Disappointed
The first room we were in was filthy with mold and fungi spreading across the walls, dirty bed sheets and hair that was not ours on the covers. My wife is vegetarian and the dinner options were absolutely horrible, feels like they never prepared any meals for a vegetarian guest, with most dishes consisting of lettuce and some other vegetables, and barely any cooked food, the food quality decreased drastically since my last time. Not recommended and not worth the price. They did swap the room once we called them and the staff was very nice and kind, but I expect more value for my money spent.

We love that the room is very baby friendly and has a private open air onsen bath with a view. The staff was helpful. Halfboard option was great. We were given a private room for dining and it worked great with small children.

Ten-Yu was a surprise (in a good way). I had not expected much but discovered that it has a lot of little things that make the experience special. Each unit is large and has yukata's for adults and children (essentially a more casual version of a kimono) that you can wear throughout your stay at the property - while eating at the restaurants too! Nearly everyone wore them and it gave you a more "home-like" sense to the property. They also had live music concerts in the lobby (flute/saxophone) where a small group of about 20-25 guests would congregate to listen to the music. The property has free cold tea and snacks in the lobby. They also had free champagne/drinks briefly during happy hour. The kids loved the free ice cream vending machine. They had buffet breakfast included in our stay. We also learned an important lesson about dinner in Hakone area. Make your reservations before you arrive! Most people eat dinner at the property because a lot of restaurants outside are closed for dinner or have long waits. Then go to the onsen (hotspring at the property) either before or after dinner. You'll feel great. For those who don't want to get naked, you can go to Yunnesun which is next door to the property which is a fun hotspring waterpark. The kids loved it, especially the fish pedicure. It is connected via an indoor walkway. The service overall was very good - the front lobby staff was excellent although restaurant staff could be better at following up on my requests.

I loved every minute of my stay here! Is it a little expensive? Yes. Is it worth it? Also yes! My room had a private onsen which was great but if you can overcome the shyness of being in the nude in public, the two outdoor public onsens are gorgeous! They are gender separated and the hotel switches between the two onsens each day so that everyone can enjoy both onsen settings. One is more modern with an infinity pool overlooking the mountains and the other was a more natural setting with a waterfall.

Ten-Yu was amazing. The property, staff, food, and town were all amazing. The hot spring water was invigorating and relaxing. The private onsen had a beautiful waterfall, the public garden was great.
