Really special hotel, will remember well

Very good location, close to the bus stop. 1 bus away from Odawara train station. Walkable to local train station also. Service was excellent and the food was amazing. There are no elevators, only stairs, and this can be challenging for people with physical conditions. It is a traditional Japanese style hotel (ryokan), so you eat sitting on the floor, and they put out and packed away the mattresses each day; and not much furniture (chairs) to sit on. Onsen water (the outside one) can be a bit cleaner.

Excellent service. Friendly staff. Multilingual. I would rate cleanliness as 8 out of 10. Dinner and breakfast service was excellent. Onsen would be 10 out of 10 if there’s an outdoor option.

It was a memorable stay for our family. The property is charming and conveniently located near bus tops and train station. The best part of our stay was the staff. Everyone was very welcoming and courteous. We love our grandmother attendant. She was taking good care of us during our stay. She offered to take our family photos after the first dinner was setup in our room and she has a lovely personality. We were constrained by the language barriers but we use gestures to communicate which worked out well. The meals were incredible and they were a work of art. We were spoiled and we will remember the wonderful experience we had at Yaeikan for years to come. I can’t wait to return again.

Both private and public onsen options. Dinner and breakfast were very tasty. Futons very comfortable and very friendly service. Our a/c struggled a little to keep up with the hot humid weather, but otherwise excellent stay

Very nice traditional ryokan! Our room had a private Onsen located within it, which was very nice. We had meals served to us in our room which consisted of traditional Japanese meals. Very nice staff. Close to the main shopping street and train station. Beautiful area.

We stayed at this ryokan for 2 days, and we really like it, especial the onsen and the lady was introduce us to the room, and service us the dinner and breakfast, I forgot to ask her name, we like her so much, we hope she have a good health and happy in her life and her job, we will come back to visit her later. The ryokan is old but quite nice, and clean. It is close to the train station, and close to the shopping street. We was enjoy there for the last 2 days in Japan. The food is good, first time in my life have a lot of sashimi like that time, I will keep it in my memory. I hope I can come back to there soon.

Yaeikan is an amazing place that allows you to experience traditional Japanese culture! I had an Onsen bath while listening to the rain. I had a traditional dinner and breakfast and slept on a tatami! It was incredible! People at this place are kind, gentle and helpful! Highly recommend!

The kaiseki dinner and breakfast were the stars of the show. The authentic traditional Japanese inn (ryokan) was very evident in the room and the building's ageless architecture. Although it shows its age, it does so in authenticity, you cannot manufacture the feel and timelessness of Japanese culture. The essence of it is mainly the service, efficient, respectful and loving. Our hostess took care to make us comfortable , well fed, and well informed. With her broken english, she conveyed warmth and excitement as she must have with the many many guests that have come through this classic ryokan. Highly recommended if you're looking for a real ryokan experience in Hakone.
