Ryokan highlights

A well-located Hakone Yumoto ryokan known for riverside scenery, abundant hot spring baths, and easy station access.

Walkable Station AccessAbout five minutes on foot from Hakone-Yumoto Station, convenient for arrivals and sightseeing.
Riverside SettingSet beside the Hayakawa River with mountain scenery that adds a calm Hakone atmosphere.
Abundant Hot SpringsKnown for generous hot spring flow, supporting spacious baths and a classic onsen stay.
Open-Air BathingLarge public baths and open-air baths make the onsen experience a key draw.
Traditional MealsJapanese cuisine with seasonal ingredients is a recurring highlight for ryokan-style stays.
Good Hakone BaseCentral Yumoto location works well for shopping, transit connections, and wider Hakone touring.

Who is this ryokan best for?

Recommended stay1-2 nightsStation access and the riverside onsen setting are the strongest drivers here: arrive from Tokyo or Odawara, check in by mid-afternoon, soak before dinner, enjoy the kaiseki meal, sleep in tatami-style comfort, then use the next day for Hakone-Yumoto strolling or a loop deeper into Hakone before moving on. A second night works if you want one full sightseeing day without rushing baths and meals.
Trip-planning verdict: Best used for a 1-2 night Hakone onsen stay with easy station access, not as a long regional base.

Know before booking

Weak long-stay baseGood for short Hakone rhythms, but many travelers will run out of easy nearby variety after two nights.
Dinner timing mattersTraditional dinner service has set start times, so late arrival can reduce the value of the ryokan stay.
Not deeply secludedIt feels scenic and traditional, but it is still in Hakone-Yumoto rather than an isolated mountain retreat.

Food & drinks

Should you choose this ryokan?

A strong pick for travelers who want a classic Hakone-Yumoto stay with river scenery, multiple room types, and easy access from the station area. It is less ideal if you want a small intimate ryokan, a very late check-out, or a highly secluded mountain setting.

5 reasons to choose this ryokan best points
  • Riverside Hakone-Yumoto settingThe hotel sits by the Hayakawa River in Hakone-Yumoto, which gives many stays a more scenic and relaxing atmosphere than a standard town hotel. It suits travelers who want water views and easy access to the main gateway area of Hakone.
  • Good range of bath-equipped roomsKajikaso offers several upgraded room categories with open-air or hot spring baths, including Japanese-style and Japanese-Western layouts. That makes it easier to match the stay to your comfort level instead of being limited to one premium room type.
  • Solid choice for a full ryokan meal experienceThe property emphasizes seasonal kaiseki-style dinners and Japanese breakfasts, with menus built around local and regional ingredients. This is appealing if the meal experience is part of why you are booking a ryokan in the first place.
  • Convenient for mixed travel stylesWith 74 rooms and many facilities, it works for couples, families, and even groups better than a tiny traditional inn. Travelers who want ryokan atmosphere without giving up practical conveniences may find that balance useful.
  • Extra on-site facilities beyond the basicsThe hotel includes amenities such as a natural hot spring footbath, relaxation salon, gift shop, karaoke rooms, and free parking. That gives you more to do on-site than at many simpler ryokan properties.
5 reasons not to choose this ryokan watch-outs
  • More hotel-like than intimateBecause Kajikaso is a fairly large property, it may feel less personal and less exclusive than a small boutique ryokan. If you want a highly private, deeply traditional atmosphere, this may not be the best fit.
  • Early departure rhythmCheck-out is at 10:00 am, which can make the stay feel short, especially if you are only visiting for one night. Slow-morning travelers may find the schedule a bit restrictive.
  • Not every room has a private bathThe hotel has several room categories, but the more special open-air or hot spring bath rooms are only certain types. Booking a standard room may lead to a less distinctive experience than the photos of the premium rooms suggest.
  • Busy facility mix may reduce quietnessKajikaso has banquet spaces, karaoke rooms, lounges, and other group-friendly facilities, so the atmosphere can be livelier than at a serene adults-focused retreat. Travelers seeking pure silence may prefer a smaller property.
  • Less secluded than deeper Hakone staysIts Hakone-Yumoto location is practical, but it does not deliver the same remote mountain escape feeling as ryokan farther into Hakone. If your priority is isolation and dramatic highland scenery, this address is a compromise.
