Mitake

The atmosphere is perfect

The onsen

The traditional rooms and the onsens were amazing!

The inn is getting very tired, particularly the floors.

It was a spacious room with a private toilet and a very cute inn.

The onsen did not look like the pictures and the lights in the private one did not turn on. Also, the communication at the beginning was confusing as no one was there to take our luggage.

First off: location is great, do the Hakone free pass, as soon as you get into Hakone yumoto go to gora, then ropeway,cablecar, eat a black egg from the top of the mountain (smell the Sulfur) and then go down in cablecar to lake aishi (do not have big lunch!!!!!) from lake aishi see the pirate shit but don’t take it, take instead the buss that will drop you in front of mitake, check in, there are 2 cats to pet, your room is classic and old style and your massive dinner will come at 5:30 and then eat at 6 in your own room, later you can enjoy your private onsen, is another world experience(sacrifice? You are getting the best value per money, but the ryokan needs a bit of love in the cleaning and improvement of small details here and there, maybe the food wasn’t hot enough) but the staff lovely again great location value for money considering others prices and location, next morning they will wake you up at 7 with your room set breakfast and after you are ready (check out at 10) from there take the same bus that got you there but in the oposite direction to lake ashi, now take the pirate shit and head to the other cost, you can walk to Hakone shrine if you lake explore the area and after that head to Hakone yumoto station or odawara depending if you taking romance car, or normal train. Good luck

Great food, ambiance and service! The private onsen was good and spacious enough for 2 people. The amenities are also great. Was not able to do the hakone loop due to bad weather but the Ryokan made the trip worth it. Will definitely come back soon

It would be great if there was a heater in the room because it gets really cold during the cold weather.

The room is charming. Live with kimono is cool. Onsen is nice. Even with share bathroom we have our own WC and wash basin. The cats are lovely. The dinner and breakfast are ok. There is option around on foot nearby as well. Dinner is preferred than breakfast
