My stay at Ryokan Kiritani Hakoneso was delightful, with a beautifully designed room that combined traditional Japanese elegance and modern comfort. The meals were truly exceptional, offering a diverse range of authentic Japanese cuisine served in a private setting during breakfast and dinner.

Wonderful traditional meals

The beautiful setting and serene atmosphere were calming.

I was disappointed by the distance to public transport. Carrying my luggage uphill was a real struggle. The communication about meal times and details for allergies was unclear, leaving me frustrated during our stay.

The traditional meals offered were beautifully presented and exquisitely flavorful, while the serene private onsen provided a perfect escape after a day of exploring. The hotel's welcoming vibe made our stay truly enjoyable.

would recommend for a city trip

Cozy room, welcoming staff, the beautiful traditional meals offered a delightful course menu for both breakfast and dinner, and the convenient free transportation to and from the station made our stay effortless.

Room offered a comfortable stay with a blend of traditional design and modern amenities, fitting for at least four. The experience of dining was a highlight, with beautifully crafted and flavorful meals at both breakfast and dinner. The public onsen, while slightly small, provided a relaxing escape, though the private options were more spacious. However, the limited quantity in meals may not satisfy larger appetites, and the absence of some essential amenities led to minor inconveniences during the visit.

explore parks and landmarks from this charming hotel base

During my stay, I loved how close I was to stunning spots like the Hakone Museum of Art, just a short stroll away, and the serene Gora Park, perfect for a relaxing walk. plus, the gentle hot springs and delicious meals made my experience truly memorable.

The hot spring experience is soothing and gentle, perfect for relaxation. Meals are well-prepared and delicious, though not big enough for hearty eaters. However, the dining schedule was somewhat inflexible, and the rooms could use some updates, particularly the bathroom sink.

It was just a great match for a brief hiatus in Hakone with high value for money. The open-air bath was nice. I loved how relaxing the gentle hot spring was. Consider taking transport from the station to the hotel. the walk can be tough with luggage.

Sipping fresh orange juice while enjoying divine traditional meals was unbeatable! Plus, the private onsen was super relaxing after a full day. Our spacious room made it perfect for a cozy getaway.

However, the location isn’t ideal for the Hakone loop, as it’s away from the bus stops and we faced a backtrack for our luggage. The kaiseki meal didn’t quite impress and we had some communication issues regarding food allergies.
