Worth weighing
5 to weigh- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only from 15:00 to 17:30, which may be tight if you arrive late.
- No pets allowed — If you travel with a pet, this isn't the place.
- Non-smoking property — Smoking is not permitted anywhere on site.
- Not the cheapest option — Room rates start from $289 per night, which is on the higher side for a 3-star ryokan.
- Some distance from major attractions — Hakone Kowakien Yunessun is a 25-minute walk away, so you may need to plan for extra travel time.
