Hakone Yutowa in Hakone

A beautifully designed hotel with a serene atmosphere. I loved the onsen facilities, especially having both private and public baths to choose from. The surroundings were so quiet that I slept incredibly well. The breakfast buffet was delicious, and the location couldn’t be more convenient. A wonderful stay overall.

The room was great, and the front desk staff were very attentive and detailed. The hotel's overall environment is quite good, and the transportation is also convenient, making it suitable for friends visiting Hakone for the first time. The hotel facilities are complete, and the lounge on the second floor is open 24 hours. You can go there to have some drinks and chat, and it's all free.

I had a wonderful stay at Hakone Yutowa. The hotel was very clean, and the atmosphere felt warm and cozy—especially perfect during the winter season.

One of the highlights was the free-flow alcohol selection, which included plum wine, Japanese spirits, whisky, and beer. They also offered a nice variety of snacks like spicy biscuits, nuts, cakes, and mochi, which made the experience even more enjoyable.

The only downside is the location—getting to restaurants or a convenience store requires a bit of a walk. But overall, it’s a comfortable and relaxing place to stay, especially if you’re looking to unwind.

The hotel is a 5–6 minute walk from Gora Station, making it convenient for exploring the area. They offer welcome drinks and snacks, along with complimentary coffee and beverages. Both breakfast and dinner were delicious; breakfast included congee, and dinner was a generous spread (buffet plus beef or fish teppanyaki). The room was newly renovated and quite spacious. While there's no bathtub, the indoor onsen is good (though no open-air bath, there is a foot bath). Service was decent, and it offers great value for money.

The room was spotless, and the mini-bar and breakfast service were perfectly in line with the price. The staff's attitude was absolutely perfect. The hot springs were fantastic and really helped me relax~

This is a very spacious onsen ryokan with a kids' book corner and a manga nook. The private onsen baths are free of charge, making it perfect for family trips, though they are quite popular and require a queue. There are complimentary afternoon refreshments and late-night snacks. The courtyard features a bonfire and foot bath. From check-in in the afternoon, there are always facilities to use, and it never feels too crowded, even on weekends, as the space is very well-arranged and comfortable. The hotel is conveniently located right next to Gora Station, making it easy to get around by bus or train. The staff are very friendly, and snacks are constantly replenished, so you don't have to worry about missing out if you arrive late. After a hot spring bath, there's milk and popsicles available. The 24-hour self-service beverage bar also has hot water and hot tea, so those who prefer warm water are covered. The only downside is the lack of a full-length mirror in the room, which is a bit of a pity.

Hotel is great . Though abit confusing moving around . They serve free titbits and some liquor around evening time . Hotel is within walking distance from train station. If need a kettle in the room, need to take from on of the table near the reception area . Overall a great stay

The hotel is conveniently located, just a 5-minute walk from Gora Station. If I had to pick one downside, it would be that the private onsen isn't great – it's not open-air. You don't need a reservation to queue up, and each session is 30 minutes.

The hotel location is super convenient, just about 200 meters from Gora Station. The room was spacious, and Gora Park is right next door. After the heavy snow yesterday, the scenery was absolutely stunning. Oh, and the front desk staff was very welcoming too. Overall, I'm very satisfied.

One of the best hot spring hotels even experienced in Japan!

New, clean and comfy environment, the buffet dinner and breakfast provided wide variety of food.
Additional drink and snack served in the common areas even not paid for the meal options.
The staff are friendly as usual in Japan.
Also the private onsen available without extra cost.

Highly recommended!
