Old, traditional, quiet - near Lake Ashi
The meals were AMAZING - make sure you take the half-board option.
We arrived and hour before check-in and were allowed to put our bags in the room but we're rushed out before we could get anything out of them. The room was fully made but we were not allowed in it with our bags for more than one minute supervised - very weird. The location was nice and remote but from Odawara there was no bus for as we were instructed there would be, so an extra train and bus got us there - from the bus stop we had to wing it, a short walk in the rain kind of guessing. The photos of the baths are the private baths - not included in the price. The baths included are no where near as nice. The room could have been better maintained - musty and not pristine. Over all the food made up for it and it was a very unique experience but for the money the other aspects could have been better.

I travelled extensively around Japan before arriving here, and I can honestly say this was an 11/10. Without a doubt, the best stay of my entire trip.
From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel incredibly welcome. Everyone was warm and genuinely hospitable. A special mention to Hatta, who went above and beyond to make my stay memorable.
Everything about this ryokan felt authentic. Wearing a yukata around the property, enjoying a traditional Japanese breakfast served by the sweetest elderly ladies (it felt like being looked after by grandmas!), and sleeping in a beautifully traditional room made for such a unique experience. I had one of the best nights’ sleep of my trip.
The property itself is simple and modest, yet immaculately clean, beautifully maintained, and full of traditional Japanese charm. It doesn’t rely on luxury—it wins you over with its authenticity, warmth, and attention to detail.
Do not miss the dinner. They thoughtfully prepared a 7-8 course vegetarian kaiseki meal for me, and it was hands down the best meal I had in Japan. Every course was beautifully presented and showcased traditional Japanese cuisine.
I also experienced both the public onsen and treated myself to the private onsen, both of which were incredibly relaxing.
With a bus stop just metres away, it’s very easy to explore the surrounding area.
This wasn’t just my favourite hotel in Japan—it was the highlight of my entire trip. I would return in a heartbeat.
Nothing - sadly I could only stay for 3 nights.
