The architecture and design of the property was very simple and clean and adapted well to its natural surroundings. The room with its bath in the balcony and the attention to details was amazing.
The food at the restaurant was a bit bland and could be better. The service was great but the staff need a bit more experience in telling its story of the food and dishes. The times were also a bit inflexible despite being relatively empty. Nevertheless, it was a good time.
The guest lounge was also very good but closed way too early - especially if you wanted to spend some time after dinner.
The open-air vista bath was absolutely fantastic, especially at night. It had all the necessary amenities and was luxurious. I went for both nights, but found it strange that a lady worker kept visiting the men's bath to clean and refresh.
Overall, a great experience with a luxury feel.

Quite simply the nicest hotel I have ever stayed in. The service was impeccable and everything was spotlessly clean.This felt like a holiday within a holiday. My only regret is that we could not stay there longer.

Service at the hotel was amazing. Very traditional Japanese hotel. Comfortable beds and bedding great shower. We used taxi to get in and out and spend 1 night only. Our dinner at the Western restaurant ( grill ) was 10 stars. So amazing - expertise , food , service - all
Worth it. We had western breakfast. We used bath on the balcony and it was spectacular. I can't recommend this hotel high enough. We also wore kimono all over and to dinner and that too was fun !

We had a lovely room with a private onsen. There's nothing quite like waking early and walking from your bed to a warm bath on a terrace with a stunning view. Easy walk to the cable car and ropeway to enjoy views of Mt Fuji, Lake Ashinoko and the steaming caldera.

This is a beautiful, newish property.
Pros:
- Comfortable stylish lounge for all guests with free snacks and drinks (including a wide selection of wine, beer, spirits, and soft drinks) all day
- Beautiful lobby and common areas
- Professional and attentive staff
- Located 5 minutes walk from the Gora train station so very convenient
Cons:
- The price was very high
- The food was sub par in general and compared to other ryokans in Hakone (the western breakfast was much better than the Japanese dinner)
- The style and view from the public onsen was not great despite facing the mountains (e.g. you could see a large factory, and the view of the trees was blocked when you were sitting in the onsen)
Overall I would choose another ryoken next time I visit Hakone

Great Hotel close to Gora Station!
Hotel stay was a great experience! Staff were friendly and helpful and courteous. I would not include the meals as they were not authentic Japanese food and could be better quality as an experience.
Hotel was very nice and very enjoyable stay.
