Ryokan prĂšs de Complexe aquatique Hakone Kowakien Yunessun Ă Hakone
There's a restaurant on site. Public spaces have free WiFi. Yakiniku to Kaisen no Yado Raku also features concierge services and a front-desk safe. Limited free parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Our stay was during the coronavirus outbreak so travel throughout Japam was way down. As a consequence, we were the only guests! After getting off the bus from the train station, finding this ryokan was a challenge. Forget its long name and lookfor the sign that says RAKU. It's down a narrow cement walkway from the road.
Breakfast and dinner were great. Be advised that it is a little isolated with essentially nothing that is a short walk away.
Ofuro hot spring baths were great.
Really good value for money. The host (couple) were so amazingly friendly, helpful and service minded. Dinner and breakfast was excellent. On the second morning our breakfast was adjusted to more easy breakfast for westerners which our kids were happy about.
Nice, spacious room and very quiet place. Futon mattresses to sleep on.
Location is good - just remember that there are no nearby shops and restaurants.
Just 2 mins walking distance from Kami-Gora station, interior is cozy, facilities are new, both BBQ dinner and traditional Japanese breakfast are excellent. The only down side is you need to share toilet with others. (Only 2-4 guest rooms per floor, usage amount is quite low)
One of staff can speak simple English so that basic communication is not a problem.
