Fantastic experience staying here with wife and friend. The staff are very polite and professional. The onsens are relaxing. The autumn view from our room was absolutely gorgeous, as was the view from the dining area. The food was excellent, always filling. Quick walk from Gora Station but even quicker to use the next station up if you are taking the cable car to Owakudani/Lake Ashi.

We had a very memorable experience here and were really impressed with the cleanliness and comfort provided by the staff.

I enjoyed my two night stay and my only regret is that I didn't arrive before 6:30pm the 1st night for a wonderful dinner like the one I had on the 2nd night. Location is walking distance from the Gora Train station yet far enough away to feel secluded.

The property is a charming ryoken with simple amenities that is nestled in the mountains with beautiful views from the room. We slept comfortably on futons in our traditional tatami rooms.The kaiseki meals were amazing so didn't miss out on that experience. They have a private onsen during the evening that you can reserve and a men's and women's bath available . We enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere and friendly staff who spoke English.

We were a little nervous at first about visiting a ryokan as we wanted to do things correctly and were unsure on how everything worked, but as soon as we arrived all the staff put us at ease and talked us through hows things worked at every stage. We had a great stay, amazing rooms and views and the food was incredible. Brilliant service, thank you so much for making us feel so welcome.

Amazing service and fab for families

I stayed with my two kids 9 and 13 and they loved it. Amazing place with lovely people that staff it, we enjoyed being able to book the private onsen for half hour on the first night and although we couldn’t book it for the second (no times suitable as we had a early morning check out) we got to try their public onsen which was great too. The food is fabulous if you are up for trying different things but I would say it’s a lot of food so don’t eat too much for lunch! Both my kids have peanut allergy and one is also allergic to shrimp, they were very accommodating just let them know when you book in. Dinner is at 6pm and breakfast served at 8am, don’t sleep in otherwise they’ll call you at 8.10am to call you to come down! I thoroughly recommend this place 😊

Excellent little ryokan

The hotel was a bit of a trek to get to from Gora station, especially with kids and a lot of luggage. We certainly got a good workout heading there. (The website says to get off at a different stop for an easier walk but because of the typhoon in October, the cable car was damaged so we had to take a replacement bus which brought us to Gora.). However, once we got there, we loved the place. We were travelling with 3 families and it was perfect. The Onsen facilities were wonderful, and the access to a private half hour slot for the Onsen was a great bonus. The tatami beds were so comfortable and both the dinner and breakfast offered high quality food in abundance. The service was excellent in every way. Overall, it was a relaxing and fun stay and we all agreed that we would stay there again in the future.

Serene stay at this boutique styl hot spring hotel

The hotel is very close to Koen Shimo cable car station (less than 5 min walk). Food was amazing (traditional Japanese banqurt style dinner and breakfast included), and service was very attractive throughout my stay. They are very caring to my 8 month old son too. The view of the mountain outside of the lobby n room is spectacular and peaceful. The onsen are perfect and bonus that we get to book the outdoor onsen as private for 30 min each day. Very serene to soak in their onsen and that is definitely the best amenity of this onsen ryokan. They only have 8 to 9 rooms so service is very personal and enthusiastic!

Stayed for one night at Lalaca and wished we could have stayed longer. The ryokan is located about two blocks away from Gora and Koen-Shimo Station. Room and hot springs are clean and provide all the necessary ammenities (soap, shampoo, toothbrush) plus more, with skin care lines provided in room for both males and females. The traditional dinner and breakfast were tasty and filling, enjoyed with a nice view of the mountains and in a comfortable yukata. There is also luggage service available to send your luggage to/from Hakone-Yumamoto Station. Most importantly, the staff is warm, welcoming and extremely accommodating. I would definitely stay here again.

Lovely Lalaca Honeymoon

Our stay at Lalaca was the highlight of our honeymoon. From the minute you step through the door it’s a relaxing paradise. Dinner there was one of the best of the entire trip; it was 7 courses long! Breakfast was also a treat, but the highlight was the private onsen! You get 30 minutes to yourself in their naturally occurring onsen with the best view. The rooms are amazing and the staff couldn’t have been nicer. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Simply amazing. Staying at Lalaca was the one part of our budget trip to Japan that we splurged on and we are so glad we did. Some highlights below:

- LOCATION: Unlike other listings that we saw around the Hakone area, Lalaca is located in Gora, which is where the famous Hakone Tazon Cablecar to Hakone Ropeway starts. In the morning we were able to catch the cablecar before the rush of people since we didn't have to ride the Hakone Tazon Railway into town (45 min trip one-way). The Open Air Museum and Gora Park are also within walking distance of Lalaca, which are must-sees if you are in the area.

- FACILITIES/STAFF: We're unsure why a lot of the reviews comment on the dated facilities and interiors. Everything was extremely clean and beautiful. As a traditional ryokan, we were glad that they kept the more traditional interiors instead of upgrading it to look like some of the more modern/sleek ryokans that we saw in different listings. The staff were so attentive and as there are only 8 guest rooms, it was always quiet and peaceful. I also lost my Hakone Free Pass somewhere in the lobby and the staff put it aside for me at the reception desk for me to find the next morning. I was sure I had lost it!

