Peaceful bliss! Right up in the forest-laden mountains of Hakone, this traditionally modern ryokan should tick every mark you need for relaxation: simple, quiet, and surrounded by nature. The mineralized onsens feel fantastic... so much so, I was melting straight into myself! All the tension from long walks in Tokyo, gone in a sultry soak. You get to pick two bath times too -- one in the evening, one in the morning -- in one of three baths (one indoor, one outdoor, and one I forget). You also pick a time for breakfast, and which breakfast too: an American-style eggs and waffles and sausage (and some other bobbles), or a more traditional Japanese-style bento with cooked salmon, rice, miso, and nine assorted sides. I opted for the latter, and it was *very* tasty & filling! Combined with the very kind staff (who can speak English, if you need), made in all for a phenomenal and much-needed getaway from the hustle and bustle of city streets and crowded alleyways.

First ryokan and it will not be last

Our first ryokan experience and it was amazing. This place is a little remote and it was snowing and raining when we arrived so we decided to stay in and enjoy the relaxing 2 days here. The Japanese breakfast is awesome. If you want to try their dinner, make sure to email and order at least 2 days in advanced, it costs 8800 yen per person but it totally worth every penny. This is all private onsen meaning that you get the whole area for your group. Need to make reservations for onsen as well and we can have 2 onsen per day, each time lasts 50 minutes. The hot springs water is hot so we enjoy the outdoor onsen a lot more even it was snowing. Wish we live nearby so we can enjoy this more often. The staff are super nice and helpful.

Staff and place were great. Outdoor onsens were perfect (even with freezing cold rain!) and dinner presentation was beautiful and lots of food. Definitely a good hike uphill if you walknit but we managed. Only gave 4 stars because the mats in our room did not feel like any cushion at all under us when sleeping. Enjoyed our stay even so and highly recommend!

What an incredible gem! We had a wonderful and memorable experience. Luggage drop off before check-in and then check-in itself was seamless (we arrived early and we just followed the instructions at the front entrance to label our bags and place inside the doors, and when we came back the bags were already in our room). Staff is very friendly and helpful. We were able to select our onsen times (one evening and one morning bath) at check-in and as they had availability, we were lucky and were able to do a third one! The facilities themselves are great! All the onsens were fantastic, and it's nice they are all private. Highly recommend the traditional dinner option, it was delicious, well worth it, and a highlight of our trip. The breakfast was lovely. Definitely our favourite stay and would love to come back again! P.s- if getting off at Gora station, yep that is one steep hill to climb to the ryokan! We had carry-on size backpacks and I'm still happy we took the cable car two stops further as per the instructions we received from the ryokan even though it was busy and a bit of a wait (or with more luggage the taxi is likely we'll worth it. It's really not that far, 15ish min, but quite the hill!). The ryokan was also very prompt in responding to my messages prior to arrival, and that was much appreciated. Ajisai Onsen Ryokan thanks for the wonderful stay!

This is a small, charming onsen hotel with three separate bathing areas. Don’t expect it to be very modern, but the staff are truly exceptional and will go out of their way to make sure your stay is pleasant. Short walk to the cable car stop and easy access to Gora trains. I wish I’d stayed longer.

The property is very traditional. The onsens themselves are very nice, especially the outside ones. The two indoor ones are alright, depending on who is using the one next to you, it can be loud (ie children playing loudly next door). The property is a little dated but maintained well.

Excellent onsen ryokan at a very competitive price. You to select three 50 minute sessions in one of the three on-site onsens per day (one in the morning, two in then evening). The staff were friendly and accommodating. It's a bit of a hike uphill from the station but nothing someone moderately fit can't handle.

I like the traditional feeling of the inn. The room had lots of space and the staff was super friendly and spoke english. Two point i found negative was the fact that to be able to shower you have to reserve a slot in the osen and also you will have to walk uphill from the train station.

Another wonderful and relaxing stay

This is my third stay at Ajisai Onsen Ryokan, and my first with my family. I really enjoy coming here for the spacious and comfy room, relaxing private onsen, tasty traditional dinner and breakfast, and kind staff. Whenever I visit Japan, I try to make a stop here to wind down. Looking forward to booking here again.

SO PEACEFUL. My family and I especially liked the hot springs. The hot springs were very relaxing, you need to book a time slot for it and then choose a yakata to wear there (it's all free!). You are free to choose from three options: Outside hotspring, indoor hotspring (includes sauna), or both. Everywhere was so clean and the food tasted perfect! 10/10. I would recommend it.

Wonderful hospitality!

Unparalleled hospitality at this small onsen ryokan. The staff was beyond helpful in preparing for our trip, with thorough explanation regarding arrival and excellent communication. They were super flexible about holding bags before check in and after check out while we explored. The inn is a little tucked away from main restaurants and shops but taxi was easy and cheap and we could walk to the really delightful gora garden and craft house. They prepared a delicious multi course dinner accommodating a food allergy to gluten, a vegetarian, and teen dietary preferences and an interesting and generous traditional breakfast for our family. The dinner was the best meal we had in two weeks in Japan! The onsen facilities were so clean and it was a delightful experience. It was easy to sign up for private time for our group in both the evening and morning in both the indoor and outdoor onsen. Beds were really comfortable (best in our two weeks!) with nice in room amenities including flower tea. This was such a wonderful experience. We would feel fortunate to return!

Poor condition in every aspect

Food was sub-par, then served the same breakfast the 3 days we were there. Dinner was similar situation. Room was very dirty and tiny for 5 of us. Only saving grace was the onsen. Even so, not worth the $1000/night price tag.
