Recommended! It is a relaxing and peaceful place to stay. We upgraded our room and definitely worthy because we enjoyed our private onsen with beautiful scenery. The onsen is the best we ever had in Japan.

We stayed here with our four-year-old and had a wonderful time. They provided child robes and meals and everyone was so kind. Free coffee and tea downstairs and amazing baths in the rooms! Would definitely return.

Our stay was incredible. Felt like another world! We never left the facility as we took full advantage of the hot springs and hot tub in the hotel and our room. The staff was amazing and helpful. The treats and refreshments very welcome and the shuttle to the bus stop so helpful!

Beautiful property, onsen and bath facilities are great, rooms are dated (in the old wing) but clean and they have the best bedding. Such a superb experience.

Do not have high expectations. It is a remote location. It is a HOTEL, 100%. It has a shuttle to and from the train station. It was not avail when we arrived, and was able to catch an uber. The Onsen is only a series of hot tubs. There is no natural spring associated. We incurred about $200 in extra cost for taxes and fees. Also, because they are remote we had to eat at the hotel. If you do not like 100% Japanese food; I recommend make other arrangements. All meals are 100% Japanese and no substitutes. The room was clean, and a few of the attendants were actually helpful. However, no one went out of their way to answer questions or give direction. There were other (a group of 4) westerners present, and they voiced similar frustrations. The most helpful were the elderly. Oddly, the younger crowd seemed to detest our presence. We did go to the Rope Way. It was very foggy and didn’t see Mr. Fuji. The trip takes about an hour and a half to get to the top, from the hotel. We were able to schedule the shuttle for our return trip back to Yokohama.

This is a awesome onsen hotel. Highly recommend the room with private onsen. The view is so relaxing. I guess it will be more beautiful in autumn. All building and interior are beautifully designed. The food is delicious for both dinner and breakfast. Highly recommend the BBQ option for dinner. Free drink is provided during dinner with wine option. There are also free milk, ice cream available for you to enjoy after using the onsen.

Beautiful ryokan in Hakone hills

Great half board ryokan with public and private hot springs. The food was great although a little repetitive. Only comment is that the directions to the hotel were not correct and we ended up on a hillside. We had to call the hotel to have them come and get us. Road was impossible to climb. We had gotten off the bus too early but had followed directions accurately. Remainder of stay was great. We were close enough to catch a bus to Lake Ashinoko and see Mt Fuji. Beautiful area!

Very nice room. If you like Japanese food the Kiseki is outstanding. There are 3 private I send that are first come first serve but we were able to use them. Just have to be flexible and check in at different times. They also have a public onsen that is separated by gender. The dinner and breakfast was beyond everything but if you don’t like Japanese food this place might not be right for you.

Highly recommended traditional Japanese onsen

The property is a little bit away from the train station and up the hill, but shuttle is provided between 1 and 5 pm every day for pickup. We arrived later, and decided to walk despite being given the option to have them pick us up by request. Checkin was simple and straightforward, we were given instructions on paper and in English. The hotel is a little older, but meticulously maintained cleanliness made up for it. We stayed only one night, and were pleasantly surprised that “half-board” means dinner and breakfast included. The food was fantastic- high end Japanese several course meal. The room was large and Japanese futons comfortable. We had an outdoor tub on our balcony and enjoyed soaking in it the first evening. Hotel also has a public onsen with several private options that do not require reservations. You just need to check if the space is open. We took advantage of it the next morning as we were able to extend our stay for several hours. The onset tub is in the garden area with lots of greenery, and it was just magical to soak in it. There is coffee and tea self service in the lobby, but the tiny kitchen in the room also had everything needed for a cup of fresh ground and brewed coffee or tea. Overall, we enjoyed our brief visit and wished we had more time to spend in the area.

Incredible Relaxing Stay Mizunoto!

I absolutely loved my stay here!! As a disclaimer, this was my third onsen and first ryokan I visited, and I typically prefer new, glass-heavy hotels to ensure cleanliness of the facilities. Although I was initially hesitant booking Mizunoto due to the old-appearing pictures on their website, I ended up completely loving my entire experience!! The double room in the main building I booked was much bigger than I was expecting (even had a small entry area with a mirror and closet), and things were very clean and well kept! They had many free amenities that were a welcome surprise, including a free shuttle to and from Kowakidani Station, in room snacks, dispenser for coffee/tea, and milk/popsicles/yakult after baths, and even late night ramen. Their hospitality was second to none, and I felt so welcomed by the staff. Both dinner and breakfast are included, with multiple times available. The standout though were their onsens— between the three private baths and the 3-4 baths on each side in each building (they switch men and women sides so you get to experience ~7 public baths in each building), I spent hours in the many different onsens and felt so relaxed! I also received an incredible massage. In addition, the hotel had a great location, only a five minute walk from the buses, which can easily take you down to Lake Aishi, Gora area, and Open Air Museum (the time tables and google were quite reliable). The only thing I would change is about my stay was to stay longer!!
