Could not praise this location enough, besides the long hike uphill if you are dropped off at the local station. The scenery is breathtaking, the hotel was wonderful, the amenities and accommodation the hotel/staff provide is outstanding. The breakfast buffet had an array of delicious items to choose from while providing a lovely view of nature. Same goes for the room, plenty of space, clean. If I am ever in Hakone, I will definitely be returning.

Staying at Hakone Okada with my brother in late March was one of the highlights of our Japan trip. Our room overlooked a cherry‑blossom‑filled valley, and the view alone felt like something out of a painting. The private open‑air onsen attached to our room made it even better — soaking in the hot spring water while looking out over the sakura was unforgettable.

The public onsen was just as impressive. As first‑time onsen visitors, we were a bit nervous, but the space was beautifully designed, easy to navigate, and very foreigner‑friendly. It turned what could’ve been intimidating into a genuinely relaxing and memorable experience.

The staff were incredibly friendly, always welcoming and helpful, and the food was excellent — a perfect match for the atmosphere of the ryokan.

Overall, Hakone Okada delivered everything we hoped for and more. We’ll definitely be returning!

We were really disappointed with our stay. Since there aren’t many dining options nearby, we ended up eating at the hotel buffet — which cost about $40 per person. Unfortunately, the food quality was poor. I’m not exaggerating when I say that half of it was cold — cold soup, cold pancakes, even the hot dishes weren’t warm. Definitely not worth the price, and it feels like they take advantage of the lack of nearby options.

Our room also had a strong, unpleasant odor that didn’t go away during our stay.

On top of that, the process for booking a private onsen was frustrating. We were told the only available slot was at 10 p.m., which doesn’t work for a family with a baby. Our 10-month-old wasn’t allowed to join my wife, so we couldn’t enjoy it together as a family. None of this was clearly explained before booking, and it made the experience far less relaxing or enjoyable than we expected.

Overall, poor communication and value for the price. Wouldn’t recommend for families or anyone expecting a traditional, comfortable ryokan experience.

We booked the room with in room hot spring. When we walked in the bathroom, the hot spring tub and the wooden flooring was all black. Looks very unappealing and feels dirty and it has a wet wood smell to the entire room. We immediately went to the front desk and paid extra to switched to another room with no hot spring tub. Not worth it to book a room with the hot spring when you can’t even enjoy because of the unkept condition. Better off booking a western style no hot spring room and enjoy the public onsen. Hotel is very dated and we saw cockroaches crawling in the hallways. Staffs are very friendly and helpful!

Onsens were very nice at hotel. Didn’t feel the need to visit private onsens. Food options at hotel are extremely overpriced. Game room was very disappointing. You need to pay to reserves a ping pong table….. Room was very nice and private onsen was decent. Location is decent. Shuttle bus to train station is not available later at night and requires money. Onsens do a lot of heavy lifting for this rating. Besides the room + onsen not anything re-deeming about hotel.

The hot springs were wonderful. There is a hotel around the corner that Okada shares use of the rooftop hot springs, and that is absolutely worth a visit. It was beautiful up there, albeit a little hard to find off the 8th floor side entrance and you walk up a hill to the other building. If you can spring for the room with the hot spring tub in it, def do that. We did this for our 2nd night there, and it was a big bonus to the experience. The rooms are great and the quintessential Japanese experience (at least it seemed so to us). The buffet food was great, but the price is very high per person. That was our most expensive meal of the entire 10-day trip. If we were to do it again, we’d have done the buffet once for convenience, but gone to a local restaurant instead for the 2nd night. Heads-up - even if you buy a beer from the vending machine in the hallway outside the buffet…you can’t drink it inside. We bought one from the machine and tried to drink it but got scolded like criminals even though we bought in the hallway. Maybe the restaurant is separately run, but just a heads-up. Don’t make the same mistake. They have a convenient shuttle bus that goes straight to the train station/center of town where you can get the Romance Car back to Shinjuku or a trains onto the Hakone Cable Car / Ropeway. We’d stay here again for sure.

Location is an older location but very well maintained. Appreciated the breakfast's buffet variety and available facilities.

We were there for a single overnight stay but definitely is worthy of a 2 or 3 night stay to relax.

Line for the shuttle can get long with all the hotels that are serviced.

A traditional hotel with an abundance of old-world charm. We were so impressed by how well-maintained and clean this hotel was, as well as the warm friendly greetings we regularly received from staff who were positioned throughout the front lobby. Service and hospitality were top class. Buffet breakfast and dinner were great – a wide variety of choices were available. Family members with dietary requirements were generally able to find something that suited them and food was well-labelled. Visited Hakone for the woodwork (Yosegi Zaiku) rather than the hot springs so unfortunately cannot comment on the onsens. The walk from Hakone-Yumoto Station to the hotel can easily be done in around 20-30 minutes depending on how quickly you go. It is a very pleasant walk especially along the Sukumo River. However, if you are carrying a lot of luggage, a taxi would be the better option. Overall, this was a beautiful, well-run establishment and we really enjoyed our stay here.

The highlight of my experience was the hotel's Japanese Garden.

It was the perfect place to relax and unwind after a busy day, offering both tranquility and beauty.

Grateful to be able to experience such an array of amazing food. 20/10 would recommend this place to stay. The service was lovely.

Wow! This was by far my family’s favourite hotel we stayed at on our trip to Japan. Right from booking, the staff at Hotel Okada were amazing. They were always quick to respond to my questions, and when we arrived at the hotel they were welcoming and very helpful. We loved the buffet so much. So many options to choose from, we had two dinners and two breakfasts and my partner said he could have eaten there for a week. Of course our favourite part was our room. Both my partner and I are pretty heavily tattooed, so we booked a room with a private open air onsen and it was like heaven. So relaxing after the hustle and bustle of Tokyo, and our room overlooked the mountain and river. My daughter asked if we could just stay there for the rest of the trip. The western/traditional style room was soo cool, and perfectly equipped as well as clean. The cherry on top of it all were the traditional pjs and yakuta that each of got to wear. I honestly can’t speak highly enough of this hotel. Yes it is older, but it had everything I imagined when dreaming about one day going to a ryokan hotel.

I like the large room and breakfast buffet is way better than American continental. Foot bath and public onsen is also good experience. The only inconvenient part is that hotel is 25 min walk uphill. The suttle is limited with earliest 9:20 and latest 4:45. Otherwise you can take the taxi from the station for about 900 yen around probably before 6pm. We couldn’t reserve taxi around 8:30am but walk downhill with luggage is not bad vs walk uphill.