- FOOD: As stated by all the previous reviews, the food was amazing. Even though everything came in tiny dishes (and beautifully presented) in the end we were actually struggling to finish the last few bites.

A traditional experience in the beautiful mountains. We enjoyed a substantial 6-7 course dinner of Japanese cuisine which was included in the overnight price. The osen baths were clean and relaxing, there was wifi, a tv and complimentary tea and snacks in the room. The only downside was the uphill walk from the train station (no transfer from the hotel). The staff were excellent and we would recommend all our friends to stay here!

Excellent ryokan close to centre of Hakone Gora

Only stayed only one night, but was great experience
Excellent multi-course traditional Japanese dinner and breakfast.
Able to book Onsen for private use for 30 mins (per room) in the evening after dinner.
Very serene atmosphere
Very helpful and welcoming staff.

Close to GORA, so easy to access cablecar (funicular railway) and then onto the ropeway (cablecar).
You can do the circuit around GORA on GORA 2 day Gora Free pass in just one day if you start mid-morning. Best option is cablecar, ropeway, boat trip, and then back reverse (boat, ropeway, cablecar), but you can complete circuit faster by bus.(cablecar, ropeway, boat trip, bus back to GORA station). The boat trip starting from ropeway end misses out the Tori by lake, so better to reverse steps. hotel, cablecar, ropeway, boat trip there and back, ropeway, cablecar, hotel).
Nice walk through gardens of Hakone Museum of Art moss garden and then through GORA Park, if you go up cablecar one stop from hotel and walk back downhill to hotel.

Location was great, near to Gora station and instructions on website was good enough to help us find our way.

The staff attitude was great and very helpful, The Japanese food offered during dinner and breakfast was rich, interesting and delicious. The public onsen was great experience and the outdoor onsen offered private bath for me and my wife. The onsen was well equipped and spoiling.
However, the facade of the room and the dining room both looked a bit \"tired\" .

I would recommend it.

The only major con was that during our stay there was a very loud and disrespectful guest group (one family) who made dinner/breakfast time and the visit to the onsen unpleasant.
that group also kept us up with the noise.
it's not an easy situation to manage, though I feel the owner should have done something.

Lovely food, private Onsen.

Traditional Japanese Inn, lovely food and outlook. Pretty big hill from Gora to Lalaca, so make sure you climb aboard the cable car, it's the first stop from Gora and well worth the 80yen per person.
The building and amenities are definitely showing signs of age, that doesn't take away from the experience. The one thing the owners need to do is buy some new towels, the old brown towels supplied, were threadbare and really not very nice, especially when you are showering and using Onsen on the same day.

Great Hospitality and food

we stayed three nights at Lalaca before returning home after 12 days in Japan. the hospitality is brilliant, dinners are Japanese style and if you don't eat fish make sure to let them know when booking as they need to prepare dinner in advance. we had a Japanese style room with private toilet. was showing its age but was comfortable and clean. we thoroughly enjoyed sleeping on the tatami and experiencing a Japanese style hotel. private onsen is available too..as there are no private showers you probably will be using this unless you want to use the public onsen.

A great getaway

Lalaca as a Ryokan is a special place, when your there it feels like your in a 80's future modern building, part colours, part carpet, part decor, this wasn't a bad thing at all. With huge glass walls looking outside to the beautiful greenery, it was a peaceful escape.

The staff were curetous and pleasant to talk with. They were eager to please and a great help. We were able to drop of our luggage and continue on our way on the hakone loop with our hakone free pass.

When we arrived we also booked the private onsen for a half hour time slot which was more than enough. It was a beautiful outdoor onsen with milky water. It felt great to relax during our tiring travels. There was also men's bathing and onsens as well as women's.

The food was special here. The courses laid out in front of us, it was hard to decide where to start. It was all delicious and fresh. It was all presented beautifully. And the staff was eager to explain what each dish was and how to eat it.

The location is a trek uphill from the station, however if your able to go up the ropeway one stop, it's quite the easy trek down.

The room that we had was beautiful, huge Windows overlooking the trees and gardens. Spacious, with lots of rooms. They provided yukata's for our stay and the tatami beds were very comfortable. We also had a private toilet attached to our room.

The staff was able to prepare our beds for us while we were at dinner. And cleaned up and stored the beds while we were at breakfast. It

A highlight of our trip in Japan!

This was one of the highlights of our trip in Japan. We opted for a Tatami room (with breakfast and dinner included) and it was an amazing experience! It is a small but super comfortable hotel. The room is quite big, even for western standards.
The breakfast and dinner are fabulous, served in around six different courses. But beware that it is a typical Japanese meal and maybe some people may not be used to the food offered. Some people in the table besides our kept complaining about every aspect of the food. So, if you cannot accept different kinds of food, maybe this is not for your.
Another highlight was the free 30 min private onsen! The onsen is in a terrace, so you can enjoy the nice mountain view while inside the onsen. At first I thought 30 min would be too few, but finally it was just enough.
Overall a great stay!

