Ryuguden was the perfect place for us. Everyone was kind and everything was beautiful. We are very grateful to have had this experience. Thank you! Arigato Gozaimasu!

Nice hotel with traditional room.

Mediocre at best

Good view from the room but that was about it. Hot spring is mediocre and the food is even more so. Not worth the $2000 paid (family of 6) for a night including tax and half-board meals.
Charles K, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Great location with lake views. We upgraded to a Japanese room with private onsen. Room was spacious (four of us). Facilities were also great but biggest let down was ventilation & mould on walls Not great for asthma sufferer. I raised this with the hotel who offered a small reduction on cost of upgrade but this doesn’t really compensate for the bad experience.. The hotel however said they would clean the mould properly next time.
Sui Che, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Nice views of Mount Fuji from the rooms. A particular, very dated but at the time certainly nice architecture. Makes for a very charming experience. However, some areas urgently need to be updated, e.g. showers, sinks, blow dryers, etc. Everything was very clean, all employees very friendly. Good Onsen experience. Beds not overly comfortable. What was not OK was the food. There are no choices whatsoever. Only set meals for dinner and breakfast are included (at dinner, a very small and unattractive a la carte menue is also available). One cannot change them, there is no flexibility in the services provided. No explanations are given beforehand what to expect. Quality of food is mediocre, very repetitice from day to day. Some items were OK but overall we had a lot better food elsewhere in Japan. Steep prices for additional drinks, even coffee for breakfast costs extra. Overall I find this place nice, but overpriced. Would only go back if food quality and service are improved and prices drop and/or updstes are made. Because everybody was so polite and helpful and the outside setting is beautiful (but touristy, you are still close to Tokyo), we keep good memories.

Charmant et reposant, mais déçus par la vue Fuji

Nous avions réservé une chambre avec vue sur le mont Fuji, mais malheureusement la météo n’a pas été de notre côté. Même avec un ciel dégagé, l’angle depuis la fenêtre ne semblait pas idéal, ce qui est un peu décevant vu le supplément payé. En revanche, l’expérience dans une chambre japonaise traditionnelle avec futons préparés le soir était très intéressante et dépaysante. L’hôtel est calme, discret et beaucoup plus intime que le grand établissement de la même chaîne situé juste à côté. Nous avons apprécié cette atmosphère reposante en couple. Le onsen est agréable, même si celui des femmes est plus limité (pas de bain froid ni de sauna), tandis que celui des hommes est plus complet — mon compagnon en a donc davantage profité. Petit plus pratique : l’hôtel propose une navette directe jusqu’à la gare d’Odawara, ce qui facilite beaucoup le retour.

Amazing property. Charm and service. Views of mt fuji from the room. Some of the best dinning i've had in Japan. Private onsen was a treat. Public Onsen spaces were amazing.
Joshua, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Some of my highlights of this stay were the view, the location, the food, and the service! Those components made for a wonderful stay in Hakone. However, I felt that the room and the hotel seem a bit outdated as a lot of the cabinets were chilling, and there was no air conditioning during our stay. The control panel seems to be broken as the dial didn’t work, but we were later informed that the hotel was running the heat during the time. Fortunately during our visit, Hakone was a bit cooler which the Dyson air fan was helping a little bit. Overall, there were a lot of positives about the hotel that overshadowed the negatives. However, we were expecting a better property condition for the price we paid.

よいお宿でした

部屋からは芦ノ湖と富士山がきれいに臨まれ、夕食と朝食は伝統的なお料理が美味しく丁寧にサービスされ、本館と別館の大浴場も快適で、大満足の滞在ができました。

This was a great spot to have some peace and quiet during our busy JAPAN trip. I do have to say that all that changed when a large group came in. The servers were overwhelmed and we were all but forgotten. It changed the whole vibe of the place having a large group talking loudly and being demanding. It would have been perfect otherwise.

Great Ryokan, make sure you plan you travel from the station as limited taxis. Buses are regular but full of Gaijin with massive suit cases who are not always respectful of the locals. The Onsen and view of Fuji San is incredible. Food is very high end Japanese so make sure you understand this. Staff are very nice and helpful and speak English but do try and speak Japanese you are in Japan after all. 10/10

Our Cambodian server Ran was the highlight of our stay. The first nights meal was also very nice but the property and onsen is very old and needs updating
Robert, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We loved the hotel and the peace that you feel staying there; the outside onsen is a dream, and the view of Fuji-san is unbelievable. The dinning experience couldn't be better, each day was a different surprise, we loved our host called Ran, she was a trainee there, but to be honest she gave us the best service and recommendations, if you stay there aks for her service and definitely will improve your overall experience at dinning. Overall I loved, my only recommendation would be to have more entertainment for kis, other than that everything was great.

Excellent place in Hakone

This place is an excellent place for visiting in autumn. If the weather is good, you would be able to see Mount Fuji from the room and onsen. Some of the staff are able to speak Chinese and English. The only thing that I would remind anyone going would be "bring towel" to onsen place if you are living there as there are no towels in main onsen.
KA WAH, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This was a beautiful stay. The facility is a little aged but it's been maintained well and the room views are phenomenal. The baths were clean and there was enough options that getting away from some of the noisier guests wasn't too difficult. In the morning I had the baths completely to myself and it was incredibly relaxing. Absolutely would stay here again. The only thing that was a downside to my stay was the massage. An older woman was doing the massages and it just wasn't good. She couldn't get deep pressure and there wasn't any attention paid to knotted areas. I had several massages while in Japan and this was probably the worst one.
