We had the superior room with private onsen. While we did not have the beautiful patio view of our friends on the upper floors, the first floor offered private decks with the onsen we used 5 times in one day. It has fencing around for privacy but the stars shone bright at night from the onsen. Outdoor shower as well. Loved the traditional floors, Japanese attire provided for us to use indoors, at all meals, and in the huge extensive gorgeous garden. Indoor ryokan common area shoes and bathroom shoes as well were provided. I thought the kaiseki meals might leave us hungry and be too small like artistic French food. Not at all! While it was gorgeously presented in several rounds, by the end we were absolutely completely and utterly stuffed at both our breakfast and dinner meals both days. All 4 of us were blown away by the quality and amount of food. When breakfast rolled around, we were not yet hungry as we ate so much in the private Ryokan dinner. Yet we finished our breakfasts anyway to honor the chef and fully enjoy this kaiseki presentation. On a different note, there was certainly some street noise as the Ryokan is close to the road, but not a big deal. Easy access to the bus outside the Ryokan was helpful, plus they had a free shuttle from the Gora station. Photos on their website showing the shuttle stop and directions to is from the station were spot on. Staff was super helpful while not all spoke English or very well. Google translate is great.

Amazing experience! Traditional Japanese Ryokan with a public, private and in-room baths, you feel in another world in this resort. The staff were second to none - always on hand to help you, answer any questions you have, and trying to speak English to help you. And the food was special. If you’re looking for traditional kiseki, then this would be it - made with local ingredients, colourful and special, it is a taste sensation, with a different menu each night too. You can also order either a Japanese or a western breakfast if it’s too much traditional food for you! An overall unforgettable, out of this world experience that you would never get elsewhere. Highly recommended!

This was a lovely and traditional Ryokan. The staff were lovely. Some aspects of the food were amazing and other didn’t quite hit the spot. For example you couldn’t get a coffee with breakfast (even if you chose Western style). The property was a bit “tired” and could do with a facelift especially for the price they charge.

An hotel in the style of a traditional Ryokan, absolutely everything about Mikawaya was exceptional. The decor, rooms, public onsen, meals and staff were amazing. Although it is a little out of the way and up an incline, there are multiple frequent transport options and even a shuttle bus which can take you back and forth from Gora Station. When it was chucking it down with rain this was very convenient. The room was very spacious, comfortable and had all the amenities you could want. The staff were delightful, friendly, polite and helpful. Oh and the food. You need to come here just to experience the food.

Staying here was such an enjoyable, relaxing, and special experience. The breakfast and dinner kaiseki were delicious and allowed us to try a variety of Japanese dishes. It's a lot of food so come to each meal hungry. All the staff we interacted with were kind and very helpful. The indoor and outdoor onsen was the perfect way to unwind after long days exploring the Hakone area. It's also right across from the Horai-en Hakone bus stop if using the Hakone free pass to get around. If you're looking for a romantic and relaxing mountain retreat, this is a great place for you!
