What guests think

At Hakone Kowakien Tenyu, travellers highlight serene open air onsens with mountain views, spacious rooms with private baths, and warm, attentive service, while generous buffet meals impress many, though the remote location and timed dining can feel inconvenient.

Extras like nightly lobby concerts, a landscaped garden, free ice cream, and a shuttle to Gora add to the resort feel. Cleanliness is widely praised, though a few guests note dated areas, occasional dust or pests, and crowded buffet periods. Expect a relaxing, onsen-centric stay best suited to unwinding on site.

Overall good stay, the garden was a high light to walk around at night. Ukulele class at hotel lobby was fun. Swimming pool, water park was packed. Hotel offered ice-cream machine for free and need to take a token from reception but we didn’t know until the day we checked out. Need to see the sign next to the machine, did not look as not too kin on sweet but my children love, wish we knew earlier or was given a token when check in would be more useful. Hotel off ¥5606 for food order as platinum member but was given a VIP lounge pass, it was nice but we do not drink alcohol, food was limited snack but no to our taste, spaces was full when we wen first evening. I prefer cash credit for food order in the future. Thanks

The room was spotless and large, overlooking the mountains. The staff were amazing and extremely attentive always looking to be helpful. If the lobby is busy they still greet you at the door and lead you to a place to sit while waiting to check-in. The onsens were extremely clean and tidy. One staff member was usually present in the change room to tidy up and restock and also to walk through the onsens to ensure people were following the rules. The views from both public onsens were 10/10 (they swap male and female public onsens overnight so both onsens can be experienced). They also have unlimited free vending machine ice cream. Their dinner buffet may be the best thing I’ve ever eaten in Japan - I could’ve cried the first time I had their fatty tuna nigiri. I still think about the food at Tenyu weeks later. When you leave the staff wave goodbye and bow to your complimentary shuttle bus. Amazing service worth every penny. I’ll be back for sure!

This property is absolutely incredible. The view alone is so soothing, but the highlight - hands down — is the hot spring bath (onsen). Please, do not miss it. Yes, you have to go in naked, but it's truly worth getting over any Western discomfort. The experience is surreal. They alternate floors daily between men and women, so you get to enjoy both the waterfall view and mountain view. And when I say waterfall view, I mean you are literally at the foot of a waterfall — it's breathtaking. Everything about the bath experience is 5 stars: the variety of hot and cold pools, the traditional Japanese showers, and the gorgeous vanity areas stocked with every skincare product you could ever need. Guests are also encouraged to wear traditional Japanese robes (yukata) during their stay, which instantly sets the tone and puts you in a peaceful, zen-like state. Pro tip: Book the dinner buffet in advance along with your room — it's half the price compared to purchasing it on-site. Both the dinner and breakfast buffets were excellent, with a wide and delicious variety. Guests staying at TenYu also get free access to the amusement park and water park in the adjacent hotel, connected by a tunnel. It's perfect for families! Although there's a full pool and water park, my kids surprisingly preferred the serenity of the hot springs. It was all so enjoyable that our 2-night stay magically extended to 3 and we’re coming back tmw to end our month trip with 3 more days there.

We very much enjoyed our stay at Hakone Kowakien TEN-YU and left feeling thoroughly satisfied with the overall experience. We stayed for three days and two nights on a half-board basis, and both dinner and breakfast consistently exceeded expectations. The traditional Japanese kaiseki dinner was beautifully presented and thoughtfully prepared, and the hot pot experience was equally memorable. Each meal felt carefully curated rather than routine, which we greatly appreciated. One of the highlights was the sunrise onsen. There is something quite special about soaking in the open-air bath while watching the morning light unfold — it was genuinely breathtaking. Breakfast, too, was generous in variety and high in quality. If we were to mention one small point, it would concern the blackout curtains. As we were travelling with a young child, the room tended to become bright quite early in the morning, which occasionally meant an earlier start to the day than we might have hoped. A slightly more complete blackout arrangement would perhaps make the experience even more comfortable for families. That said, considering the price point, the standard of accommodation, dining and overall atmosphere represents remarkable value. We were sufficiently impressed that we have already arranged to return in November, which perhaps says more than anything else.

