Yoshiike Ryokan Reviews

Stunning Historical Garden: The absolute highlight is their massive traditional Japanese garden. It feels like walking through a living postcard, with beautiful ponds, lush trees, and streaming water. To our surprise, we were greeted by fireflies at night while strolling after dinner. The natural hot spring water here is top-tier. We get almost 24-hour access to the relaxing indoor and outdoor baths (rotenburo). Soaking under the stars after a long day of exploring was pure bliss. Prime Location: It is incredibly convenient—just a flat, easy 7-minute walk from Hakone-Yumoto Station. No need to haul heavy bags up steep hills. The service is warm, welcoming, and attentive. The rooms are beautifully kept, offering that authentic, peaceful ryokan vibe. Traditional Japanese Breakfast. Dinner is a multi-course, traditional Kaiseki feast served right in the restaurant, which beautifully overlooks the illuminated evening garden.

Excellent food and service, but there were mosquitoes in the room.

Absolutely amazing! The huge courtyard is stunning, the room is comfortable, and the service is attentive. There weren't many people, so I practically had the public hot spring all to myself. Oh, if only I could stay here for half a year or a year!

Facilities: As expected from a century-old garden, it's a truly exquisite Japanese style. The room even has a private hot spring, and it's incredibly clean! A germaphobe's dream! Hygiene: Extremely clean, and the yukata (robe) was very comfortable. Don't even get me started on the food – it was beyond amazing, with two different meals a day. The service was superb too! Environment: Very comfortable and quiet. I especially loved the garden; I imagine it would be even more beautiful during autumn when the maple leaves change. Service: Excellent! The front desk staff even remembered me by face.

The staff were so kind and attentive, which made for a really enjoyable trip. The location is also great, less than a 10-minute walk from Hakone-Yumoto Station.

The hotel's location is excellent. The bus to Owakudani leaves right in front of the hotel. However, there was no snow, so the outdoor views from the hotel weren't particularly appealing, just mountains and bare branches. Since we didn't opt for a meal, the two futons were already laid out for us quite early.

The room was fine, and the service was good.

The location was amazing right when you get off from Shinjuku - the amenities are nice and the staff helpful. Just note that checkout is at 10:00AM and getting a late one requires you to pay. A bit pricey, but not in comparison to other options in Hakone.

Friendly staff, great location, spotless clean. Dinner and breakfast were great. Spa facilities are great too.

Everything was perfect, except for the price. I stayed in two different room types and was very satisfied with both. My only minor complaint is that communication with the front desk wasn't always smooth, as not everyone spoke English.

The hotel has a beautiful environment, especially the Japanese garden 🏡 which is incredibly picturesque. Even though it's winter, the plum blossoms and cherry blossoms 🌸 in the courtyard are already in bloom, making for a pleasant stroll. There are also many cultural relics. The guest rooms are a bit dated, and the facilities are just average.

Amazing hotel and walking distance from the train station. Staff are accommodating and the room is SUPERB!!! AMAZING I am just in awe and with the facilities as well. The outdoor onsen is amazing, very relaxing and just gives you a different vibe from the indoor onsen.

The courtyard is beautiful, the location is very convenient, and the open-air hot spring is gorgeous.

The garden was so pretty and the view from our ryokan was unbelievable
