We came to Japan to experience the culture. Hakone hotel Sensei was perfect. Beautiful room with private onsen. We also experienced the open air onsen. The dinner and breakfast was fantastic. My only complaint was too much food.

We had a fantastic stay at Yamagaso. We were able to drop our bags off at the main hotel so we could go sightseeing before check-in. Dinner was a delicious kaiseki meal served in our room. It was great having our own private bath in our villa with hot spring water. Our host Momo-san was sweet and very helpful. If we ever return to Hakone we would love to stay here again.

No Dinner

Booked through hotels.com. I thought that, since this was a ryokan and other reviews mentioned the amazing Kaiseki style dinner they served, that dinner would come with my booking. There was no additional option when booking to specify whether I wanted dinner or not; so I figured it was implied/included, as it has been for other Ryokan bookings. Turns out, somehow, despite being $600+ a night, my booking did NOT include dinner. This wasn't made clear to me until after dinner never showed up the first night. So, after bathing and putting on my yukata and relaxing with a beer, I had to trudge back outside in my streetwear where the only thing open was an Izakaya with a 1.5 hour wait. I complained to the staff in the morning, and they refused to do anything to make it right. If I wanted dinner that following night, I'd have to pay 20,900 yen more. This overall RUINED my experience for these two days of my trip, which were also, by far, the most expensive accommodations. Given this I cannot award any stars to this place. The actual room and hotel grounds were nice, but not worth getting my trip screwed over. DO NOT BOOK. Find something else, one that will not screw you over on the experience.

This place blew us away! We stayed in the Yamagaso annex in the Chouji room. The area was great, a nice walk or bus ride from the station. Then the room, we were very impressed! Traditional style with the tatami mats. We had the half board which included breakfast and dinner. The amount and variety of food was spectacular! The staff were super friendly too, everyone we met was great! We used the private bath, public bath and the outdoor bath at night which were all very nice and relaxing. I'm not sure how this place could be any better for a relaxing few days in Hakone, would definitely come back every time!

My experience at Yamagaso was amazing. The service was beyond exceptional, the staff pay attention to every single small and big detail. My family felt they staff really cared for each of us (my teenage boys had so my gratitude for how they showed us around the onsen and explained the traditions). If you are looking to experience a traditional onsen, Yamagaso wil give you that. The property is beautiful, I felt the pictures cannot capture the beauty until you see it for yourself. We were able to use all the baths (actually had them to ourselves most of the time!). The food was amazing. They served traditional set course meals and it was very large portions, you will not be hungry for days afterwards! We are willing to try all foods , so we appreciated eating traditional dishes that are very different. The property is easily accessible from Yumoto station, they staff helped give us directions to take one bus and inform the bus driver where to stop. They had a shuttle service for departing the onsen back to the train station. Overall Yamagaso was an experience of a lifetime and probably the best thing our family experienced in Japan…of all vacations we have ever done. If I could rate this place 100 out of 10 I would! Thank you to the staff for making this so special and making a dream come true!

普通には良いが、高すぎる。

離れは雰囲気も良く、とても良かったですが、かなり古い建物で全体が歩くたびに軋みます。 部屋付き内温泉ということで楽しみにしていましたが、1人が体育座りになってやっと入れるほどの小さいお風呂で、ゆっくりは入れませんでした。 写真では大きそうに見えたので、残念でした。 その代わり、離れの客が使える家族風呂や、本館の方と一緒に使える露天風呂、大浴場がありました。 サービスも丁寧でとても良いのですが、玄関にお給仕スタッフさんからのノックが来たらすぐに出ないと、大声で叫ばれ、回り込んで窓までガンガンと叩かれ、急かされている感じが多々ありました。内線電話があるのだから、急ぎや食事の時以外は電話で教えて欲しかったです。 高級旅館という感じの落ち着きはありません。 食事はどれも美味しく、量もちょうど良く満足でしたが、今回は休日ということもあってか12万円以上払っているので、お夕食はお刺身や、メインのお肉などの量がもう少しあっても良かったかと思います。 全体的に、15,000円くらいで食べられそうなものたちでした。もう少し、目を引く豪華なものが欲しかったです。 電波はほぼないですが、少し繋がる程度。 Wi-Fiは、茶屋からしか使えず、お風呂の帰りに湯上がりドリンクのサービスもあるというので行ってみると、コンセントに差し込むタイプのソフトバンクエアーを導入しているだけだったので、そこに行ってもWi-Fiは弱く、動画やゲームなどはできません。 湯上がりドリンクはウィダーやお茶、コーヒー、サイダーがあり良かったです。
