Who is this ryokan best for?

Recommended stay2 nightsDining and onsen are the strongest stay driver here: arrive early for the grounds and baths, sleep after dinner, then use the second day for Hakone sightseeing without rushing onward travel.
Trip-planning verdict: A strong fit for travelers who want a historic Hakone stay with serious hotel amenities and easy access to core sightseeing, but it is more grand hotel than intimate ryokan.

Know before booking

Not a pure ryokanThis is a historic luxury hotel with some Japanese elements, not a small tatami-focused ryokan experience.
Limited late-night areaMiyanoshita is quiet after dark, so nightlife and evening restaurant-hopping are weak fits.
Public bath rulesTattoo restrictions apply to the public bathing facilities, which may affect some travelers.

Should you choose this ryokan?

This is the historic Fujiya Hotel in Miyanoshita, Hakone, a landmark stay that suits travelers who want heritage, grand architecture, and resort-style facilities rather than an intimate traditional ryokan feel. It is especially appealing if you value atmosphere and on-site amenities, but less ideal if you want a quiet, modern, or budget-friendly hot spring stay.

5 reasons to choose this ryokan best points
  • Historic Hakone iconThe property is one of Hakone’s best-known classic hotels, and the sense of history is part of the stay rather than just decoration. It feels more memorable than a standard luxury hotel if you enjoy old-world character.
  • Beautiful grounds for strollingThe hotel has extensive gardens with seasonal highlights and walking paths, so the grounds themselves become part of your visit. This adds real value if you like slow mornings, photography, or a resort atmosphere.
  • Strong on-site facilitiesFew Hakone properties combine hot spring bathing with extras like a historic indoor pool, fitness center, museum space, and multiple public areas. It works well for travelers who want more to do without leaving the hotel.
  • Good dining varietyThis is a practical choice if you want several dining options in one place rather than a single fixed ryokan meal format. It suits guests who like flexibility and a more hotel-style food experience.
  • Convenient base in MiyanoshitaIts Miyanoshita location makes it a useful base for exploring Hakone while still feeling scenic and elevated. It is easier to pair with sightseeing than a more isolated retreat-style property.
5 reasons not to choose this ryokan watch-outs
  • Not a true ryokan atmosphereEven with hot spring elements, the experience is much more grand historic hotel than intimate ryokan. If you want tatami-centered hospitality and a deeply traditional inn feel, this may miss the mark.
  • Layout can feel sprawlingBecause of the scale and the way the property has evolved over time, some guests find it easy to get turned around. That can reduce the cozy, effortless feeling some travelers want in Hakone.
  • Price reflects the nameYou are paying partly for heritage, architecture, and reputation, not only room size or bath quality. Travelers focused on pure value may find better cost-performance elsewhere in Hakone.
  • Dining may not wow everyoneThe food offering is broad, but guest feedback suggests the dining experience does not always exceed the high expectations created by the hotel’s reputation. This matters more if meals are a main reason for your stay.
  • Shared facilities can lose serenityAs a famous large property, baths and public spaces may feel less tranquil at busy times than smaller luxury inns. If privacy and silence are your top priorities, a boutique ryokan may suit you better.
