"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 – A Truly Unforgettable Ryokan Experience Our stay at Hakone Kowakien Mikawaya Ryokan was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. The atmosphere perfectly captured the charm of a traditional Japanese inn — peaceful, elegant, and deeply relaxing. The kaiseki dinner and Japanese breakfast were both incredible — beautifully presented, full of flavor, and a true highlight of our trip. Each dish felt thoughtfully prepared with seasonal ingredients and artistic presentation. We enjoyed both the private onsen and the public baths, which were immaculate and soothing with the surrounding nature views. The private bath experience was especially special — serene, quiet, and rejuvenating after a long day of exploring Hakone. The staff were kind, attentive, and made us feel truly welcome. Every detail, from the check-in to the evening yukata service, reflected genuine hospitality and care. If you’re looking for an authentic ryokan stay that combines comfort, tradition, and incredible cuisine, Hakone Kowakien Mikawaya Ryokan is perfect. We can’t recommend it enough — it’s an experience we’ll always remember. "

"Great hotel with a very nice view, the staff is really nice. The beds are a little stiff but that is very general in Japan. "

"This was the best place we stayed on our trip. Such a great experience! We loved the staff. We forgot a bag in our room and they arranged it to be shipped to our next hotel! What great service. I hope I am lucky enough to come back and stay at Ryuguden! "

"This was a great location to stay. The amenities were fantastic and we got lucky and were able to see Fuji-san on our last day. Great private onsen inside the room and wonderful views. Would highly recommend. "

"Wish we had arrived earlier in the day to explore around the lake."

"Unmatched location, all rooms look over the stunning 1930’s garden and magnificent mountains and lake, no bad views! The hotel exudes old world charm, and while some may find this ‘dated’ we found it delightful. The Franco-Japanese -Deco blend carries through to cuisine and 2 fantastic restaurants (though not for the budget conscious). A truly unique and memorable stay. Would come back in a heart beat. "

"I loved my stay here! The food was not our thing but it was very cool to have a traditional Japanese meal, we just didn’t eat much of it because it if very different than what we are used to "
