I was very satisfied with both the onsen and the room. However, regarding the meals, it would be appreciated if there could be more flexible arrangements, such as delivering the food to the room later, in cases of illness or lack of appetite. I understand there may be management issues, but I think it would have been even better if I could have eaten at my own pace in my room later, even if the food had cooled down, rather than having hot food served as is. The option to have warm dishes served immediately is nice, but having the choice to eat in the room at my own timing would have been preferable.

I had previously stayed in Sengokuhara and had always wanted to try staying in Tonosawa. When I found a good plan this time, I decided to book it. The room was simple but the natural wooden flooring was very pleasant. The open-air onsen was especially wonderful, with excellent onsen quality and temperature. I was very satisfied and took five baths, the most I’ve ever had. The only downside was that the room’s refrigerator didn’t keep the beer very cold, which was a bit disappointing. The meals, both dinner and breakfast, made good use of local ingredients and were very satisfying in terms of quantity, quality, and taste. The staff’s response, from those who welcomed us outside in the sweltering heat to the front desk, guest rooms, and dining areas, was outstanding, making our stay very pleasant. I would love to stay here again if the opportunity arises. Thank you very much.

We utilized the facilities for my girl friend's birthday and requested various things such as a bouquet, room decorations, and bringing in a cake. Everything was arranged beautifully, and even though we hadn’t requested it in advance, a birthday plate was prepared for the dessert during dinner. She was delighted with everything, and it made for a wonderful experience for me as well. We are deeply grateful for everything.

Above all, the warm and caring service truly made us feel at ease.

This was, by far, the best place we’ve stayed at and felt most grateful for our experience. Thank you very much.

Having enjoyed a stay in Sengokuhara previously, I decided to try staying at Tonosawa this time. The experience was filled with delightful events that kept us excited throughout, such as welcome drinks and sweets, free-flowing beverages in the lounge, sparklers, goldfish scooping, and summer-themed ramune service.

During this stay, as I was pregnant, the hotel provided a body pillow in the room, non-caffeinated tea bags, and accommodated my dietary needs by avoiding raw foods. These thoughtful services truly exemplified the luxury of this accommodation.

Even at checkout, they offered drinks after check-in, allowing us to prepare for our departure at a relaxed pace. Unlike other inns where you might feel an unspoken urge to leave quickly, this inn consistently showed care for its guests until the very end.

What touched me the most was receiving a good luck charm from Hakone Shrine for a safe delivery, with a heartfelt message wishing for a healthy baby. I was genuinely moved by this gesture.

I will definitely return! Thank you very much for everything.

Considering the cost of the stay, I was extremely satisfied. Although there is no large public onsen, the onsen in the room was more than adequate. The kaiseki cuisine was very delicious. At Kinnotake, you can enjoy unlimited beer, coffee, and tea at the lounge, which you can take back to your room. The service was also excellent. I have stayed at various ryokans in Hakone, and this was a place I would like to return to.

I had visited Sengokuhara in the past, but this time I stayed at Tonosawa for the first time. Excitement began at the entrance of the suspension bridge. We received a warm welcome. The room was Take which we had requested the second floor when booking. Looking out from the window, bamboo was everywhere, creating a spacious and bright atmosphere with a sense of openness. The spacious terrace open-air onsen in the room was also fantastic. On the day of arrival, I learned from word of mouth or someone's blog that there was no TV in the room. However, upon entering the room, my thoughts quickly changed. I decided to fully enjoy the room, onsen, and view! I listened to jazz and enjoyed a time far removed from everyday noise.

The meals were meticulously prepared, visually appealing, and extremely delicious. We ordered several specialty dishes such as butter-grilled abalone, but I was so full that I ended up leaving the final cooked rice... Even without additional dishes, the portion size was satisfying. The abalone was small but very tender and delicious. Moving to the bar, I sampled five types of desserts while enjoying the luxurious atmosphere with bamboo lit up around me.

For breakfast, there was a choice of Japanese and Western dishes, both of which were excellent in terms of content and volume.

The room amenities, drinks in the refrigerator, and coffee were well-stocked, making me want to enjoy more room time even during consecutive stays. The staff's hospitality was warm with friendly conversations and smiles, making everyone wonderful.

It was my first visit, but I would love to visit again and recommend this inn to others. Thank you very much for your warm hospitality, allowing us to relax and enjoy ourselves.

