Amazing experience! Traditional Japanese Ryokan with a public, private and in-room baths, you feel in another world in this resort. The staff were second to none - always on hand to help you, answer any questions you have, and trying to speak English to help you. And the food was special. If you’re looking for traditional kiseki, then this would be it - made with local ingredients, colourful and special, it is a taste sensation, with a different menu each night too. You can also order either a Japanese or a western breakfast if it’s too much traditional food for you! An overall unforgettable, out of this world experience that you would never get elsewhere. Highly recommended!

This was a lovely and traditional Ryokan. The staff were lovely. Some aspects of the food were amazing and other didn’t quite hit the spot. For example you couldn’t get a coffee with breakfast (even if you chose Western style). The property was a bit “tired” and could do with a facelift especially for the price they charge.

Great property with a lovely private onsen in the room. Both dinner and breakfast services were incredible with great presentation and very friendly staff. Staff arranged a firefly tour the night there as well which was extra special and unexpected. Would stay again next time in Hakone!

An hotel in the style of a traditional Ryokan, absolutely everything about Mikawaya was exceptional. The decor, rooms, public onsen, meals and staff were amazing. Although it is a little out of the way and up an incline, there are multiple frequent transport options and even a shuttle bus which can take you back and forth from Gora Station. When it was chucking it down with rain this was very convenient. The room was very spacious, comfortable and had all the amenities you could want. The staff were delightful, friendly, polite and helpful. Oh and the food. You need to come here just to experience the food.

Staying here was such an enjoyable, relaxing, and special experience. The breakfast and dinner kaiseki were delicious and allowed us to try a variety of Japanese dishes. It's a lot of food so come to each meal hungry. All the staff we interacted with were kind and very helpful. The indoor and outdoor onsen was the perfect way to unwind after long days exploring the Hakone area. It's also right across from the Horai-en Hakone bus stop if using the Hakone free pass to get around. If you're looking for a romantic and relaxing mountain retreat, this is a great place for you!

Stay away!
We did not know that our room would have only an outside shower, and it was about 40°, so we could not use the shower at all! Room was not genuine ryokan, as we had beds rather than futon and we had to go to a dining area for our meals. It might be better to stay in a room with a shared bathroom because those are in the older part of the hotel. Stinked odor of mold everywhere in the hotel Samiel were OK, but everything else was substandard. We were very excited about this day, which was our last evening in Japan, and it was a huge disappointment. The glowing reviews I read online must be from people who don't know what to expect at a traditional Japanese in

Beautiful 300 year old Japanese home, amazing staff who take care of their guests. The staff are able to speak English and take note of your dietary needs. We opted for the room with an open air bath and it was totally worth it! It's not too hard to get to from Tokyo as well, just one train and a direct bus ride.

Lovely quiet getaway at this historic ryokan. It is over 140 years old and is still going strong with its delightful staff and beautiful natural hot springs. They offer a room with a personal hot spring which is the one we stayed in. Have to say would visit again. If you plan on ordering the dinner or breakfast be advised the portions are enormous but delicious.
