The most memorable experience. A stay at a Japanese ryokan is the ultimate Japanese experience, it’s not cheap, but this inn is worth every penny. You are treated as part of the family from the moment you check in. The included dinner and breakfast are exquisite, a feast for the eye and culinary journey. This ryokan has larger rooms than the other ryokan I have been, and I love the private onsen option if you are not ready for the public Japanese onsen experience. The only complaint is that I cannot stay longer.

I would love to rate Matsuzakaya Honten more than 5 stars, 10000 stars for our time here. It was the highlight of our trip. One of the most magical days I have ever seen when we arrived in the pouring rain. It is tucked away in the mountains, peaceful, relaxing, and beautiful. The staff are wonderful and I loved making friends with Suzuki and our server. They are all kind people who make you feel welcome! The baths are all beautiful and the food exquisite. An easy bus ride down to Lake Ashi for some wonderful sight seeing of Mount Fuji. I hopefully will return one day to matsuzakaya honten!

Amazing experience
From the check in to check out the entire experience was wonderful. The staff are so friendly and helpful and the facilities are excellent. The room was very big and traditional, and the private onsen was relaxing and always available (we used it twice). Dinner and breakfast was also very traditional and a fun change from ramen, sushi, etc. The grounds are very well maintained and photogenic. Is definitely worth the trip to stay here and it’s way to find using the bus from Odawara Station.

Amazing Ryokan
Recently, I had the pleasure of staying at Matsuzakaya Honten in Hakone, Japan, and I must say, it was an experience to remember. Nestled in the heart of Hakone’s picturesque landscapes, Matsuzakaya Honten is a perfect blend of traditional Japanese hospitality and modern comfort. From the moment I arrived, the staff’s warm welcome made me feel like royalty. Their attention to detail and eagerness to ensure a comfortable stay was commendable. The room was a delightful surprise, marrying traditional Japanese aesthetics with the luxury and convenience of modern amenities. Sleeping on a futon in a tatami room was an authentic experience that transported me to a bygone era of samurai and shoguns. The onsen (hot spring bath) deserves a special mention. Soaking in the thermal waters with a view of Hakone’s serene nature was therapeutic and a highlight of my stay. It was the perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring the nearby attractions, like the Hakone Open Air Museum and the Owakudani Valley. Dining at the hotel was another unforgettable experience. The kaiseki dinner, a multi-course meal featuring local and seasonal ingredients, was a culinary journey through Japanese cuisine’s flavors and traditions. Each dish was a work of art, both in presentation and taste. I would absolutely visit again if I were to travel back. 10/10

Loved the service and care taken to preparing our meals. The stay was wonderful and many of the amenities were provided to make an enjoyable stay. The staff were very attentive and incredibly helpful to ensure we had a wonderful stay. Though the place had many amenities, it is farther away from convenience stores and the town. Overall an amazing stay and I wish I had allotted another day to fully enjoy!

9.99 --> Here's why... The establishment is immaculate. Unexpected value at every turn with an impeccably hospitable staff. The onsen quality is superb and the kaiseki dinners are exquisite. Everything about the space is conducive to restfulness and relaxation. The ONE drawback was the massages. They were VERY poor. I expected a high quality massage at a place like this but they contract out MTs who lack skill. My fiancé and I received some of the worst massages we've ever had. Skip the massages and enjoy an otherwise FANTASTIC stay. Would stay again without even looking at other places.
