"Great size rooms with clean spacious bathrooms.
Breakfast was expensive and mediocre. Western breakfast had small serving sizes and limited variety which was not worth the cost."

Amazing dinner in the hotel restaurant. The Wagyu beef was melt in your mouth fantastic. Great wine. The private onsen was perfect and so relaxing at the end of the night. Super comfortable bed and spacious room. Wish I had booked two nights. My only complaint is the coffee in the room is more espresso style and I love a big hearty cup of coffee in the morning. The hotel doesn’t offer coffee in the lobby which is a bummer. We didn’t add breakfast just because we don’t usually do breakfast....

Staffs spoke fluent English and are super communicative. Overall great experience, scenery of the onsen is amazing. Just want to highlight though, when we used the shuttle bus to arrive at the Gora Station, bus driver didn’t really help to carry the luggages down which is fine, just feels a bit weird to see the contrast before and after leaving the hotel. Overall, hospitality 9.5/10.

Always enjoy my stay at this property but was disappointed this time with breakfast. They no longer serve drinks to order instead a big thermos for coffee and tea were on the counter, of course taste was subpar. The manager saw my surprise at this and offered drinks to order but I believe this should be a minimum standard for a brand like Hyatt Regency. In my humble opinion, you don’t need curry in the morning buffet but you should offer quality coffee and tea to kick off the day pleasantly.

This place is incredible! Truly beautiful and serene. The staff were so kind and made you feel special. The cabins are gorgeous, and the food was delicious. I truly hope to come back for longer next time.

Absolutely beautiful inside and out! Sound of wind in trees, breathtaking views, glorious onsen! Staff could not be nicer or more efficient. Even made me a birthday card! 6 course dinner was incredible! I will be back!

A beautiful property on Lake Ashinoko with stunning views of Mt Fuji. Extremely close to the rope-way that takes you up to the shrine on the mountain with even more breathtaking views. Lovely rooms, helpful staff. Dining options are limited to the hotel as it is too remote to get anywhere else. Nice outdoor onsen

I usually don’t write reviews but I wanted give one to this place. I enjoyed every part of the experience of this ryokan. The place has a rustic traditional look. The dinning experience was fantastic dinner and breakfast was amazing and the open onsen was beautiful. Staff were sincere and nice. Highly recommend this place to anyone!

One of the most beautiful, peaceful, serene hotels we have ever stayed at! Located in area with lots of trees. Private onsen is simply amazing. The Japanese breakfast was the best we have ever had. Highly recommend!

Amenities were amazing! The private onsen was a huge draw. In terms of the food, breakfast was a standout; loved it. And the staff were very attentive! Thank you Fujiwara-san!

Hakone Airu was a wonderful stay that will form part of our unforgettable trip to Japan. At first, I was hesitant to book this hotel because of the limited number of reviews. In the end, I took a chance and went a "Superior Room" with in-room bath. To be honest, not sure what the difference is between the different room types. Such a room with dinner & breakfast seemed to cost a lot more at other hotels. Not sure what else you get in other places; but I'm sure it can't get much better than...
