The hotel was relaxing, onsen was amazing, dinner was a limited menu but good. The secenery was stunning. The staff were hard to find at times, overall I would definitely come back.
I enjoyed the private onsen very much, the staff were helpful and friendly, meals were yummy as well! Highly recommend!
I will say that is a little hard to get to.
Personal onsen experience was the best in my 14 day Japan trip. Outdoor onsen feels like soaking in nature. Very close to Hakone shrine and all most popular spots in area.

Clean room, nice staff, breakfast can be improved since it felt a bit dry
Great place for the price. Step up from a hostel that works well for families and has a really nice Onsen for private use. Breakfast was also really nice! Service was also very friendly and helpful.
Downsides are the location and the lack of shower in rooms.

Excellent onsen, nice staff, well-located, and excellent breakfast.
We loved the onsen hot bath outside, the room was spacious and comfortable. The staff were very polite and helpful, and the food was good including the Japanese breakfast set and the udon we ate for dinner
It’s a good idea to message the hotel beforehand to reserve the onsen on the evening you arrive; we were lucky that there was a spot available, but you will have no problem getting a spot any other day. The onsen is such a nice way to unwind after a long day of exploring this gorgeous mountain area.
Yoi tabi wo!

Friendly staff, and clean and spacious room. The outdoor bath was amazing
Love the traditional futon beds and room - it’s comfy and we especially love the private onsen that you can book. Each booking is for 50 mins to enjoy onsen peacefully by yourself
Friendly staff, amazing onsen, and the Japanese-style room was beautiful. It’s a little far from everything, but if you’re willing to take the bus, the stop is right in front making it super convenient. Such a peaceful, relaxing stay. Would definitely come back.
