Ichinoyu Honkan

We love the historic building, that it is right by the river and the sound of river is just so soothing. The staff here are all very friendly and nice. The food is excellent, we have both breakfast and dinner at this grand dinning hall that used to be the biggest meeting place for the town, the tree outside the window, the sound of water just transform this hotel into a movie set. will definitely come back again. There are so many varieties of food here, I am still mouth watering 3 weeks after my trip. The most unexpected part of this hotel stay is the train station near by, it has hydragea flower all over the station, it's magical , also there is a small shrine, every turn on the road back to the hotel is an adventure. Just love the feeling of walking in the wood and listen to the sound of water.

This was truly an amazing stay and easily one of the highlights of our trip to Japan. Located very close to the train station, it was super convenient to access on foot, which made our arrival smooth and stress-free. The room was incredible, with a beautiful view overlooking the river—falling asleep to the sound of the water was so calming. We even saw fireflies while relaxing in our private hot tub, which made for such a romantic and unforgettable evening. The food was by far the best we had during our trip. Every dish came in a perfect flow, and we were pleasantly surprised to find out that free drinks were included! The staff were also fantastic—friendly, attentive, and even catered to our request for one meal to be seafood-free without any issues. There’s also a lovely souvenir shop by reception with lots to choose from. Out of all the places I researched in Hakone, this one offered some of the best value for money. The quality of the experience far exceeded our expectations, and I’m so happy we chose to stay here. It’s perfect for couples, but also great for families—they even offer private family baths for rent. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone visiting the area.

The history of the place. The room was very large as we came from Tokyo. The view was pretty and I wanted my son to experience what it was like in a traditional Ryokan stay. The rooms are equipped with modern air cons that serve as heaters which kept the room cosy when we were awake. The full board meals are huge. Particularly for dinner and we could never finish what was served. We stayed for 3 nights.

Location on the river was amazing. Our traditional Japanese room was spacious and view on the river was gorgeous. Very close to the bus stop to Togendai and to Odawara. Special shout out to the food!!!!! The half board option highly recommended if you want to try (lot of) Japanese traditional cuisine

The place was strategically located near the bus stop and the train station. We had a beatiful room facing the river. The room is spacious, clean and well equipped with a mini fridge, safety box and hot water thermos dispenser, yukatas. There were oranges and hot water prepared when we arrived. I like that the washroom is clean. Also the private onsen for family members was great. I like the scheduled dinner and breakfast, everything was prepped when we arrived. Great customer service. Lots of food and all you can drink. I love how charming this old traditional ryokan. It is a very nice gem and well maintained. Especially, the Tonosawa train station near the ryokan. It’s super cute and hidden, with the red train and rustic surrounding, it will take you back in time. Book your stay here. They also have rooms with private onsen.
