This hotel is just stunning. I felt in a peaceful trance the whole time. The buffets are more traditional Japanese than catering to tourists and are delicious. The views are gorgeous. Gardens are beautiful. But the staff - the staff are incredible. Manager Moe Kitabyashi helped me for a long time transferring my lost luggage from osaka station to Tokyo. She was so patient and helpful and saved the day! Grateful. Go visit.

8/10

A unique lovely stay in Ten-YU in Hakone. Service at the front desk was excellent, welcomed and shown to our room. Complimentary sparkling wine and soft drinks in the early evening a special touch. We enjoyed the complimentary coffee and the evening buffet was great. A wide selection and the meal included a drink. My only small negatives was the breakfast buffet which had limited healthy western vegetarian options, the lack of anywhere to eat at lunch time/during the day and no gym or fitness options available e.g onsite yoga or gym etc. When the weather was raining lunch and fitness options such as a gym would have been appreciated. Our room was on a high floor with lovely views and was comfortable, a good size and clean. Overall a lovely, unique hotel.

This place was so peaceful. The private balcony onsen and sound of the rushing water below was the ultimate relaxing getaway. The dinner and breakfast buffets were simply delicious. There were so many options and the tempura was perfect. We loved wearing the provided yukata down to dinner. The staff was also very helpful annd friendly. Our only regret was that we only stayed one night. I wish we could have stayed longer. Hakone Kowakien Yunessun entrance is accessible through a corridor from the hotel and is the perfect relaxing getaway. This was our favorite place of our entire 17 day trip to Japan.
