토노사와 온센 야마노 차야 료칸

Absolutely amazing experience. From the moment we arrived to the property to the time we checked-out and left, 10 out of 10. Clean, well-kept, phenomenal staff that catered to all your needs, delicious food, and absolutely peaceful/restful. Highly recommend if you are looking for a traditional ryokan experience in Hakone. Don't miss out on the kaiseki either!!

It was a pleasant stay and we are impressed by the creativity of the dishes

Authentic Ryokan Experience: Yamano Chaya offers a delightful traditional ryokan experience, complete with private hot spring baths in every room. The immersion in Japanese culture and relaxation is unparalleled. Serene Atmosphere: The public baths are not only impeccably clean but also wonderfully secluded. During my visit, I didn't encounter another soul, allowing for a truly tranquil soak. Idyllic Location: Nestled along the river, the location exudes peace and tranquility. Yet, it's conveniently close to various attractions, making exploration effortless with a short drive. Exceptional Service: The staff at Yamano Chaya sets a new standard for hospitality. Mikku, in particular, provided exemplary service, serving dinner and breakfast in our room with meticulous attention to detail. His explanations of each dish enhanced the dining experience. Unforgettable Experience in Hakone: The beauty of Hakone is perfectly encapsulated by Yamano Chaya. If I ever return to this stunning area, there's no doubt where I'll be staying – Yamano Chaya is an absolute gem.

Lovely old style building with very sweet, attentive and accommodating staff. Exceptional food and the servings are huge - dinner was incredible, the Japanese breakfast is also very generous. Both meals are increase value. The private onsen experience and access to other onsen in the ryokan is very lovely. The furniture in the sitting area is pretty uncomfortable though once the beds are removed in the morning. Nilish who looked after us during our stay was wonderful. Of all the quite touristy things on offer in Hakone the best experience by far was the open air sculpture park. Definitely visit! It’s world class with incredible works. You’ll need 2 hours.

Very accommodating and personal experience. Loved the onsen. Very relaxing. Would highly recommend.
