Top Kowakudani Hotel Reviews

The Fujiya Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel in a beautiful area!"

Mizunoto

10/10 Excellent

"This was a really wonderful experience to stay at this property. The rooms are traditional Japanese and so nice! The private onsens were also wonderful. They provided everything necessary for a memorable and pleasant stay. It rained the whole time while we were there so we didn’t explore much outside the property but we’re happy to stay inside and enjoy the amenities. The only downside, and this has nothing to do with the hotel itself, is the bus ride getting up there and then returning. It was a crazy mess. It was crowded beyond imagination and getting people on and off with their luggage was nearly impossible. It was the high season, so it may not always be that way."

Susukinohara Ichinoyu

10/10 Excellent

"Nice hotel, room is small, not as big as it looks in the photos, the toilet area is tiny. Beds were big and comfortable though, we had the twin room, very quiet in the evening. We were on HB, breakfast and dinner were lovely, plenty of food, tasty. Private in-room hot spring was really good for us, as we were conscious about using the public one. The location is little bit out of the main towns but I would stay here again."

Laforet Hakone Gora Yunosumika

10/10 Excellent

"An absolutely amazing stay in Hakone. The room was clean and tidy and oh so very spacious. The private onsen was a dream. The dinner and breakfast options I would highly recommend as there isn’t a lot of options around. Location is slightly inconvenient but that’s just small town life. However, this is a more modern ryokan than a traditional one which was fine with me. A great place to relax and wind down."