Embora tudo seja funcional, hotel tem sinais de idade nas instalações. O café da manhã é ultra variado e com opções nobres, mas também é um tanto movimentado, padrão buffet de grande hotel, com muitas famílias. O quarto padrão Ryokan tem pouquíssimos móveis, o que deveria estar refletido em um preço menor. No geral, acho que não valeu o custo de mais de R$4000 a diária. Mas o hotel é bastante movimentado e tanto por japoneses como turistas internacionais.

Overall it was a good stay. The onsen is amazing! Rooms are big and spacious, but furniture is showing signs of getting dated and in need of a refurbishing. Comfortable pillows and bed a little hard for my preference. We had for dinner the Luxury Kaiseki including 4 dishes, of which 2 were great (sashimi and sukiyaki) and 2 others I didn’t enjoy, although appearance was beautiful. The dinner included the sushi buffet, but our waiter didn’t explain that properly, so I found it out only at the end of the dinner and regret for not focusing more on it as the sushi options were great with lots of bluefin tuna. My major complain about the hotel is the lack of response to questions I sent for over 3 months through hotels.com tool and even direct email. They simply didn’t reply emails despite my several follow ups.

Overall the stay was great (Room was good and meals were good too) except for the payment part. Our family stayed for 3 nights and Hotels.com had charged us already for 1 night before the trip. So we should only pay for 2 nights at the hotel after our stay. But they charged us for 3 nights. The reception officer kept saying that we needed to pay for 3 nights. After trying to reason with him, I spoke to the manager, who confirmed we only needed to pay for 2 nights. There was no apology for the mistake and if I didn’t insist that they check again and again, we would have been billed for 3 nights.

I stayed at Ten Yu and really enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere. The room was spacious and comfortable, with a lovely in-room tub that added a touch of luxury. The public onsen was beautiful and well-maintained—definitely one of the highlights of the stay. However, the hotel is quite far from the train station, which made getting there a bit inconvenient. Unfortunately, the food was also underwhelming and didn’t live up to expectations, especially given the overall quality of the property. Overall, a wonderful place to unwind and enjoy the onsen experience.

It took me three me almost three hours from Tokyo and then more than three hours to go to Heneda airport. However, I don't feel sorry for the long travel time. The hotel itself is like a self-sufficient club with a lot of free services such as hot spring bath, various cold tea, warm rice wines, sparkling wines, snacks and even ice cream from vending machine for free. There are also live music in the evenings. I love its footpath facing the green hill slope. I guess there are more to enjoy inside the hotel. I love its buffet dinner. Very nice one. But if you don't have a really big stomach, you call choose other restaurants outside. But inside the restaurant for dinner, you could put on the relaxed traditional 'pyjama' which is allowed inside the hotel. You can dine like this only inside the hotel. The most unexpected finding for me is the Outdoor Open-air Museum near by. Nice walking of 30mins or by bus. A I spent an enjoyable day there. I bring home a lot of happy memory from this three-day stay with my wife.

We especially loved the onsen, which was the highlight of our trip - the outdoor onsen with views of the garden lit up at night was simply bedazzling. The shuttle buses running to and fro Gora Station made transportation relatively accessible, and we found the location of the property quite central to the different spots we wanted to visit. In short, I would not hesitate to recommend this place to anyone looking for a fantastic stay in Hakone.

The property has everything you could need, including free ice cream and drinks in the lobby, nightly live music/entertainment, and dining options. The location isn't super walkable or convenient to stores and restaurants, but this was just fine with us. There is an indoor tunnel connecting this property to another with a restaurant and convenience store which was nice to have. Amazing trip

This is an expensive hotel, and it is the food that makes it more expensive. With minimal options nearby, you are kind of destined to book the food options. We did not find the food options up to the standard of which we had paid. Some food was cold when it should be hot and food choices felt limited in some areas. This is buffet style dining. The free ice creams was brilliant though. And the onsen is the best onsen we have visited in Japan. the room was spacious and comfortable. We had a room with a private onsen, which to be honest is not necessary, because the main onsen is so amazing. The gardens are beautiful and the staff relly helpful, if maybe sometimes a little overbearing.
