Shirayunoyado Yamadaya Hakone Gora Reviews

the room it self was not very clean and was also damaged/In need of repairs as there was bit of the doors broken and walls as well as the "hot spring" area was very damaged and when you stepped on the planks of wood on one side it lifted and moved on a positive note though the staff were very hospitable and did there best and the meals were presented beautifully they also tried there best to help and tried to speak English as well (I also tried to speak in Japanese tho I am not very good yet)

Me and my friend enjoyed our stay at this hotel a lot.

Wonderful traditional hotel with amaizing breakfasts and dinners. We stayed for two nights, so we had two breakfasts and two dinners. Every time it was different and delicious. Hotel has two common bath and one private (not in your room). Want to say THANK YOU VERY MUCH to hotel's staff for our vacation.

I booked a room in Japanese style. I got a room, dinner with breakfast, and a hot bath, not to mention a lot of pleasant impressions. In the evening, after a hot bath, sipping umesu on the balcony with a view of the night mountains and lights is a pleasure! It was very warm in the room - the air conditioner was working for heating. I had to turn it off and open the window - I can't sleep in the stuffiness. I had two baths at my service: one from 7 pm to 7 am, the other from 7 am to 7 pm. I visited both, in the second I was unpleasantly surprised by the suspension in the common bath - suddenly dirt with other people's hair rose up, I had to make hot baths right away, where you lie alone, in the open air. This is a great pleasure! And in just one bath there are two such baths, i.e. there will be no crowd around, although, perhaps, you will have to wait for one of them to become free. The hotel employee quickly brought dinner/breakfast while I was in the onsen, cleaned everything and made the bed (futon). The only thing that surprised me was that there were many Pakistanis or Indians working in the hotel, although it gives the impression of a traditional Japanese hotel. Yes, the building is a bit old, the kimono is washed out (but the ailment is beautiful), everything is a bit shabby, the baths look like they have been in service for centuries. But everything is quite neat, traditional, the staff is super polite and attentive.

This ryokan is located very close to the gora station. It's literally a 10-minute walk. But the hotel itself already needs renovation. Everything works, but it's not in its best condition. But at the same time, it's relatively expensive, well located, and has everything a tourist is looking for in a ryokan. They serve kaiseki dinners, and have an onsen. There are two of them, on the 3rd and 4th floors, one for women and one for men, and they change at 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. So you can visit both. The water in the indoor pool and in the open-air bath is pleasant. Everything works, but renovations would be very helpful. I'm attaching a photo of a local keiseki dinner. It's brought all at once straight to your room. The dishes are not changed, which gives you additional freedom in choosing the order in which to eat your dishes.

Very nice atmosphere, the house is old, there was a heavy rain and the roof in the room was leaking, and there were a couple of cockroaches, but we were prepared for them after reading the reviews)) But a cool onsen! Overall, we really liked it, friendly staff, and good service. The cable car and bus stop are a 3-minute walk away. A bit expensive, but the price is average among other ryokans.

A very atmospheric and hospitable place, delicious and very beautifully served food (dinner and breakfast), good spring baths, warm blankets. Wonderful owners and all the staff. Very convenient location - 3 minutes from the cable car and bus station.

I really liked the ryokan: every corner absorbed the spirit of antiquity and history. Nice onsen, also very atmospheric.

The hotel is located next to the cable car and funicular station. The downside is that you will not be accommodated before your check-in time. After breakfast we returned and saw that our beds had already been rolled up. I wanted to lie down a little more before leaving.

7-8 minutes walk from Sousan Station. Dinner was excellent, and the employees were friendly. The facilities were old and worn, but well maintained.

This time I booked a room with two meals. Dinner and breakfast were very rich. However, the hot spring facilities are a bit old and men and women cannot soak in the hot spring together. If you go as a couple, you will be a little disappointed.