We stayed here for my girlfriend's birthday. As the title suggests, the room was designed to provide an extraordinary experience, and the private open-air onsen in the room was fantastic.

After a busy period, I took time off before the long weekend and decided to indulge in onsen retreat with the books I had been wanting to read. It wasn't for sightseeing; I wanted easy access from home and a quiet environment.

Despite the rainy weather, I was able to enjoy the leisurely time I had hoped for. The staff were pleasant, and I appreciated the richness of living without television. The reading light provided made it comfortable for me. If I had one request, it would be for the lighting in the washroom area to be brighter; it was a bit dim for doing makeup. Though, spending time in my natural state was also quite nice.

My stay here was the highlight of our trip. We were greeted the moment we arrived and we were treated like we were their only guests. Absolutely first class level of service that is impressive especially in a country like Japan where high levels of service are the norm. I wish I could remember the names of the staff, but Mr. Yoshizaki was very pleasant while he helped us with breakfast.
The rooms are spacious and comfortable. It is clean, with modern amenities and the refrigerator was stocked with drinks that made our stay comfortable. The view from our room, facing the bamboo forest is something that I will remember for the rest of my life.
I highly recommend this ryokan for anyone who wants to experience a peaceful, quiet stay in one of the most beautiful places in the Hakone area.

Discreetly located across a suspension bridge in its own little oasis is a welcoming 20+ room lodge featuring some of the best food around. There are more modern places yet the warmth of the wood decor and the flawless customer service put this one on tops of my book. They are working on the public access onsen but for now the private one in the room is just fine. Plus the food!!! And a great selection of older Burgundies for any wine lovers out there.

It was a long-awaited return, and it was truly exceptional. The hospitality was excellent with everyone being friendly and attentive, and we were rejuvenated by the smooth quality of onsen. The meals were inventive and unique; my mother and I were deeply moved.

We chose this ryokan for a mother-daughter trip as my daughter's birthday was approaching. Once again, we were deeply moved by the attentive care of the staff. The new staff member who served us on the first night spoke excellent Japanese and enthusiastically explained the dishes, and their lovely smile made our time enjoyable. The meals were delicious both days, with a noticeable change on the second day. The seared beef sushi, added at my daughter's request, melted in her mouth just as she hoped. We made multiple trips between the princess beds and onsen... My daughter loves this spa. Thanks to you, she feels refreshed and ready to tackle her work.

It was the perfect birthday celebration. Thank you so much to all the staff. Next time, we'll stay in the room with the stone onsen.

For the second year in a row, we stayed here. My wife is pregnant, and we were grateful for the various accommodations made, such as adjusting meals and preparing cushioned rooms and decaffeinated coffee after discussing our needs in advance.

Additionally, we were thankful for the opportunity to receive a prayer for safe childbirth at Hakone Shrine before departing. The only disappointment was that the public onsen was under construction, but we heard that a large onsen, gym, and pool will be available in summer, which makes us want to stay again.

This was our last onsen trip before our child is born, and it was very healing. Thank you very much.

Another great pleasure is the beautifully presented and delicious meals. We always find ourselves discussing when we’ll visit next, even on the drive home.

My husband and I had been talking about staying here someday and were really looking forward to it. As a result, our stay was highly satisfying, from the room, onsen, meals, to the staff's hospitality. Being pregnant, we had informed them about dietary restrictions beforehand, which they confirmed again upon check-in. Additionally, the room had a maternity pillow, which helped me maintain a comfortable posture. I also appreciated their thoughtfulness, such as providing cushions for back support during meals. While it may be a while before we can stay again, we definitely hope to visit in the future. Thank you very much.

During our search for a place to stay with hot springs and fireflies as our main criteria, we happened to receive a direct mail from Kinnotake Tonosawa, which offered us a special plan for our accommodation. We were able to choose our room and opted for Room 107, which was recommended by the staff, and our stay was fantastic, especially the room's private bath. It had a large tub (big enough for 4-5 people, so it felt a bit empty with just the two of us!), and we could adjust the temperature ourselves.

