Boasting an open-air bath and views of mountain, Onsen Guest House Tsutaya is a recently renovated ryokan situated in Hakone, 6.5 km from Hakone-Yumoto Station. Free WiFi is available throughout the property and private parking is available on site. The accommodation features a lift, a shared kitchen and luggage storage for guests.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Onsen Guest House Tsutaya, and I can't say enough good things about my experience. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warm hospitality and a serene atmosphere. The staff at Tsutaya were incredibly friendly and accommodating. They went out of their way to ensure I had a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The shared dorm room was not only comfortable but also immaculately clean. The bedding and facilities were well-maintained, and the layout of the room offered a sense of privacy in a communal setting. The location of the guest house was also ideal, nestled in a peaceful area that allowed for a tranquil escape from the bustling city. It was the perfect retreat to unwind and recharge. I highly recommend Onsen Guest House Tsutaya to anyone seeking an authentic Japanese experience with top-notch service. My stay was memorable, and I can't wait to return to this gem of a guest house.

The garden was absolutely beautiful, and the lounge area was nice! They also had water and tea available at all times. We had japanese breakfast, which I think is part of the japanese guest house experience :D they also have a shuttle service to Gora Station in the morning. The most amazing part was the Onsen (used the left on - very beautiful)! We abolutely loved it, and were able to squeeze in 2 baths dueing our 1 night stay. Lastly, staff and owner were super nice and helpful! The owner even offered to drive us to a train station so we could get to Odawara more easily for our flight. We really appreciated it!! Thank you for a lovely stay!

    Perfect ryokan experience. Small pond with gorgeous carps. Nice territory. Good onsens for women and men. Delicious food with abundance of fish and seafood products. A bit pricy but totally worth visiting. All the best to our welcoming hostess Tomico! She was very charming and caring!

    Kana was an absolutely incredible host, she is very friendly and has plenty of local information she wants to share. Offered to book an onsen/dinner for us if needed. Best bed/sleep we've had so far in Japan. Great location, only a few minutes walk from trains, busses, 7/11 / Lawsons.

    The host was a very nice, smiley and kind person. She was very clear and punctual in the explanations about the stay, and she was also giving me many advices on what to visit in Hakone. Her hostel is a lovely, traditional guest house. I felt like in one of those Japanese movies that I was watching when I was little. It was also super clean and cozy. Kana also offers hot/cold free drinks, and a fridge to leave your stuff. The neighbours is quiet and peaceful. I totally recommend!
