強羅茶寮 — Hotel in Hakone

We absolutely loved our stay here! We stayed in the Japanese room that came with 2 meals (dinner and breakfast) per person and a private onsen reservation. The room itself is very traditional with folding futon and sheets that you set up once you're there. A yukata was also provided for each of us as well as towels, extra layers, sheets, and tea. The wifi worked well.

The room only has a private bathroom ie. sink and toilet, but you can take a shower/bath in the onsens, either during the public hours (there are two which are separated by gender during those hours) or during your private onsen reservation (which you make upon arrival). There are hourly time slots for the reservation for the two onsens so there should be plenty of times available to you once you check in. We were able to get here by bus from Hakone Yumoto station and then use the bus back down to Odawara but there is a slight walk from the bus stop.

The breakfast was similarly excellent and definitely really filling. We loved both! Finally, the proprietor and chef were both very kind and hospitable. We could not have asked for a better ryokan experience and would...

We had a perfect two-night stay at this ryokan in Gora, December 2023. The rooms, onsen, and service were exceptional. We were particularly amazed by the food that was included in the price of staying there. So much, and of such high quality! Breakfast and dinner were beyond delicious—all our meals were memorable experiences in their own right. Everyone who works there is warm and attentive. We hope to return soon, and will recommend it to everyone planning a trip to Hakone. The location is perfect if you’re planning to take the ropeway and cruise cycle—the hotel is a two-minute walk from the cable car station. Thank you so much for your wonderful...

Amazing stay, very traditional experience. Rooms are clean. The included meals are amazing! The hotel has limited capacity, so the personal attention for each guest is very nice. There are also private onsen hot tubs which you can reserve for 50 minute each time. It's...
