Yumoto Historic Hotel

"Stayed here with two school-age children. We chose to stay in a traditional room with kaiseki dining. Both kids are very good eaters but even for the adults some of the food was very new. However, everything was carefully prepared and presented beautifully. The staff were very friendly, and several staff members were fluent in English. Still, I would recommend brushing up on your Japanese or using Google Translate for clear communication. Tub times were easy to reserve, but free time tubs often required waiting 15 min to 1 hour. We made the mistake of checking back every 10-15 minutes to see if one particular tub was free. After waiting an hour another guest arrived and took the tub even though they had only been waiting 2 minutes. So, you must stay right there! The location of the hotel is not walkable as the roads are steep with limited space for pedestrians. However, there is a minivan that can drop you off and pick you up from the bus station or nearby train station with ease. So, it’s no problem. Overall, the property was beautiful, clean, and very relaxing, and the staff were all very kind and helpful. Would definitely recommend if you would like an authentic Japanese ryokan and onsen experience. "

"Wonderful stay with great traditional Japanese experience "

"We arrived to Hyatt regency hakone and were immediately escorted in and were told they were waiting for us. From that moment on, it was nothing but first class treatment from the entire staff. It was an incredible experience and the staff experience alone should make people run here in droves!! It sadly rained (4.5 inches in one day alone) while we were there but the staff was always helpful with information, alternative advice, and wonderful smiles. Would definitely recommend as they went above and beyond. "

"The property was very conveniently located in Hakone and very close to train station. The room was very large even compared to room in the US. The staff were friendly. "
