The staff is very nice but the property is old, cramped and humid. A strong smell of mold in the room prevents from a good night sleep. To be avoided

Exceptional traditional ryokan if you want to relax in Hakone & Yugawara! The thoughtfulness and service of the staff was wonderful in every aspect. Rooms were supplied with traditional robes, comfortable sleepwear, onsen on our terrace and hot spring baths. Kaiseki cuisine was delicious, plentiful and presentation was over the top. This is a beautiful facility with an excellent staff. If you want to experience Japanese culture at its finest you need to come here. Our 4 day visit was perfect and worth every penny. We will be back!

Ryokan with exceptional cuisine
We stayed at Tsubaki twice before in the last 15 years. The ryokan has several areas feeling dated but what made up for it was the best kaiseki dinner served. Food was amongst the best in all the famous ryokans we have stayed before in Japan.

It was an amazing experience to stay at the Tsubaki. Staff were very welcoming and nice. They spoke enough english to accommodate all your needs. Food was very good, wifi was fast, and the Onsen is amazing. We stay at a room with private outdoor Onsen and that was top notch. Highly recommend this place if a quite retreat is what you are looking for. The only downside is the fact that this place isn't in Hakone, and the transportation to Hakone could be a bit difficult.

Family vacation Japan
We had an amazing experience and couldn't be happier with the experience. The staff were amazing and the location and the rooms were so perfect. We had amazing food and we had a private onsen as well as access to the public onsen. We had shiatsu massages that were great and very reasonably priced. We had misplace a JR rail pass and the staff went to great efforts in getting it back to us after they discovered it. Great cultural experience and a wonderful stay.

Expensive and run down
The staff were wonderful but the hotel itself is very run down and if you’re not used to this type of experience you will be surprised that there is almost no where to sit in your room, yet really nowhere else to go. All of the furniture and furnishings are very run down, the carpets are stained etc. I would not complain but for the very expensive price tag of over $800 US. I was extremely disappointed in the quality of the hotel. In addition, the food had been prepared previously and refrigerated and was nothing to get excited about.

Very nice service and staff. Food was really terrific and authentic Japanese ryokan experience. Condition was not great - carpet soiled and smelled musty. Location was hard to get to - and not close to anything to walk to

施設は古いが、これは致し方ないことであり、いかに清潔に保つかであるが、十分満足できました。 最近の宿はレストランでの食事が多く、部屋食は珍しくなっています。 デザートまでのタイミングは非常に満足できましたが、デザート下げるのが少し遅かったです。 全体的には非常にまんぞくしていますが、唯一泉質については若干劣るかと思いました。(部屋の露天風呂は加水、加温で、循環です)

奥湯河原でとても静かにゆっくりと過ごせました!  露天内風呂がついており、大浴場のほか自由に好きな時間に温泉に浸かることができ、お料理の味も美味でてても良かったです。  部屋に設置されている冷蔵庫のドリンク無料サービスやアメニティも一通り揃っており、メイク落としや洗顔・化粧水・乳液が整っていても手ぶらで訪れすことができ、嬉しかったです。  値段が値段なだけにサービスに完璧を求め過ぎてしまったかもしれませんが、お食事をサーブしてくださった仲居さんが提供時間や飲み物の聞き間違いが数回あったので、聞く際にメモをとって確認を行えばよいのに、、、と感じまして、それだけが残念でした。
