First time at an onsen. We live near Banff,AB so have hot springs too but from the time we arrived, the service was amazing! A doorman carried our luggage up 2 flights of stone steps from the road where our shuttle dropped us off. We were asked to remove shoes and given tea and a mochi. Due to my milk allergy and my hubby not eating raw meat such as sushi, they went over our meals line by line and took such great care of us! The room was huge, our luggage was delivered to our room within 15 minutes and we had a gorgeous view of the cherry blossoms and mountains! Waking up to the sound of birds chirping and the air is so fresh! I love the tranquility and our stay included breakfast and dinner which were served with utmost hospitality and quality. I dropped a chopstick on the floor and had a new one within 20 seconds. I didn’t flag anyone down. They also arranged for our luggage transport to the next hotel and the outdoor onsen was lovely. I didn’t want to leave after the insanity of Tokyo city! Thank you to all the staff and those who manage this facility for making our stay fantastic! For a building that’s 140yo, you have struck the balance of preserving the old with the new! We love you and hope to see you again!

I loved the traditional stay. Lovely staff. I do think the accommodations were overpriced. The food was good but both mornings my hot breakfast was cold. Just make sure you don’t mind being far from other places.

Beautiful, delicious,

This ryokan is so beautiful, so luxurious, so simple and hospitable. The rooms are gorgeous and the views are better. The onsen is so inviting and clean. The staff! The staff is incredible. I wish we could have stayed her more than one night. And the food! There are no words! The food! I am so glad we found this place. We visited for one night in

A Truly Memorable and Authentic Japanese Experience Our stay at Hakone Kowakien Mikawaya Ryokan was nothing short of incredible. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the staff, whose kindness, attentiveness, and genuine friendliness made us feel right at home. They went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and were always willing to help with anything we needed. The room was beautiful—spacious, peaceful, and perfectly in line with the traditional Japanese aesthetic we were hoping to experience. From the tatami floors to the yukata robes and the relaxing onsen, every detail was thoughtfully presented and added to the authenticity of our stay. This ryokan is a perfect blend of hospitality and tradition, and we left feeling refreshed, grateful, and already planning a return visit. Highly recommended for anyone looking to immerse themselves in Japanese culture and receive exceptional service along the way

This ryokan is very conveniently located beside a bus stop, which makes transportation easy around the hakone area. They also have a shuttle bus to gora station. We had the room with private onsen, it was so amazing we were speechless! Our half board included kaiseki dinner with crab and japanese style breakfast, which are also 10/10. The whole experience was delicate, the service was attention to detail oriented. The only thing I wish they could improve would be the noise while dining, the sound of the staff walking and handling the plates, as well as one particular staff talking very loudly.

I really enjoyed the rooms at the property. The Ryokan style rooms with paper screen sliding doors and tatami mats made the room feel comfortable as well as the western style beds. The meals were served in the dining hall. Overall the property is quite nice and we felt welcomed on check in and during our stay.
