This ryokan was amazing (clean and relaxing space, friendly staff, great amenities, spacious dormitory). However, I was searching for an accommodation in Hakone, and didn't expect to travel an additional 1.5+ hours to get from Hakone to Yugawara. If you have the time, I fully recommend this ryokan (the onsen was just what I needed). If you're allocation 1 to 2 days in Hakone, then I would suggest looking at accommodations closer to Lake Ashi.
