This is a special place with excellent service. The private onsen was wonderful! The room/cabin was so comfortable, clean, spacious, well stocked, excellent products, safe, and private. The first dinner menu was one of the best Kaiseki experiences. The chef is talented! The second menu was good- but a step away from the first. My only recommendation would be to include non-alcoholic beverages with the included meals. These were available at an additional cost which is not consistent with the luxury and exclusivity of this property. Would highly recommend this property for anyone wanting a few days of quiet luxury, an onsen experience and peaceful beautiful outdoor surroundings.

We loved our stay and didn't want to leave! We had three nights in one of the Villas. It was completely private, the wood cabin was gorgeous and smelled amazing. We had a private outdoor bath in the villa and it was fabulous spending time out there. Both the traditional Japanese breakfast and the French breakfast buffet was a treat. Would recommend trying both.

Our room was beautiful, we even had a piano inside. Our bed had a really nice view of the little garden, where the open air onsen was located. The onsen was clean and it was so nice to sit in the warm water and take in the serene beauty of the place. The staff was really nice and took us by car to our room and to the busstop, they even wanted to take us to the restaurant, but we decided to walk. The breakfast was a gorgeous japanese style breakfast, which we got in our own separate room in the restaurant. All in all, would definitely recommend.

Incredible hotel!! Deep in the Hakone mountains you instantly feel close to nature. We stayed in a private Villa - vs in the hotel - and it was incredible. Well designed, spacious, and built for relaxation with your own semi private onsen. If coming to Hakone to relax, this is a great place to stay. Local bus stop is also a 1 min walk from hotel property which made getting into town and doing some tourist site seeing super easy when we realized you have to call ahead of time to schedule taxis ( Vs instant taxis in Tokyo and kyoto). Would absolutely stay here again ,

An really amazing and comfortable room with a private onsen. Very relaxing and beautiful. The check in process was a bit confusing and it was hard to communicate with the staff about the local area and getting around so it made departure a bit complicated. Highly recommend if you want to just relax and stay onsite. The meals were plentiful and delicious.

We stayed in a ryokan with a private onsen with kaiseki meal package and had a great time. Staff was attentive and helped transport you around the facility via golf cart at request - this helped immensely with luggage transportation up and down the hillside that the property sits on. The kaiseki meals were well prepared and the staff spoke some English.

Hakone Retreat is a gorgeous getaway with a wonderful staff that is always available to assist you. We stayed in one of the private onsen villas, room 3, and it was absolutely everything we could dream of. The hours of operation for the entire property take a little getting used to (the cafe, the lounge and woodside restaurant) but we figured it our and had a fantastic, relaxing time.

I would skip this retreat if you are looking for a nice Onsen. Our cabin was not properly cleaned, where we saw visible dust, cobwebs, and a giant spider! The view from our cabin was not like the gorgeous pictures on their listing. We were quite disappointed overall, especially with what we paid.

Location

Set in the mountains away from central Hakone, the setting is quiet and immersed in nature. A nearby bus stop helps with access, but the hillside layout and lack of shuttle mean some uphill walks and planning ahead for transport.

Nuru-san was wonderful, very attentive, kind, helpful, and taught us so much about Japanese cuture and the food during the exquisite dining experience. Chef Akitoshi Hamanaka-sama is a talented artist and very detailed and passionate about his work. He was also considerate to accommodate a vegetarian diet with a variety of food showcasing Japan’s varied cuisine, and prepared the most memorable wagyu. Thank you to the staff for their hospitality!
