I would give this place 10 stars if I could. We had a disastrous experience with another Hakone hotel (see my other review). As a result, we booked this hotel only the night before to get a true Hakone Ryokan experience. we reached this hotel around 11:30 am with our 5-month-old drenched in rain. The owner immediately got out, greeted us, offered tea, and gave us a chance to dry out. She also had the hotel shuttle drop us to Hakone Open Air Museum while she prepared our room. She allowed us to check in early. The hotel is located in a very quiet spot and is very traditionally decorated. The whole hotel floor, including the elevators, was covered in tatami mats. We got a Japanese-style suite with an open private bath that received continuous water from the hot spring. The room had every amenity that you might have needed. The kaiseki dinner and the breakfast were some of the best meals we had in our lives. The property also had a public onsen and three private onsen. The CEO helped us book a private onsen session, which was included in the price. The souvenir shop had food and crafts from local artists. We bought a plum liquor that tasted amazing. The next morning, the CEO helped us to plan our itinerary for the day, helped us to buy the Hakone pass, and dropped us at the bus stop. Easily one of our best hotel experiences and the highlight of our Japan trip.

We loved our stay! The amazing food (10 courses each meal), wonderful onsens, and outstanding service were all wonderful. We highly recommend Musaahino Bekkan and would definitely come again. One note for other guests - the hotel will pick you up at one of the nearby train stations on the Hakone-Tozan line (Miyanoshita or Kowakidani). Just call their Japanese number and they will happily pick you up - they have a few staff that speak English.

I really enjoyed my stay here. It is a beautiful well kept onsen ryokan with amazing spacious rooms and facilities. The food was incredible. The staff was also incredible - I had a very tight schedule on my last day to get back to Tokyo and the staff helped me make a morning timeline and they really adhered to it on my behalf which was the most impressive part. My breakfast came a little early and they had the hotel car to take me to the train station all perfectly on time. I think there are some old reviews of this hotel on this website that are outdated. For example I saw reviews saying the staff can't speak English well which is now completely false, both the staff at the front desk and who brought meals to our room spoke very good English . I highly recommend this place and would stay here again.

Resort staff picks you up from the train station and drops you off at the station. As you arrive, check in was quick and easy. The facility is amazing with authentic mood. Food is fantastic and hot spring is private and peaceful.

I wanted to express my gratitude for the outstanding experience I had at your hotel. The staff was extremely friendly, willing to drop you off at any train or bus stop, and the hotel was impeccably clean. I highly recommend staying here and will definitely return the next time I'm in Hakone

Stayed here with two school-age children. We chose to stay in a traditional room with kaiseki dining. Both kids are very good eaters but even for the adults some of the food was very new. However, everything was carefully prepared and presented beautifully. The staff were very friendly, and several staff members were fluent in English. Still, I would recommend brushing up on your Japanese or using Google Translate for clear communication. Tub times were easy to reserve, but free time tubs often required waiting 15 min to 1 hour. We made the mistake of checking back every 10-15 minutes to see if one particular tub was free. After waiting an hour another guest arrived and took the tub even though they had only been waiting 2 minutes. So, you must stay right there! The location of the hotel is not walkable as the roads are steep with limited space for pedestrians. However, there is a minivan that can drop you off and pick you up from the bus station or nearby train station with ease. So, it’s no problem. Overall, the property was beautiful, clean, and very relaxing, and the staff were all very kind and helpful. Would definitely recommend if you would like an authentic Japanese ryokan and onsen experience.

My husband and I would come back here in a heartbeat. We were blown away with the breaktfast and dinner each day. We were so stuffed and impressed by the presentation. We booked the private baths without any issues and we were lucky that each time it was available for us. The staff was so nice and welcoming. They picked us up from the train station and drove us to the closest bus station on our free day in Hakone, we thought that was very helpful because walking to the station would be impossible.

The staff was so warm and welcoming we didn't want to leave.
