Beautiful Ryokan. Peaceful and very serene. I enjoyed walking around the town, visiting the Rose Garden, and eating at local eateries. I would highly recommend this Ryokan for people wanting the onsen experience, as you can request it privately. That was the main reason why I chose this onsen. I highly recommend this Ryokan.

This was our luxury stay in Japan. We absolutely loved the traditional ryokan and the private onsen was just dreamy. We had the option to book an hour every morning and evening—we just booked in the evening because in the morning we are usually ready to get our day started (and I think the bookings started maybe at 8am?). We loved the little walk down the hill to the train station—it was a pretty walk. While in Halone, Gora Park is a MUST—it is so beautiful and there is so much to see. I’d also recommend the Hakone Free Pass, which covered all of our transportation, the visit to Gora Park, and lots more! We’d definitely stay here again!
The view from our window that overlooked the walkway to the front of the hotel.
Room service—shrimp rice, butter chicken, and vegetable curry. It was all delicious!

Google maps made this place very hard to find. It’s way up a steep hill and not an easy walk so don’t plan on walking there. It’s a very difficult 20 min walk. Call a cab. Breakfast is not that great and is kind of expensive. Hot mineral springs are nice and are booked by the hour for each room so they are private. Staff is very nice.

A wonderful traditional ryokan. Clean, with private onsens you can use twice per day (or more). Very friendly staff. Highly recommend! Tip: take a taxi from the train station, it is a 15 min walk but very uphill. Also, for fine dining you can walk 10 minutes to the Hyatt that has two nice restaurants incl. sushi.

Nice but not worth the price

We enjoyed our stay at Ajisai. The rooms and futon were comfortable and staff was nice and accommodating, but for the price I have stayed at far better Ryokan. The images online made the rooms seem bigger and as if we would have our own baths attached to our room. Which is my own fault for not reaching out to clarify. But, personally, I would not have paid the ammount we did if I'd known it was only two tattami rooms and a toilet. Also, my companians were dissapointed in the way that the staff handled a large spider entering our room, as it made the room very difficult to be in, but we sincerely hope that the older man who sprayed an entire raid can into our room is okay as we could hear him coughing from upstairs. Speaking of which, the floors are very thin so if you have the downstairs room you can hear everyone walking in the hall and in their rooms upstairs.
