Sengokuhara Shinanoki (Ichinoyu is a small chain of inns with several locations in Japan) is a romantic little Japanese inn nestled among the Hakone mountains. It is simple, clean, and welcoming. This was our first ryokan experience and we were left with a very favorable impression. Clearly, our favorite feature was the private, in-room, natural (VERY!) hot springs bath (onsen).... More

This is one of the newer Ichinoyu property. I enjoyed my stay here. The price is relatively cheaper compared to the other ryokan in Hakone. I enjoyed the public hot spring and it wasnt too crowded while i was there. The futon was very comfortable, it was the 1st time i slept on this kind of futon and it was... More

Search through the web and found this to be one of the cheapest hotel that comes with private onsen (hot spring). Location of the hotel was not bad. Directly opp from the bus stop and the bus is easy to take with information on which is the next stop, in english as well. I opted for the circuit travel for... More

My friends and I stayed there during Mid-December 2011 for 3D2N. We booked a Japanese style room with private open-air bath (2nd floor, non-smoking). It costs 73000 yen for 3 persons. There is a KOTATSU(foot warmer) table in the room, and we slept on futon. There are western style rooms available as well, but we decided to stay in a... More

First of all, I would like to extend my prayers to Japan for the earthquake & tsunami disaster. You are in my thoughts. On to the review! What an amazing onsen resort! This is the first time where I'd stayed at a Japanese style ryokan (futon beds/kotasu) and I'd enjoyed every moment of it. Even tho' during the stay, I... More

My family stayed in one the bigger rooms with the private onsen at the balcony. The room was spacious with adequate sleeping areas for my three teenagers. They thoroughly enjoyed the privacy of the onsen. The bathing area is outdoors so it can be fairly chilly to bathe in winter. But the contrast provided by the warm onsen makes it... More

We booked the largest room that could sleep six. The room itself was beautiful, with a foot warmer, outdoor bath and 5 futons. However, the room became quite cold at night because cold wind entered through the gaps of the balcony door. We tried to warm up the room with the airconditioner but the maximum it can go is 30...

We stayed at Sengokuhara Shinanoki Ichinoyu for 2 nights during June 2010. We had 3 adults and 1 three years old so the room we got was a bit small but the central reservation centre did warn us about it. This is probably one of the cheapest place in the Hakone area if you are looking for a private outdoor... More

Very nice room with the private bath at the balcony. Big room and very comfortable bed in Japanese style. Breakfast and dinner. not as good as expected. But their own made tofu was very good. Quiet location.
