Wonderful stay!
Amazing place! The staff was so kind and accommodating. They upgraded our room free of charge. The onsens were peaceful and clean. We got the dinner and breakfast and everything was delicious. We had the Japanese breakfast one day and the western breakfast the second. I would recommend getting meals included as the location is a little remote. We had rain a lot of the time we were there so we were glad we didn’t have to go out. 3 of the 4 taxis we used got lost so you might want to follow along with your phone. Be aware they are very strict about the 4pm checkin but we can leave your luggage in the lobby if you arrive early. I would gladly come back here!!

We really enjoyed our stay at Ajisai Onsen Ryokan. We wanted to experience a Ryokan on our trip and this one was perfect. The onsens were beautiful and relaxing and the staff very polite and accommodating. They really do try to do a little extra and we appreciated that. I highly recommend a stay here. You will not be disappointed.

Great onsen and service
I have visited this ryokan before in a past trip and had a wonderful stay with family, so I had a chance to come back again with friends. As usual, the staff was very professional and accommodating. The onsen was still the highlight and great as I remembered, and the on-site provided dinner and breakfast was incredibly delicious. Strong recommendation when coming to Hakone.

The hotel is small but makes the whole experience more intimate. Nice, super clean, the room was big and comfortable. The staff was great, and the onsen was super nice. And the best part was the dinner. Extraordinary!

The stay at Ajisai Onsen Ryokan was incredible. My family and I had a wonderful time. The staff was very accommodating; they even made food just for us on request at late night. The onsen was clean and relaxing. The experience was enriching, refreshing, and would absolutely go once again. Definitely recommend, look to Ajisai for a great time in Hakone.

We enjoyed the dinner and breakfast. The onsen was not super clean but the facilities in general were. It was hard to get there and back without a cab and calling a cab to leave was a challenge. But overall it was a great experience to try a ryokan!

If you're looking for an inclusive and peaceful onsen, then this is for you! I was traveling through Hakone that allowing both tattoos and mixed genders. When we posted for advice on different travel sites, most people said "you're looking for a unicorn that might not exist, good luck". So when I stumbled across a last minute deal for this ryokan, I wasn't expecting much, even though the reviews and pictures were good. But boy, was I surprised! From the moment we arrived we were blasted by a wave of zen and ease. Our check-in was smooth and the place was very clean and beautiful. We were welcomed with kindness and patience, all of our questions were answered in great English, and we were even upgraded to a free third onsen session (2 evening sessions and 1 morning session). We also decided to get their breakfast add-on and it was worth it. There aren't many restaurants nearby within walking distance and after a long travel day we didn't feel like going anywhere before checking out. Overall, our experience was fantastic! If you're looking for an inclusive private onsen that you can enjoy with your family or significant other, this is it! We can't stop gushing to each other about how perfect our experience was.

Nice ryokan. Just avoid the dinner
The Onsen were wonderful. And on the whole, this ryokan felt very nice. However, we would NOT recommend eating there. The dinner was very expensive and very poor quality. The tempura was old and had been cooked 2 or 3 days ago. Each dish was pretty vile. Also there was a family in the room above ours with extremely noisy children and we could hear everything. Other than that, it was a lovely place
