Fukuzumiro

Very old traditional Ryokan. Beautiful garden/riverside views. We did not realize that there are no private baths - that was a big surprise but we were only there one night so it wasn't that problematic. Staff were very accommodating and Google Translate made communication very easy.

This was the exact authentic Japanese style experience I wanted. Everything from the decor to the clothes. Our room overlooked the river and was incredible to sit and watch while sipping tea.

Staying at Fukuzumiro felt like stepping back in time. This traditional ryokan, rich with history and charm, offers a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature. The kaiseki meals were exquisite—carefully prepared and beautifully presented. The onsen, both private and public, was serene and rejuvenating - the temperature was perfect. Akiko-さん’s kindness and attentiveness truly elevated my stay - she treated me with the most special care and I loved learning Japanese from her during my stay. I highly recommend staying at Fukuzumiro if you are in Hakone!

We chose Fukuzumiro for one night during our honeymoon. We wanted a traditional experience, and we got it. Although very traditional, the building is clearly maintained very carefully. The staff is excellent and very very respectful. Koji-san served us really well. It made a huge difference in our experience. The dinner and breakfast are also awesome.
