Ashigarashimo District Hotels with Wifi

"This is a very spacious onsen ryokan with a kids' book corner and a manga nook. The private onsen baths are free of charge, making it perfect for family trips, though they are quite popular and require a queue. There are complimentary afternoon refreshments and late-night snacks. The courtyard features a bonfire and foot bath. From check-in in the afternoon, there are always facilities to use, and it never feels too crowded, even on weekends, as the space is very well-arranged and comfortable. The hotel is conveniently located right next to Gora Station, making it easy to get around by bus or train. The staff are very friendly, and snacks are constantly replenished, so you don't have to worry about missing out if you arrive late. After a hot spring bath, there's milk and popsicles available. The 24-hour self-service beverage bar also has hot water and hot tea, so those who prefer warm water are covered. The only downside is the lack of a full-length mirror in the room, which is a bit of a pity."

"Our stay at the hotel was overall excellent, and we would still highly recommend it, especially for couples looking for a pleasant getaway. Almost everything was perfect—the room was clean and comfortable, the facilities were great, and every other staff member we encountered was polite and helpful. It’s truly a lovely place to spend time together. However, our check-in experience was noticeably unpleasant due to one staff member. She came across as unwelcoming and impatient, almost as if we were bothering her. She rushed through the process and felt quite pushy, especially when repeatedly questioning which language we preferred—even though we tried communicating in both Japanese and English. Her attitude made us feel uncomfortable and somewhat unwanted at first. Aside from this one incident, everything else was wonderful. We hope the hotel addresses such front-desk service issues so that future guests can enjoy a consistently welcoming experience from start to finish."

"Great experience. The staff were lovely and the area is beautiful. Rooms are very homely and comfy. We went into the onsen both nights and it was great. We also got dinner both nights at the hotel and the food was good we were impressed. Overall it felt like a very personal stay and couldn't be happier. For some of the logistics if you are wanting to do the hakone main loop. We recommend coming in from Shinjuku on the romance car, take the montain train up to Gora and then the cable car to Sounzan. We then took a roughly 10min bus from Sounzan to Yuyu. The next morning we then took the same bus back to Sounzan and caught the first 9am ropeway fo start off the loop. We managed to avoid most of the crowds and it was very convenient. Once again couldn't recommend Yuyu enough thank you for the great stay!!"

"I originally planned to stay one night in Hakone, but after checking some guides, I realized there were so many attractions. So, I decided to book an extra night. Apparently, booking two separate nights doesn't guarantee you the same room. The front desk lady spent quite a while checking her computer to arrange a single room for me. Next time, I'll remember to book both nights at once. It might have been because of the Chinese New Year period when there are lots of guests checking in. Hakone is perfect for a one-night, two-meal stay. Since the attractions in Hakone are spread out, it's best to spend the day fully immersing yourself in sightseeing. If you get hungry at lunchtime, just grab some snacks to save time, and then enjoy the hot springs and buffet at the hotel in the morning and evening. The rooftop hot spring might use regular hot water, but it wasn't too crowded, and they had some toiletries and skincare products, so I just decided to wash up there instead of in my room."

"We loved this experience! After travelling from Tokyo that morning and all around Hakone, we were wrecked by the time we got to the accommodation. The hosts offer free collection from the bottom of the cable car. We text them saying we would be arriving in 10 minutes and they had someone waiting for us. The check in was smooth and the hosts are very accommodating, have good English and will do anything they can to help you. We had a room with a Mt. Fuji view who was on show for a few hours. They then brought us in a shuttle to a nearby restaurant and the restaurant brought us back to the accommodation. The accom was very big for the two of us and we found the beds really comfy. We also got private onsen for 30 mins (available between 10-11pm) for only 2,000 yen. In the morning, they dropped us back (again free) to our bus stop. We loved this whole experience and calm back feeling relaxed and revived. Couldn’t recommend more!"

"Really nice room with good views over the railway and hills. Great breakfast and dinner, which changed day to day for our two day stay. Didn't use the public baths, but the bath on our balcony and private baths were great. A bit hit and miss as to whether you get a chance to use the private baths as there is no booking system (not a criticism, it just might take a few attempts/waiting to get a bath). Free snacks and late night ramen were great as well."

"This hotel is quite unique! Because it's built on a hillside, its first floor connects to the fifth floor of a neighboring shopping mall, while its main lobby is on its own fifth floor. The higher floors offer even better views. The lobby entrance faces directly onto the mountains, providing stunning scenery, and the foot bath by the entrance is wonderfully therapeutic. Both large onsen pools have outdoor sections with fantastic views. They are fully equipped with jacuzzis, saunas, cold plunge pools, and massage areas, making for a truly satisfying hot spring experience! Both breakfast and dinner are buffet-style and taste excellent. Additionally, the hotel offers a wide range of complimentary activities. I highly recommend the Mori no Yu onsen facility that partners with the hotel; it has numerous hot springs with diverse styles, and the bathing experience there is even better than at the hotel itself. This was an absolutely perfect onsen experience and well worth it."

"First, a heads-up to anyone visiting this hotel: it's located in the Hakone mountains. If you're not driving, please, please be very careful not to get off the train in the wrong direction! We came down from Owakudani by train and got off at Naka-Gora. Both train doors opened when it arrived, and we exited through the left door. Little did we know, we were in for a world of trouble – I won't go into the dramatic details. After quite an adventure, we finally reached the hotel only to find out that if we had exited from the right side, it would have been just a few minutes' walk away. So, a word of caution: if you're coming down by train from the Owakudani direction, always exit on the right side! This was the most expensive hotel we booked during our trip to Japan. There were almost no shops nearby. We had pre-ordered dinner, which was a bit like sukiyaki. The hotel prepared all the washed ingredients and utensils for us. After dinner, we cleaned everything and placed it in a large basket, which we left outside our room door the next morning. Dinner was pretty good! However, to buy breakfast for the next day, we spent over half an hour walking up and down hills just to find a convenience store. I regretted not having bought breakfast in Hakone beforehand. The hot springs are separate for men and women. It gets dark early in the evening, so we couldn't see the scenery outside the onsen. The next morning, we saw the green landscape outside the window. The Japanese-style tatami room could accommodate six people and even had a kitchen. It was very spacious for the three of us. The hallway of our room offered beautiful mountain views, perfect for watching the sunrise. The view from inside the room was also very nice. The hotel is close to Gora Park, about a ten-minute walk, and not far from the Hakone Museum of Art."

"Nice traditional Ryokan. The staff was mostly non-Japanese so did not feel super authentic. Rooms were large and nice, but location of Ryokan is 25min drive from the main train station, which made exploring a little more trouble some. The staff were generally friendly, but extremely inflexible, which I suppose one would need to expect in Japan. But given the front desk staff was not even Japanese we found this to be a little frustrating at times."

"The hotel was new and clean. We had a room with a view towards the mountain. To reach there you can walk or take a bus. Near Souzan station, which I think it is ideal if you plan to stay overnight because you can continue the journey through the ropeway. There is no actual reception, the reception is done within the restaurant. If you want breakfast at the place, please contact the hotel before arriving because the rest of the areas nearby start quite late after 9am. Also, the hotel may not have dinner, need to check with Hotel before booking. Made a mistake of not checking and had to order Food delivery which was not very nice. But the staff there are friendly and nice. Overall, I enjoyed my stay and may decide to stay there again next time "
