Who is this ryokan best for?

Recommended stay1-2 nightsAccess is the main driver: arrive by afternoon, soak before dinner, sleep in a tatami room, have breakfast, then continue deeper into Hakone or onward via Hakone-Yumoto. A second night only makes sense if you want a slower Hakone sightseeing rhythm without changing hotels.
Trip-planning verdict: Best used as a 1-night or light 2-night Hakone onsen stop for travelers who want simple traditional lodging near Ohiradai Station, not a luxury retreat or long-stay base.

Know before booking

Not luxury levelChoose it for value and onsen convenience, not polished high-end ryokan service or premium design.
Limited local actionOhiradai is a quiet stop with little nightlife or dense restaurant choice around the inn.
Bath setup variesBaths are a key draw, but privacy style and bath arrangement should be confirmed before booking.

Should you choose this ryokan?

Manten-no-Hoshi appears to be a small budget-friendly onsen ryokan in Ohiradai, Hakone, suited to travelers who want a simpler traditional stay rather than a polished luxury experience. It is a practical base with hot-spring appeal, but recent guest sentiment suggests you should keep expectations modest on upkeep and consistency.

5 reasons to choose this ryokan best points
  • Walkable from Ohiradai StationThis ryokan is in Ohiradai, which makes it more convenient than many hillside Hakone stays if you plan to move around by train. That can be a real advantage for short stays without a car.
  • Private onsen atmosphereThe property is known for offering hot-spring bathing in a smaller, more intimate setting than large resort hotels. That suits travelers who want a quieter, less crowded ryokan feel.
  • Good fit for value-focused Hakone staysHakone can be expensive, and this ryokan is typically positioned as a lower-cost traditional option in the area. It can work well if your priority is experiencing a ryokan and onsen without paying luxury prices.
  • Small-scale traditional characterWith only a limited number of rooms, the stay feels more personal and less corporate than big chain-style properties. Travelers looking for tatami-room charm over modern resort polish may enjoy that.
  • Useful base for central Hakone sightseeingFrom Ohiradai, it is relatively easy to reach spots such as the Open-Air Museum and other central Hakone attractions by rail or short drive. It works well as a base if you plan to spend most of the day out exploring.
5 reasons not to choose this ryokan watch-outs
  • Not a luxury ryokan experienceThis is better approached as a simpler, older-style inn than a refined high-end ryokan. If you want premium design, elevated kaiseki dining, or polished service throughout, it may disappoint.
  • Mixed feedback on upkeepGuest sentiment indicates that maintenance and overall condition can feel uneven. Travelers sensitive to dated interiors or wear-and-tear may find the property less comfortable than photos suggest.
  • Dining may feel limitedThis is not the kind of ryokan widely known for a destination-level food experience. If your Hakone stay revolves around memorable in-house meals, other ryokans are likely to be stronger.
  • Less convenient for lake-area Hakone plansAlthough useful for central Hakone, it is not right by Lake Ashi or Hakone Shrine. If those areas are your main focus, you may spend more time in transit than expected.
  • Experience can be inconsistentThis ryokan seems to deliver best for travelers who prioritize price and location over consistency. If you want a reliably polished stay with few surprises, this may feel risky.
