Top Kowakudani Hotel Reviews

YuYu Hakone - Private Open Air Onsen Usage Guaranteed

10/10 Excellent

"Bus stop right out front and convenient to the ropeway stop. Beat the crowds and go clockwise (ship, ropeway, then cable car). Black eggs stop worth it. Need cash if not using the H or K buses. Hakone pass was worth it as it covered the ferry, ropeway, cable car and H and K busses. The private onsen was really good after a day out. You book it for an hour and is included in your booking. Room #1 has its own shower, others use the onsen showers."

Hakone Kowakien Mikawaya Ryokan

8/10 Good

"Lovely staff, wonderful meals and a beautiful building (from the outside). Unfortunately the hallways were really musty and run down and the room, while gorgeous (we had our own outdoor onsen, which was divine!), was really damp. The bedding felt damp and the pillows were hard as rocks. Incredible history in this building, with a quirky little museum to wander, but it needs to be renovated."

Yumoto Fujiya Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"A perfect one night stay for my two-day visit to Hakone. I made the hotel aware of an allergy ahead of breakfast and booking their kaiseki meal, and they made every effort to accommodate me and serve me food catered to my dietary requirements The onsen was a wonderful experience, with lots of helpful guides in English for my first time. A calm, restful and restorative stay"
