C'était notre première expérience de Ryokan et absolument a dépassé nos attentes. Le Onsen privé extérieur donnant sur la montagne était tout simplement le moyen idéal pour se détendre ! La chambre était très propre et traditionnelle, tout ce que vous attendez de ryokan. Le petit déjeuner et les dîners étaient servis style kaiseki par notre personnel merveilleux d'attendre Kiku. Bien qu'il ne parlait pas anglais Kiku trop nous avons réussi à utiliser notre petit dictionnaire pour discuter avec elle et elle fonctionnait assez bien ! Tous les plats étaient délicieux et joliment présentés, donc plutôt que vous ne voulez pas manger ! Le personnel était très arrangeant concernant notre petit-déjeuner et le dîner. Ils nous ont également aidés à mettre ensemble un itinéraire pour une journée de voyage Owakudane. Ils ont respecté l'intimité des clients et étaient seulement vu ou entendu pendant les repas. Le ryokan est à 10 min en voiture de la gare de Hakone. On peut soit prendre un bus navette de l'hôtel ou un taxi - il y en a plein en dehors de la gare. Du ryokan il y a quelques bus qui passent sur cette route (il y a un arrêt près du Ryokan). Selon le bus, vous pouvez prendre le retour en ville ou à la Togendai embarcadère. Kiku même nous a conduits à la gare de bus le premier jour ! Dans l'ensemble, c'était une super expérience et nous sommes bien contents d'avoir séjourné dans un ryokan privé plus petite et plus. L'endroit était entièrement réservé, mais nous avons seulement croisé un autre couple une fois pendant notre séjour. Nous y retournerions sans hésiter !

Wonderful service and accommodations. 9 private rooms in this 3 story building. Stayed in the Moegi room on the third floor and it had a dining area on tatami mats and a double bed area and a private wooden onsen on the back deck with outdoor shower. The room faces the tree lined mountains and has a peek-a-boo cutout to the side on the deck since it's a corner spot. Toilet is in a small room with a small sink and the bigger sink and toiletries are across of the bed. There's not a lot of space for luggage and unpacking since you don't want to unpack in the dining room since that's where your meals are served. Great personalized service and attention. Makes you feel so welcome and at home. Yuuriko-san was so attentive and friendly throughout our stay. They provide nice yukata for dinner and a casual yukata for after the bath and for sleeping. Air conditioned. Provides hot water and cold water in the room with a stocked mini fridge (alcohol etc for purchase like a mini bar). Dinner and breakfast are served in your room! You can eat at 6 or 6:15pm for dinner and 8:45 or 9am for breakfast. I only wish they served the rice earlier in the dinner, but if that's the only issue then yes it was a great stay. Toiletries all provided. There were some mosquitos but they also have a little machine to help keep the bugs away. There is no contact info for the hotel other than direct international phone number but they do speak some English and accommodated my requests perfectly (including dietary requests for the half board - kaiseki dinner and breakfast). About a 10 min ride on the B Course Ryokan shuttle bus (100 yen per person each way) from Hakone Yumoto station. Bus departs across of the train station on the 15 and 45 past the hour. The bus is tiny so get there early if you can and just squeeze on and know it will be a short ride. Remember to tell the driver you are going to seikansou. It was the third stop for us but it might depend on how many other places people are getting off of. There are public onsen on the bottom floor - one for men and one for women. There isn't much to do at the hotel itself but you don't come to Seikansou for that. Just relax and once you put your yukata on, you don't have to worry. Oh you take your shoes off at the front entrance and you don't see it again until you leave!

“Phenomenal onsen and ryokan experience!”

To make our first visit to Japan special, my niece and nephew (who live in Asia) reserved an overnight stay for the 4 of us at Seikansou.

To make our first visit to Japan special, my niece and nephew (who live in Asia) reserved an overnight stay for the 4 of us at Seikansou. From the moment we entered the front door of the Zen-like environment of this ryokan, we knew this was going to be an extraordinary experience. Our room was lovely, with high quality bath products and a gorgeous, private onsen overlooking dense woods. We had a delicious, multi-course keiseki dinner served by a kimono-clad woman who could not have been more solicitous. (I think her name was Yukiko.) The next morning, we were treated to an equally impressive multi-course Japanese breakfast. If you're looking for gracious service, an immaculate environment and an authentic ryokan experience, this is the place! Be sure to get good directions because Seikansou is not easy to find. Only one person spoke English well, and my niece who speaks Japanese made the reservation, so I can't vouch for how easy it would be for an English speaker to reserve a room here.
