The onsen was great that wasnt my problem. My first problem was actually getting there, the google maps had me climb a bunch of stairs. The place should encourage taxi for future stays. The second was limited food selections. The third, was well expedia said breakfest was included but when i asked they said no i had to pay. I did but i just think it should be fixed on there expedia profile.

Love the experience!

Wonderful! Best meal of our trip and relaxing private onsens. Comfortable beds and strong wifi. We would definitely return. Ajisai is a ryokan or traditional Japanese inn tatami-matted rooms, futons and private onsens or natural hot springs. Upon making a reservation, the hotel sent us a detailed email with directions and advice. The managers/owners are lovely and very helpful. When you arrive, you can feel the peaceful atmosphere. Our family studio had a queen and a twin bed raised with 2 extra futons in the closet. The rooms are spacious with a private bathroom but no showers –reserve an onsen which include showers. Buy the “half board” which includes kaiseki or a multi-course dinner and your choice of Japanese or Western breakfast. The dinner was an entire experience – just as you finish a course, another one is served. Our favorite course was the cook your own beef on your own mini cooking device – it was both fun and delicious. There were 3 choices of private onsens: indoor and outdoor, indoor with sauna, or outdoor. They were a very relaxing and rejuvenating experience. You will love the serenity and overall experience of Ajisai Onsen Ryokan!

The staff was wonderful. Kind, eager to help and make sure guests were taken care of. We had a wonderful dinner and equally excellent breakfast. It’s a small quiet place out of the way, and it felt private and peaceful. The onsen reservation system was simple and we got lucky to get multiple chances to try indoors and outdoors. We had a great experience.

Amazing! I loved the private booking of the three different onsens. Very family friendly. Front desk host was super helpful, spoke sufficient English, was very kind and thorough. My kids loved the whole experience. The beds were very comfortable. Room service was also available. Check in early to get the most benefit for reserving the onsens.

The best part of this stay was by far the onsens - there are 3 to choose from and you can reserve 2 at night and 1 in the morning. It was chilly but we loved the hot soaks morning and night. Be sure to reserve early because only one group of guests is allowed at a time. The room is very traditional with floor sleeping arrangements but still clean and comfortable. Nothing fancy, but nice. This hotel is a bit of a hike from the main train station - we got in at night and there were no taxis available so we made the cold and rainy walk 20 minutes uphill to the hotel.

Peaceful bliss! Right up in the forest-laden mountains of Hakone, this traditionally modern ryokan should tick every mark you need for relaxation: simple, quiet, and surrounded by nature. The mineralized onsens feel fantastic... so much so, I was melting straight into myself! All the tension from long walks in Tokyo, gone in a sultry soak. You get to pick two bath times too -- one in the evening, one in the morning -- in one of three baths (one indoor, one outdoor, and one I forget). You also pick a time for breakfast, and which breakfast too: an American-style eggs and waffles and sausage (and some other bobbles), or a more traditional Japanese-style bento with cooked salmon, rice, miso, and nine assorted sides. I opted for the latter, and it was *very* tasty & filling! Combined with the very kind staff (who can speak English, if you need), made in all for a phenomenal and much-needed getaway from the hustle and bustle of city streets and crowded alleyways.

First ryokan and it will not be last

Our first ryokan experience and it was amazing. This place is a little remote and it was snowing and raining when we arrived so we decided to stay in and enjoy the relaxing 2 days here. The Japanese breakfast is awesome. If you want to try their dinner, make sure to email and order at least 2 days in advanced, it costs 8800 yen per person but it totally worth every penny. This is all private onsen meaning that you get the whole area for your group. Need to make reservations for onsen as well and we can have 2 onsen per day, each time lasts 50 minutes. The hot springs water is hot so we enjoy the outdoor onsen a lot more even it was snowing. Wish we live nearby so we can enjoy this more often. The staff are super nice and helpful.

Staff and place were great. Outdoor onsens were perfect (even with freezing cold rain!) and dinner presentation was beautiful and lots of food. Definitely a good hike uphill if you walknit but we managed. Only gave 4 stars because the mats in our room did not feel like any cushion at all under us when sleeping. Enjoyed our stay even so and highly recommend!

What an incredible gem! We had a wonderful and memorable experience. Luggage drop off before check-in and then check-in itself was seamless (we arrived early and we just followed the instructions at the front entrance to label our bags and place inside the doors, and when we came back the bags were already in our room). Staff is very friendly and helpful. We were able to select our onsen times (one evening and one morning bath) at check-in and as they had availability, we were lucky and were able to do a third one! The facilities themselves are great! All the onsens were fantastic, and it's nice they are all private. Highly recommend the traditional dinner option, it was delicious, well worth it, and a highlight of our trip. The breakfast was lovely. Definitely our favourite stay and would love to come back again! P.s- if getting off at Gora station, yep that is one steep hill to climb to the ryokan! We had carry-on size backpacks and I'm still happy we took the cable car two stops further as per the instructions we received from the ryokan even though it was busy and a bit of a wait (or with more luggage the taxi is likely we'll worth it. It's really not that far, 15ish min, but quite the hill!). The ryokan was also very prompt in responding to my messages prior to arrival, and that was much appreciated. Ajisai Onsen Ryokan thanks for the wonderful stay!

This is a small, charming onsen hotel with three separate bathing areas. Don’t expect it to be very modern, but the staff are truly exceptional and will go out of their way to make sure your stay is pleasant. Short walk to the cable car stop and easy access to Gora trains. I wish I’d stayed longer.
