Had an overnight stay with my S/O at Hakone Fuura to watch the Super GT 300/500 race at Fuji Speedway the next day. It was very humid and hot that day that we were soaked in our sweat. Arriving at the ryokan was such a respite! The host greeted us and showed us to our room even when we arrived 30 mins early.
Our room, Momiji, was exquisite! It was clean and comfortable and we enjoyed the traditional feel of it.
The highlights of our stay were the meals and the bath. We had dinner and breakfast intricately prepared for us at 6 pm and 8 am respectively. We even had English translations of the dishes prepared on our table. The host was very attentive and he explained each dish we were about to enjoy.
We'll definitely come back. Hakone Fuura has easily become our favorite and we can't wait for another wonderful stay, hopefully next time, it will be longer...

I recommend this place for the overall experience (location, accommodation, host, food, onsen, ...). The host was very welcoming and friendly, the place was clean and the food (dinner and breakfast) was outstanding. The dinner encompassed 8 courses. My friend is vegetarian which threw the host off a bit (our fault for communicating this too late) but he still managed to make delicious dinner and breakfast on short notice for her.
It was my first time in an Onsen, so can't compare it to others. I really liked the experience. You can book the onsen for private bathing after dinner for 40 minute sessions.
The beds were comfortable and the view from the spacious room was lovely.
We enjoyed the quiet serenity of the place...
Read moreHakone Fura was wonderful. We were made to feel extremely welcome by the owner from the moment we arrived until the moment we left. The rooms and facilities were great. There are the usual male and female baths, which are available to book as private baths after dinner. We opted for half-board, and we're glad we did! Both meals were exquisite... easily the best food we've had so far. There's also no chance of going hungry! This Ryokan is easily accessible via bus from Gora or Lake Ashi and the Owakudani plumes are visible from the windows! There is also a 7-Eleven about...
