across the street was nice.

Very well located Ryokan with a public onsen. The property is a little dated and the onsen was not the cleanest we experienced in Japan but the rooms were clean, comfortable and the location is beautiful. There are not a lot of dining options nearby so I recommend the half board plan. The breakfast and dinner was lovely.

Die Unterkunft ist etwas in die Jahre gekommen, das Personal beim Essen ist sehr freundlich.

Staff were very friendly and helpful! Only thing was a slightly weird smell in the room - otherwise, very relaxing and quiet ryokan with nice onsen.

建物が古いのと階段が多かったり、本館への移動は少し面倒だが食事は美味しかったし、スタッフの方の対応も良かったし楽しい時間を過ごすことができた。 温泉は濁り湯で気持ち良いが古すぎるが故少し清潔感がないように見えてしまった。割と狭いのでもう少しゆっくり入れるお風呂だと良いなと思いました。

This ryokan is showing its age. Some maintenance could improve the aesthetics. Still, it was good value for the price. The staff and the food (we opted for half board) were terrific.

Lovely remote location but physical place is a little dated in the interior. The staff was delightfully friendly. The food was plentiful but this was my first experience with it and not sure what i was eating most of the time, lots of unknowns so, i will reserve comment except that it was plentiful and beautifully presented.

A bit dated but excellent food and service. Really enjoyed staying here

自然が豊かで、部屋からも鳥や虫の声が聴こえるくらい静かなよいところでした。脱衣所（女性）は、設備が古い部分があったようです。

Good place to stay, but they gave me smaller room not I had booked. Service was good, good was so delicious!

Love the room and the balcony I was suprised we got. The dinner was wonderful too, something you would get at a nice restaurant. The staff were amazing and so helpful and truly kind.

The service is very well, love the hot spring, the view is beautiful, enjoy Japanese style meals and the room. The only thing is the hotel is on the top of a hill, there is a 10 min walking from cable train to hotel, when we were leaving, the hotel dropped us off the strain station. You may call them to drive you to the hotel if you have large luggage. Overall, I would like to revisit it again, and highly recommend this hotel!

This was a delightful stay for our family. The hotel checkin was a breeze, and the staff was so friendly and kind. They gave a very good overview of the stay, what to expect and where to find things. The meals were wonderful. Beautifully presented and tasty. We also had accommodations for Vegetarian and Vegan diners which made it an all inclusive experience for our group.
