This is an excellent ryokan - great food, beautiful garden and onsen, wonderful service. There were five of us and we were given a (by Japanese measures) huge room (two connecting bedrooms, two balconies, one bathroom). It is true the rooms were quite old, but well preserved and clean. Both balconies faced the garden (which is absolutely lovely by the... More

Our stay at the Yosshiike Ryokan was shockingly bad and the worst ever out of the many hotels that we stayed at in our lives that involve a lot of travel. We arrived to be greeted in a hostile and ironic manner by a male staff at the reception who did not wish to answer my questions re: the procedures... More

My boyfriend and I stayed at the roykan (hotel) for three nights. We were served breakfast and dinner Kansei style (lots of dishes served on beautiful dinnerware). The food was delicious, but be prepared for a Japane breakfast. The location of the hotel is convenient and is in "downtown" Hakone. After a day of sightseeing, one can relax in the... More

The garden has got to be the best feature. I mean, leave your window open and you can hear the rustling of leaves and gushing water from... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our time travelling to, from and around Hakone. The overnight stay at a ryokan was something entirely new for us--a bit daring even--but a highlight of our trek. We took a bullet train from Tokyo to Odawara, then transferred to an express train which rolled gently into the small station at Hakone. From there we walked along... More

We stayed one night in 4th week of Feburary 2008. We couldn't book our desired hotel - across the street - the Kajikaso, so we decided to tell the agent to book Yoshiike to give it a try. The staff are all intolerant of English. The room is just standard but not very clean. Especially the futon and the blanket... More
