Loved it!

It’s just a really great experience staying at this hotel. They have thought of a lot of little extras from free ice cream at the reception. Welcome drinks. Someone takes you to your room and shows you around. The gardens are beautiful. The buffet was delicious. And the Onsen room was.fantastic.

Got a nice view of the mountains from my room. Buffet food was pretty good. All the public baths, including the ones at the neighbouring Mori no Yu, were very good! Would recommend coming if you want to enjoy onsen and disconnect from the busy city.

Hakone TEN-YU is an excellent property for someone visiting Japan and wanting to be fully immersed into Japanese culture and tradition. I have been to Japan and Hakone many times and I find this hotel to be a great way to experience Japanese hospitality and to really experience the Onsen tradition of Japan. You will not find many Onsen like the 2 public Onsens at TEN-YU which alternate daily from Men to Women. Also, the buffet breakfast and dinners give you the feeling of traditional Japanese food with enough variety to satisfy an American palate. You must try some of the Japanese traditional food however, if you want to truly experience the Japanese culture. The rooms are clean and spacious and you can relax and wear your yukatas and slippers provided throughout the facility. There is also an attached onsen theme park called Yunessun which you can use for free and which may be great for kids and families who want to get a taste of the onsen experience (with bathing suits) but it is really best for its traditional fully naked onsen experience. Many rooms also have a private bathing tub on the balcony which can be used privately and can be filled with hot spring water as well for those who want a more private but less immersing onsen experience. Also, there is free ice cream from a vending machine in the lobby.