Der Ryokan ist eine gute Wahl, wenn man Hakone erkunden möchte. Die Unterkunft sieht von Außen zwar nicht nach einem klassischen Ryokan aus bietet aber ansonsten den gleichen besonderen Service. Das Frühstück und Abendessen besteht aus mehreren Gängen die wirklich sehr sättigend und vielfältig sind. Während unserers Aufenthalts gab es immer andere Gerichte. Die Getränke beim Essen kosten extra, wobei Wasser wahrscheinlich kostenlos wäre. Der Onsen war sehr schön und das Wasser stammt von den lokalen Quellen auf dem Berg Owakudani. Es ist trüblich weiß aufgrund der Mineralien des Wassers. Das Zimmer war sehr geräumig und gemütlich. Das Personal war stets freundlich und hilfsbereit.

Small Ryokan

First of all, this is small ryokan only 7 rooms. People called it dated accommodation but it's just the way we like it. We don't want brand new ryokan, we want something old but clean and well maintained.

How to get there?
From Hakone Yumoto Station take Hakone Tozan Train, you can bring your big luggages inside just fine. Drop at Gora Station then take Hakone Tozan Cable Car. Take the cable car and get out on OH 58 Koen-Shimo. Go downstair a little bit, there is a T section right in front. Go right and walk about 100 metres, take right on 2nd intersection. It's going down hill about 20-30 metres. Or just use google map. This is the best way and shortest way if you carry big luggages with you like us. You don't need to carry your luggages up hill 40 degree up, it's very challenging.

Onsen
They actually have 3 baths, 2 baths are public men and women, they switched them at certain time. As usual you notice it from the blue and pink flag. There is another one which is private onsen in which you book early when you check in and you have 30 minutes of private onsen. It's semi outdoor but without shower so you, first, take a show in the public onsen and then get inside the private onsen. A little bit ackward but it's alright.

On this particular onsen, the water is whitish due to strong content of sulfur. I guess it's near owakudani.

Food
Absolutely fantastic, it's art and delicious. Come empty, it's big dinner and breakfast. Try Yumesho and Hakone Beer.

Nous sommes allés nous promener l'après midi, puis nous sommes revenu vers 17h45 car le repas commence à 18h/18h15, j'aurai aimé pouvoir venir un peu plus tard mais bon tant pis !
Pendant que nous mangeons un vrai repas de roi, le personnel part installer les futons dans la chambre. Pour en revenir au repas, avant de commencer votre séjour, le personnel vous envoie un mail afin de savoir si vous avez des allergies, ou des aliments que vous n'aimez pas et j'ai beaucoup apprécié cette intention. Le repas est vraiment copieux et très, très, très bon ! Petit conseil, ne mangez pas avant ! Le petit déjeuner est tout aussi excellent !
Nous avons aussi pu vivre l'expérience Onsen + douche public. Bien qu'au début j'étais réticente à me laver en public, finalement on se rend compte assez vite que pour eux c'est \"normal' et personne ne vous regarde ! Vous n'avez donc pas à vous sentir gêné !
Pour en revenir aux futons ils sont vraiment agréables, surtout pour mon dos fragile et c'est la meilleure nuit que j'ai passé au Japon ! Je rajouterai une chose pour ceux qui se pose la question, les wc sont dans la chambre :)

랄라카 이용후기

가이세키가 맛있었고~ 직원들이 매우 친절 하였습니다.
탕이 크지는 않았지만 온천물도 좋고 9팀만 이용하는 작은 료칸이라 조용하고 좋았습니다~1월에라 살짝 방이 추웠고 물은 아주 뜨거워서 아주 어린아이는 한겨울에는 가지 않는것이 좋을거 같습니다. 대중교통으로 가기 좀 멀기때문에 짐이 많거나 아이가 있으시면 렌트를 추천드립니다. 휴식에 적합한, 가격대비 훌륭한 곳인것 같습니다

距離車站不遠，遊箱根必到的地點。酒店服務人員有禮、貼心，會在你晚飯時才替你鋪床，早餐時收好床鋪，又為你介紹食物和食法。酒店乾淨舒適，更設有私人露天風呂時間，非常值得推薦。

Japanisches erlebnis

Relativ wenige Zimmer, dafür schöner Onsen, auch ein privater Bereich zu zweit. Sehr freundliches Personal. Mobiliar etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Vom Bahnhof zum Hotel geht der Weg recht steil bergauf, das ist mit Gepäck mühsam. Hilfreich wäre ein Shuttlebus wie bei anderen Hotels gesehen. Sehr feines Dinner!

急な坂の途中にある宿で、車で行くにはとても行きづらい場所だった。施設はとても綺麗にしていて、オーナーさんもとても人柄の良さそうな方、お料理も美味しかったです。ただ、外国のホテルサイトに掲載しているのか、外国人が異様に多かったので、あまり落ち着かなかった。ホテルのための施設というよりも、別荘を改装したようなかんじだった。
