Setsugetsuka

Nice hotel and good services. The room is big and clean. Our room has private onsen which is very comfortable. The hotel also has various kinds of public onsen so u can try different types of water! I strongly recommend ppl who visit hakone should stay one night here.

1min walk from gora station, extremely convenient. Private onsen is amazing

Like the private onsen very much. The lobby is grand and authentic japanese feel. Dinner and breakfast are good too.. Amenities in the room is slightly dated..

Good location close to the station, but old furniture and appliances. Clean and neat, but there were too many customers, it felt like going to a family market.

Highly highly recommended Location: Super near Gora station very convenient to travel everywhere. There is even direct bus to and fro Gotemba premium outlet, Hakone-Yumoto and Odawara was convenient as well. Ryokan: Check in was great, front desk communicates and explains everything in English clearly. Was able to reserve my 2 night’s dinner upon checking in too. There were free snacks, lounge area with coffee/drinks/ice cream, you can choose your yukata for both male/female, daily nighttime free delicious ramen. Room: Excellent, bed was comfortable and there is an outdoor tub as well. Take note the tub will be filled with hot water instead of hot spring water. There was pyjamas as well. Onsen: There are 3 different outdoor private tubs which will light up when in used (first come first serve basis). We managed to try all 3 and our favourite was the wooden tub, followed by stone tub and lastly the one with 2 tubs (so each person to soak in 1). Queue can be quite long sometimes as this private onsen is popular among couples. To be considerate it is best to use it as quick as possible. Then there is the public onsen with both indoor and outdoor, hot, cold dips and sauna. Hot dips can reach up to 40-42 degrees. There is another human made hot water carbonation onsen which has lesser people since it is not hot spring water. I thoroughly enjoyed all the onsens. Meals: Highly recommend to opt the breakfast and dinner options. Restaurants close very early around 5pm so there are not a lot of dinner options outside the ryokan. Meals were excellent and Japanese Kaiseki style. Very delicious and there was so much food in the course meal. Overall 10/10 experience and I would choose this ryokan on my next trip.

The onsen resort is great. They have huge public bath that you won’t feel congested. Resort provides free yukata for rental, free snack bar at the lobby, free noodles for supper, free ice-cream and buns as tea break.