However, we were disappointed to learn that the communal bath was closed for renovations and being converted into a pool. As for the meals, we were so full from lunch that we felt bad for leaving some food uneaten at dinner. But we made up for it by thoroughly enjoying breakfast. We both ordered Western-style meals, and my wife couldn't resist asking for seconds of bread, while I found myself asking for an extra serving of soup. My wife even mentioned how delicious the sausages were and wished she could have had more!

One of the purposes of our visit was to see fireflies, and we were delighted to be able to go out after dinner to observe them. Although it seemed a bit early for fireflies at the inn's "Hotaru no Kawadoko" due to the altitude, we were able to see them at the Hakone Yumoto "Hotaru Park" after driving down.

The staff, who were mostly young, provided excellent service and promptly attended to our requests, including setting up the television as we had asked beforehand. We've stayed at various inns as we love traveling, and although we've encountered high-end inns with poor service and food, Kinnotake Tonosawa was a rare gem that exceeded our expectations in a good way. We'd love to visit again in a different season.

We're also looking forward to visiting Kinnotake Sengokuhara, as it's part of the same group. To everyone reading this, we highly recommend visiting Kinnotake Tonosawa. It's a recommended inn in Hakone.

Lastly, to all the staff at Kinnotake Tonosawa, thank you so much for your hospitality. As we enter the rainy season and approach summer, please take care of yourselves and your health.

We booked 3 rooms. Everything was perfect and the service was top-notch.

If I had to nitpick, one issue was that certain services were offered to one of the rooms but not the others (eg TV, pyjamas). I wonder why there was a difference in amenities offered when we all paid the same amount per person.

Unfortunately this ryokan is under construction, which creates a very unpleasant experience & ruins the tranquility. It’s beautiful and the staff was great. Food was solid. But the construction ruined the experience. It really should be closed while construction is taking place.

It's my favorite in Hakone. The pleasant hospitality and conversation of the staff brimming with smiles, delicious meals, and baths are healing in themselves. It's become a rule in our household to only stay at Kinnotake when in Hakone. Recently, it's unfortunate that there have been times when only hot water comes out due to the poor adjustment of hot water and water in the room. Please, I ask for fundamental improvements. It's a favorite enough to forgive with a smile for minor troubles!

My wife and I recently had the pleasure of staying at this exquisite ryokan, and it was nothing short of an extraordinary experience. From the moment we arrived, we were enveloped in a sense of calm and luxury that made our stay truly special.

The service was impeccable. The staff were attentive, courteous, and went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. From the warm welcome to the thoughtful gestures throughout our stay, we felt incredibly well cared for. Every request was met with a smile and prompt attention, making us feel like honored guests.

The culinary experience was a highlight of our stay. Each meal was a masterpiece, showcasing the finest seasonal ingredients and traditional Japanese flavors. The dinner was a journey through exquisite tastes and beautiful presentation, and the Japanese style breakfast was equally delightful, offering a perfect start to our day. The care and skill that went into each dish were evident and deeply appreciated.

Our room was spacious, impeccably clean, and thoughtfully designed with a perfect blend of traditional aesthetics and modern comfort. The beds added to the authentic atmosphere, while the amenities provided every convenience we could ask for. It was a serene and inviting space where we could relax and unwind completely.

The open-air onsen was a blissful retreat. Surrounded by nature, soaking in the hot spring water under the open sky was a magical experience. The water was soothing, and the setting was tranquil, providing the perfect environment for relaxation and rejuvenation. We spent hours enjoying the onsen, feeling our stresses melt away.

Our stay at this ryokan was truly special and unforgettable. Every aspect of our visit exceeded our expectations, from the exceptional service and exquisite food to the warm hospitality, spacious room, and fantastic onsen. It was the perfect getaway for my wife and me, and we left feeling refreshed, pampered, and deeply grateful for the experience. We highly recommend this ryokan to anyone seeking a luxurious and authentic Japanese stay. We can't wait to return!

Kinnotake Tonosawa is one of those special Ryokans. From the moment I drove up to the driveway to be greeted and on my way out was one of the small little details of being welcomed.

The room was exceptionally large with everything you need to relax in different parts of the room. The private onsen was big enough for me a 6 foot person and definitely can fit another partner in it.

The food for dinner was exceptional and I could not fault any of it, all of it tasted so good and I was well truly satisfied at the end. I got the Black wagyu beef fillet which was up there as one of the best wagyu. It wasn’t too fatty which made it easier to eat and not too rich.

