This was a unique experience. The 2 indoor and 1 outdoor onsen were very relaxing. The staff were extremely friendly, polite and helpful. The traditional Japanese food was beautifully presented and tasty. The standard of cleanliness was exceptional. About 25 minutes walk from Gora station if you are dragging heavy cases up the hill! Otherwise about 15 minutes.

Awful Disgusting Ryokan

My family and I had an utterly deplorable experience at this ryokan in Hakone, which was so appalling that we couldn’t bear to stay the night. Despite its exorbitant pricing, comparable to a 5-star hotel, the conditions were shockingly substandard and outright disgusting. The onsens, which should be a highlight, were filthy, with hair, bugs, and debris floating in them. They were not cleaned between uses and emitted a revolting smell of rotting organic matter. The room was equally unacceptable—grimy, with a pervasive mildew odor that made it unbearable. Even the windows were so dirty we couldn’t see out of them, further adding to the sense of neglect. This ryokan’s cleanliness and maintenance are nonexistent, and it’s an outrage that they charge premium rates for such a deplorable experience. We left immediately and spent the same amount to stay at a proper 5-star hotel, which was a night-and-day difference. Even though we couldn’t get a refund, it was worth every penny to escape this place. Avoid this ryokan at all costs—there are far better options in Hakone that actually care about their guests’ experience.

Traditional Japanese onsen. The only issue iir is in the middle of nowhere and impossible to get any kind of cab or uber in the morning to go to your next destination. Everything at the hotel was great. Service is great. People are extremely kind and helpful, lovely staff!

Must stay in Hakone for a Japanese experience

Beautiful onsen, very hiddrn and quiet. Seems like an authentic Japan experience for foreign travelers. Wonderful private hot spring baths. Choice of western or Japanese slerping arrangements. Ie. Beds or futon mats on real tatami floors. The dinner and breakfast alone are worth the stay. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Especially when navigating cultural differences.

This place is a great place to enjoy a private onsen and nice staff. Be ready to to hike from Gora station to the hotel. Its a bit of a steep hill. I would recommend catching a short taxi.

Beautiful Ryokan. Peaceful and very serene. I enjoyed walking around the town, visiting the Rose Garden, and eating at local eateries. I would highly recommend this Ryokan for people wanting the onsen experience, as you can request it privately. That was the main reason why I chose this onsen. I highly recommend this Ryokan.

This was our luxury stay in Japan. We absolutely loved the traditional ryokan and the private onsen was just dreamy. We had the option to book an hour every morning and evening—we just booked in the evening because in the morning we are usually ready to get our day started (and I think the bookings started maybe at 8am?). We loved the little walk down the hill to the train station—it was a pretty walk. While in Halone, Gora Park is a MUST—it is so beautiful and there is so much to see. I’d also recommend the Hakone Free Pass, which covered all of our transportation, the visit to Gora Park, and lots more! We’d definitely stay here again!
The view from our window that overlooked the walkway to the front of the hotel.
Room service—shrimp rice, butter chicken, and vegetable curry. It was all delicious!

Google maps made this place very hard to find. It’s way up a steep hill and not an easy walk so don’t plan on walking there. It’s a very difficult 20 min walk. Call a cab. Breakfast is not that great and is kind of expensive. Hot mineral springs are nice and are booked by the hour for each room so they are private. Staff is very nice.

A wonderful traditional ryokan. Clean, with private onsens you can use twice per day (or more). Very friendly staff. Highly recommend! Tip: take a taxi from the train station, it is a 15 min walk but very uphill. Also, for fine dining you can walk 10 minutes to the Hyatt that has two nice restaurants incl. sushi.

Nice but not worth the price

We enjoyed our stay at Ajisai. The rooms and futon were comfortable and staff was nice and accommodating, but for the price I have stayed at far better Ryokan. The images online made the rooms seem bigger and as if we would have our own baths attached to our room. Which is my own fault for not reaching out to clarify. But, personally, I would not have paid the ammount we did if I'd known it was only two tattami rooms and a toilet. Also, my companians were dissapointed in the way that the staff handled a large spider entering our room, as it made the room very difficult to be in, but we sincerely hope that the older man who sprayed an entire raid can into our room is okay as we could hear him coughing from upstairs. Speaking of which, the floors are very thin so if you have the downstairs room you can hear everyone walking in the hall and in their rooms upstairs.
