⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 – A Truly Unforgettable Ryokan Experience Our stay at Hakone Kowakien Mikawaya Ryokan was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. The atmosphere perfectly captured the charm of a traditional Japanese inn — peaceful, elegant, and deeply relaxing. The kaiseki dinner and Japanese breakfast were both incredible — beautifully presented, full of flavor, and a true highlight of our trip. Each dish felt thoughtfully prepared with seasonal ingredients and artistic presentation. We enjoyed both the private onsen and the public baths, which were immaculate and soothing with the surrounding nature views. The private bath experience was especially special — serene, quiet, and rejuvenating after a long day of exploring Hakone. The staff were kind, attentive, and made us feel truly welcome. Every detail, from the check-in to the evening yukata service, reflected genuine hospitality and care. If you’re looking for an authentic ryokan stay that combines comfort, tradition, and incredible cuisine, Hakone Kowakien Mikawaya Ryokan is perfect. We can’t recommend it enough — it’s an experience we’ll always remember.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We booked this ryokan for one night of our honeymoon, based on Expedia's images and positive reviews. The room was generous in size, and it was special to have a private onsen. However, the annex building had a noticeable damp or mold smell, and the hallways had damaged finishes and spiderwebs. The kaiseki dinner was served in a windowless hall, rather than a room with views. Overall, the hospitality in terms of cleanliness and staff attentiveness felt below the standard we experienced at other accommodations in Japan. The property's images and reviews suggested a higher level of quality and atmosphere than what we encountered, and it did not meet our expectations given the price paid.

Our stay here was magical. The staff were attentive and helpful. The area was so beautiful and peaceful surrounded by forest. The public onsen was empty both times we used it so actually quite private and so relaxing!! The hotel were so kind and decorated our room for our honeymoon. The food was sublime, I would definitely recommend getting dinner, and our special fruit plate was such a sweet touch. Wearing the traditional dress and staying in the paper walled rooms felt so authentic and made our honeymoon so special. THANK YOU SO MUCH!! ❤️‍🔥

We got the room with the private onsen spa. We had just gotten engaged and the room and facilities were absolutely gorgeous and romantic. Everything was very clean and aesthetic, and the staff was very helpful. Would love to come stay again in the winter, or at least when the facade is finished!