My server for dinner Ishikawa was lovely and provided amazing service throughout. They even gave me a semi private booth for a solo traveller which I really appreciated, thank you.

Overall, for a solo traveller this experience is something everyone should try if your solo or a couple. All of the staff did a great job at making me feel welcome and will definitely recommend this Ryokan to my friends.

The food was phenomenal and the rooms were very spacious with lots of in-room amenities such as complementary beverages, skin care, robes and yukata. The lounge was so peaceful and staff went above and beyond to make us comfortable and happy. We upgraded to teppanyaki for one night and it was one of the best meals we had in Japan. We felt like we could stay here a whole week. We would like to thank Chef Yohei, Kokubo-san, Sei-san and all of the staff for their hospitality.

My partner and I stayed for 3 nights and we had an outstanding experience. Coming from 10 days in Tokyo, this was the perfect way to rest and relax in our private onsen surrounded by beautiful nature and bamboo groves. The room was very spacious and serene, it had a large bed, comfortable lounging area, kitchenette, and several amenities included. We enjoyed the daily kaiseki breakfast and dinner, the cocktail bar, and the teppanyaki just up the street. We can't say enough great things about the hospitality by all the staff, the level of service, and everything that came with it. This is probably one of the nicest hotels we've ever stayed at. Arigato gozaimasu!

The setting is beautiful and quite peaceful, however, there is no public onsen and the beds in the room are of very poor quality, for the price charged at Kinnotake, we expected much higher quality beds.

At this price, we do expect much more of the beds and the hotel facilities (public onsen, gym etc).

However, we had a difficult time getting a taxi on the way back, and when we went to the bus stop in the rain, we were refused service, so we couldn't catch the train we wanted.

During the cherry blossom season, I stayed for an early birthday celebration (the blooming forecast was spot on!). This marks my third visit. The meals have improved in both seasoning and ingredients since my first stay, providing a satisfying experience. For elderly guests, quality over quantity is appreciated. One suggestion is regarding the "sakura shrimp tempura," a personal favorite. Since a small amount suffices, perhaps serving it with "udon" or "soba" noodles as an accompaniment would improve its palatability...? Another concern is regarding bed height, which I mentioned in a previous survey. The height is a bit awkward and poses difficulty for elderly individuals (with weak legs or back) to get up. Is there a solution...? This time, the water temperature was just right, and the staff's pleasant demeanor contributed to a satisfying stay. Thank you!

We were so impressed and delighted by our time here. I have never felt so well taken care of at any establishment in my life compared to Kinnotake Tonosawa. Me and my fiance were always well cared for by every member of the staff (even compared to the hospitality we had experienced so far in Japan) and felt that every interaction was genuine. Yuta-san in particular was so kind and attentive. From being greeted outside the ryokan to checkout, we felt so well taken care of in every moment. They offered to coordinate sending our luggage to the closest station so we didn't have to lug it around while checking out the rest of Hakone on checkout day, and also gave a complimentary ride down to the station which was highly appreciated!
Our room was so spacious, beautifully designed and stocked with so many complimentary amenities and a minifridge. The private onset bath was like out of a movie - with the bamboo in the background and being able to adjust the temperature. I am a bit of a germaphobe but the wooden bath was extremely clean and well maintained.
We also got the kaiseki dinner and traditional Japanese breakfast. Highly highly recommend getting these options as they were delicious and healthy. I felt that the meals could've easily been served at a Michelin star restaurant.
We stayed here at the end of a 2 week trip in Japan and felt that it was the perfect last night in Japan as we got to rest our tired legs and feet. Highly highly recommend this place, I was looking at other options that were less costly but am 100% confident that this luxury experience was totally worth it. If we visit Japan again I would definitely consider staying here again.

When we told a friend about our trip to Japan for our honeymoon she couldn't have recommended Kinnotake Tonosawa high enough and we are so glad we took her recommendation. We had high expectations and it surpassed all of them! The service was incredible and felt so personal, our food was the best of our trip (especially the teppanyaki dinner), and we were able to truly relax after a few hectic days in Tokyo. Our only downside was that we wished we had booked more than one night! I was a bit nervous before leaving that it would be hard to get to, but it ended up being even easier than I expected via public transportation. We already want to come back and if you're thinking about staying, I would book right now!!
