Aura Tachibana

The hotel is a great hotel. Our room has an outdoor private onsen pool. The onsen pool was great and very convenient for us, since we jumped in the pool anytime we are in our room. Our room faces the mountain and each morning we wake up to a beautiful view. Breakfast was great. Will definitely consider staying here again.

Good to stay for a traditional Japanese onsen and bedroom experience. Staff very friendly. If you prefer western style room amenities you may not enjoy. The property and rooms are dated and in need of some renovation even if keeping in traditional Japanese style.

The staff was amazing. Helpful, welcoming and very attentive and professional. The chef accommodated food allergies and we enjoyed the meals. Ensen was relaxing and wonderful. Thank you for a memorable and enjoyable stay.

We loved our stay at this ryokan in Hakone - it was our favourite stay during a rent Japan trip. This was our first time staying at a ryokan in Japan. We walked from the train station to the ryokan but you must walk about a steep hill with luggage, so yiu need to be fit. I would suggesting calling and tsking advantage of the free shuttle offered by the property. We used the shuttle to go back to the train station. We stayed two nights which was great. The service was amazing - everyone was so kind and professional. We had our breakfaat and dinner included which was wonderful. The meals were amazing! They did a great job accommodating dietary allergies in our group. The meals were a highlight of our trip. We loved trying all the different Japanese foods. Even the picky eaters in our group found enough to fill them up. We wore the traditional Japanese clothing found in our room to dinner, as did most of the other hotel guestd. We had a choice of dinner times and then enjoyed the onsen after dinner. There were 3 times to chose from for breakfast 7:30 am, 8 am or 8:30 am. We loved the choice. The bathrooms in the rooms are dated but we never used the bathrooms because we always used the hotel onsens. We had a room without a private onsen and did not feel like we were missing out on anything. There is rooftop onsens that can be booked but we found the temperature of these too hot. Overall, an amazing stay. I would definitely return again!
