A serene paradise with authentic Japanese style villa. Meticulous garden, comfy tatami, three choices of onsen. Scrumptious dinner and breakfast.

A wonderful hot spring experience. The detached Yamabuki private bath was small but very relaxing, washing away the fatigue of Lake Ashi. The tatami bedroom with the river flowing by was comfortable and quiet. I'll definitely come back to Hakone next time.

This was, without a doubt, the best accommodation experience of my life. Everything was wonderful, every aspect was perfect. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the lodge was magnificent. It even had its own spring! The food was also fantastic. I highly recommend it; you won't regret it if you're looking for a traditional Japanese-style hotel and want to immerse yourself in the country's culture.

It was a good choice to choose Yamagaso for this trip to Hakone! Whether it is the location or the environment, the service is superb! The hostess and several staff are great. I really enjoyed the thoughtfulness from Japanese culture. I still want to thank them for their service here. I ordered breakfast and dinner, which is really worth it. One dish after another was served to the table with the professional service of the hostess. The hot springs in the B&B have a long history, are very quiet and tasteful. We soaked for two consecutive days and did not meet other guests. The other mountaintop terrace bath of the B&B is also very good. I live comfortably and eat comfortably. I am very satisfied!

We had the most lovely stay at Yamagaso! The service here is unmatched! Our attendant, Kimiko made us feel right at home! She was kind, polite and the most lovely person. We can’t say enough good things about her. Our “room” felt more like our own little Japanese home with multiple rooms which included a separate bedroom and dining area. Our quarters were more of a stand alone home/building on the hotel grounds. The outdoor onsen was beautiful. The meals were authentic, had multiple courses with dinners being the best (along with Kimiko). Perfect location with the best experience. Every detail was taken care of. Stay here for the most authentic experience.

Our room looked out onto a beautiful Japanese garden and was incredibly large. The hotel is located in a natural mountain environment, next to a river, 10 minutes from the train station. The quality-price ratio is very good. The attention of the employees has been more than excellent. It is essential to stay for dinner and breakfast to be able to taste its excellent Japanese cuisine as well as the kindness and professionalism of its employees. We have been delighted. Our third experience in a ryokan and one to which we would undoubtedly like to return.
