The entrance is right in front of Gora Station, so transportation wouldn't be an issue. Plenty of shops and places to eat around the station, but they close pretty early. The front desk staff can speak English and explained everything clearly, from the type of onsen, the bathing hours, meals, and how to get to our rooms (it was in a separate building). The onsen are great, the outdoor private bathtub is great, but the water cools off pretty quickly in winter. The room is very spacious and they also provide an extra futon. I could do a bit of work comfortably in the rooms while resting. They have a bunch of amenities at the lobby, you could make tea, coffee, get some ice cream and bring them to your rooms. The breakfast and dinner were very delicious. You need reservations for meals since the seats are limited.

Staying for one night with two meals for 2700 yen offered excellent value for money. The open-air bath on the balcony is not a hot spring; it's just hot water. There's one public hot spring and three private hot springs in the garden, which are the real deal. On the first day, I didn't realize our balcony bath was just hot water until I specifically asked the front desk and found out only the first and second-floor rooms have hot springs. For the next two days, I made sure to try all the actual hot springs, public and private, and experienced the beautiful scenery of soaking in a hot spring surrounded by snow. All the hotel staff were attentive and meticulous, and their English was good. The shuttle bus goes to Kowakidani train station, not the bus stop, so make sure not to get on the wrong one. Hope this helps!

A must stay if you are visiting Hakone! It's a 15 minute walk away from Hakone Yumoto station, or you can pay 200 yen to take the shuttle bus there. You can deliver your luggages there using the baggage service at the train station (for a fee). Place is clean and best of all, there's so many perks staying here. Firstly, there's free private onsen (subject to first come first serve). Secondly, dinner and breakfast are provided. Just need to select your preferred timeslot and head to the restaurant then. Food was delicious, and serving was generous as well. They also serve free ramen at 10.30pm, although it was just a simple bowl of noodles. There's also free drinks provided at L1 and L3, and some free snacks as well at the hotel lobby.

Service: The service was excellent. When checking in, they explained all the important details about the hot spring, the room, and the brunch. 
Food: We had the half-board option (dinner and breakfast), and the food was delicious – highly recommended! There was also free ramen for a late-night snack, plus a self-service snack area with a beverage machine, beer, and small treats.
Environment: Clean, comfortable, and well-maintained.
Overall, if I go to Hakone again, I'll definitely stay here!

🇱🇦The hotel has a traditional Japanese atmosphere, which made our stay feel very authentic. The location is excellent, right next to the train and bus stations, and within easy walking distance to Takayama Old Town, making it extremely convenient. The only minor downside was that the room we booked was a bit small, but it was very clean and well maintained. Overall, we had a very pleasant stay.

Just had an amazing time in this ryokan with a friend. The public bathroom in the open air - incredible, big, and also a lot of steam, along with the lighting of the lanterns, gives an incredible onsen-vibe! (But it was closed for cleaning at midnight, and not at one in the morning, as written in the brochure). There is also a sauna with a cold bath. After onsen, you can drink milk for free or eat ice cream from frozen juice. There is a separate paid lounge with unlimited beer, wine and whiskey. Private bathrooms are not bad, but not like public ones, plus they were constantly occupied by couples. The bath in the room itself is also not bad, but if you are tall, there may be problems with where to put your feet x) Dinner and breakfast were amazingly tasty. I especially liked the space on the street by the fire, where you can fry marshmallows or just sit after onsen to cool off with a strong drink) During the day we ride to Kamikochi, also a fantastic place)

I stayed two nights in Hirayu Onsen, and compared to the first night's accommodation across the street, I much preferred Hirayukan on the second night. Both dinner and breakfast were buffet style, with a great variety of options, including DIY sukiyaki and roasted beef. The window seats offered amazing views! There was also free ramen available after 10 PM. The lobby had a convenience store where you could get a 20% discount. The hot springs were fantastic, especially the outdoor baths. The only downside was that it was a bit crowded, probably because we happened to encounter a tour group.

Overall, Kizunoniwa is definitely better than Konoha. Dinner was a delicious Japanese meal served in a private dining room, and breakfast was also good. My only minor complaint was that the rice wasn't quite up to Japanese standards.

The location is quite far out. If you're heading to Ueno Station in the city, leaving the hotel at 9 AM and having a smooth journey, you'd likely arrive around 1 PM. The hotel shuttle takes ten minutes to the bus stop, then it's an hour and a half by bus to Karuizawa, and another hour-plus from Karuizawa to Ueno. The main delays are due to waiting for various connection times.

It snowed on our second day, which was truly beautiful.

I'd love to come back during autumn leaf season if possible.

The hotel's free shuttle service was fantastic! While not located directly in the hot spring town, the convenient minibus shuttle service for transfers was a huge plus. Dinner was great, with a good selection of beverages. Breakfast was also excellent! The hot springs are shared with the adjacent hotel, and my family thoroughly enjoyed the soak. Excellent value for money!

A relax and nice view in Kusatsu. The hotel is located a bit far from bus terminal. However, there is a free shuttle bus service which connected with bus service. 

I strongly encourage the private onsen package where we can taste three different type of onsen in the hotel.

My platinum ring changed colour, may be due to the acidity of onsen water😂.

The dinner and breakfast inspired and it is good for family trip with a number of accessible service for elderly with physically limitations.
