We had an amazing stay at Byakudan. All the staff are friendly and helpful, food delicious, shuttle convenient, and the private onsen is DIVINE! It’s so relaxing with serene forest in front of you. It will definitely be our go to place whenever we go back to Hakone in the future.

In one word…stunning. An experience not to be missed. I don’t know where to begin with my praise-the staff, the facilities or the food? All impeccable. The staff made us feel like their most special and honored guest anticipating every need. The facilities are amazing. Room was beautiful as was the view of the mountains. Finally the food. Wow. The most delicious, delicately prepared food. A true experience. I bravely ate sashimi for the first time and enjoyed the pen shell! All dishes were explained in great detail and lovingly prepared. This property was a lucky find for us and I recommend to anyone looking for a beautiful ryokan experience

I’ve always wanted to visit a ryokan when in Japan and knew that for my first trip, it was a must have. Did a lot of research on the different ryokans in the Hakone area but settled on Byakudan as it included a kaiseki dinner breakfast with our stay as well as had a private onsen for every room since my partner has tattoos. I was super concerned about how to access the property, but coming from the Tokyo Ginza region, it wasn’t actually that bad. It was extremely foggy the day we arrived but I could not find fault with how beautiful the ryokan is (also got a beautiful, sunny view the next morning). Absolutely stunning in person and everything smells so pleasantly of their namesake, sandalwood. The staff is so attentive in everything from giving a full room tour to letting you choose what times you’d like to dine at. Dressing up in the provided yukata was so fun and they had so many complimentary snacks, drinks, and amenities for us. We had a western style Tsuyu room on the first floor so the private onsen area was pretty, serene, and blocked from others with a tall fence. The meals were so good. It was some of the prettiest and tastiest food I’ve ever eaten, both dinner and breakfast. Even the snacks were amazing (you can bring some home)! They take into account allergies and food preferences. Overall, I can’t believe the experience I received here. It was healing. Definitely the highlight of my trip. This memory will be so special and I already can’t wait to be back.

Hakone Gora Byakudan was easily the highlight of our Japanese anniversary adventure. From the moment you step inside this ryokan you are whisked away to a sanctuary of relaxation and calmness. Every detail is considered, even the check-in experience where you are invited to enjoy fresh matcha and Japanese sweets while the details of your stay are reviewed with you. I was hoping for a room with mountain views but everything was booked up so we originally had booked with another onsen. Finally a cancellation allowed us to book a room on a lower floor with a garden view and it was perfect and so serene. After traveling for a week in Japan, my entire body hurt from head to toe. Five minutes in our private onsen melted every ache and pain away. I also highly recommend utilizing the spa services. The facial I received was incredibly relaxing, so much that I drifted off halfway through! The 10 course kaiseki dinner featured multiple dishes in each course and considered both of our eating restrictions. Getting to grate my own fresh wasabi was really cool. The nihonshu (sake) we ordered was served in gorgeous glass vessel and matching glasses. I was delighted to see I could bring a set back to enjoy at home. The Western style bed was definitely the most comfortable bed of our entire trip. This experience was transformative and one I will never forget. Do not hesitate to book this ryokan with onsen if you can find availability.

Amazing private hot spring experience. The staff were super nice and the shuttle service is indispensable. Hakone bus system was unreliable but the hotel staff kindly picked us up and dropped us off at various locations throughout our stay. We really appreciated the kindness shown to us during our stay.
