Ryokan in Asia

Hotel Suisen was the first ryokan I have stayed in and far exceeded my expectations. The hotel is small and very peaceful, set back from the winding road and just a few minutes walk downhill from the mountain railway station Ohiradai. It is very easily accessible from Tokyo and a Hakone Free Pass covers transport costs as well as the cable car. The staff were very friendly and courteous and provided a comprehensive introduction to the facilities, including the indoor and outdoor thermal baths....

Outstanding experience with a warm family. They really take care of you. Breakfast and dinner were ample and of high quality. Also got to enjoy the outdoor onsens. If you do one ryokan experience in Japan, this is the place to go.

Staff are always extremely helpful

Thsi is the second time we've stayed at Bettei Soan, it's an amazing place to stay. The service is impeccable, the villas are beautiful and have every amenity you could possibly need. The private onsen is wonderful, and the japanese breakfast is delightful. I cannot fault it

Very lovely place. Our room had a view of Mt Fuji (when it wasn't cloudy). It was 100% a traditional Japanese Inn, which we liked. They prepared breakfast and dinner, every day. There was a lot of traditional local Japanese food (which I mostly liked despite my western pallet). The staff were incredibly kind! Overall, an amazing experience!

Great hotel on of a hill. There’s on site parking but a little scary to get to as it’s on a narrow path with not much light in the evening. Hotel offers free snacks during certain hours of the day & the onsen is available to use which is nice. Nice lake views from the hotel and rooms

A beautiful hotel. We had a large and well appointed bedroom on 6th floor with a balcony overlooking the stunning green landscape with a spring water bath and swing chair. Staff can’t do enough and you feel very well looked after. Nice touches such as free drinks and ice cream. Wonderful onsen and Japanese garden. Very extensive breakfast buffet. It’s a large hotel and was very noisy when we arrived but was quiet and peaceful after that and had a wonderful air of calmness. Get very clear and...

Very friendly staff in this Ryokan. Japanese and Western breakfasts were excellent quality. Comfortable futon and bedding. Used the private bath with additional cost, though not mineral spa water. Still an enjoyable experience.

Really positive experience. Staff were excellent. Never did find the free coffee that was advertised (and would have made things truly perfect) but overall this was a delightful, peaceful stay.

Amazing place, people, and location!

Onsen was excellent with a great view of the valley.. evening meals well worth the half board

Tachiro-san and his team are brilliant. They are very attentive and they look after us very well during our stay. The kaiseki dinners and breakfast are very yummy. All food served are at the highest quality. We have private open-air onsen in our room, which is a must. You can soak in the onsen at anytime you like. The whole experience is very personal and enjoyable. I would highly recommend this place to anyone!

Friendly staff and amazing location

Great stay
