Hakone Yuyado Zen

Clean and good location Service Private Onsen

The staff was very attentive and made extra little details into making our honeymoon special

Dining and bathing were very memorable. The onsen was a great experience and in addition to the good food, the dishware and glasses were high quality. We had a blessed day with clear skies and a solid view of Mt. Fuji.

No negatives about the property itself; only, the travel between Odawara to the hotel was a bit confusing. Would recommend travelers do extra research on transportation and set a meeting time with the hotel at the station of choice (e.g., bus or ropeway).

The nicest hotel we have ever stayed in - worth the money! Bath with hot springs on the balcony was wonderful, big enough with two people. We got the room with Fuji view and were lucky enough to get the clear skies during the whole weekend. There is free pick up from the bus stop/ropeway station so you don't need to come by car even though the location is a bit secluded. The dinner and breakfast were a separate experience - we don't love Japanese food but I must admit it was very cool.

Everything was perfect.

Zen in Hakone was a delight. A wonderful experience from start to finish. We arrived by bus from Hakone Yumoto station which was relatively easy. The hotel picked us up from the nearest bus station. Make sure you have call enabling on your phones. The hotel has a peaceful vibe as in it name and the room (Western Fuji view) was spacious and well equipped for our, sadly, one night stay. Dinning was an experience and elegantly presented. All staff were helpful and accommodating. Thank you Zen.

Lovely place and amazing staff! Food was unbelievably delicious and nutritious!! Wonderful stay.

We greatly enjoyed such an amazing and once-in-a-lifetime authentic Japanese experience here! All staff members, I.e. the shuttle bus drivers, receptionists, waiters and waitresses, were polite, friendly and professional. The rooms were well equipped, spotlessly cleaned, huge for Japanese standards, offering a nice private onsen and a beautiful view of Mount Fuji. The 8-course dinner and 7-course breakfast were well prepared, presented and served. We also liked the short walk to the private Lake Ashinoko lookout from the front of the hotel car park. We will come back and stay here again in the future.

It’s bit pricy. Thus, we couldn’t have stayed longer. Otherwise, everything was perfect.
