Good to stay for a traditional Japanese onsen and bedroom experience. Staff very friendly. If you prefer western style room amenities you may not enjoy. The property and rooms are dated and in need of some renovation even if keeping in traditional Japanese style.

The hotel was really nice, the hot tub in the room was great, we did not use the public baths so I cannot comment on them.
Food was great, good variety and exceptional service.
The only negative thing was the towels in the room were very bad, thread bare and worn, totally different than everything else at the hotel.

We loved our stay at this ryokan in Hakone - it was our favourite stay during a rent Japan trip. This was our first time staying at a ryokan in Japan. We walked from the train station to the ryokan but you must walk about a steep hill with luggage, so yiu need to be fit. I would suggesting calling and tsking advantage of the free shuttle offered by the property. We used the shuttle to go back to the train station. We stayed two nights which was great.
The service was amazing - everyone was so kind and professional. We had our breakfaat and dinner included which was wonderful. The meals were amazing! They did a great job accommodating dietary allergies in our group. The meals were a highlight of our trip. We loved trying all the different Japanese foods. Even the picky eaters in our group found enough to fill them up. We wore the traditional Japanese clothing found in our room to dinner, as did most of the other hotel guestd. We had a choice of dinner times and then enjoyed the onsen after dinner. There were 3 times to chose from for breakfast 7:30 am, 8 am or 8:30 am. We loved the choice.
The bathrooms in the rooms are dated but we never used the bathrooms because we always used the hotel onsens. We had a room without a private onsen and did not feel like we were missing out on anything. There is rooftop onsens that can be booked but we found the temperature of these too hot.
Overall, an amazing stay. I would definitely return again!

This is gorgeous hotel. The staff are so kind, courteous and attentive. My room was spacious, with comfortable bed, stunning mountain views, and of course the Japanese heated toilet seat which is a luxury! The food was delicious. I ate both breakfast and dinner in the hotel restaurant and every little dish was so fresh, interesting and served like beautiful art. The onsen baths are wonderful and relaxing and I enjoyed the sauna as well. Short 10 min walk to the little town center and train station. I liked being away from the shopping street. I felt so taken care of and would definitely stay here again.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The staff were amazing! My family and I felt like kings and queens. The property is charming, clean, private and well taken care of. We had two rooms one with the onsen and one traditional japanese room for our adult children. All four of us cant talk highly enough about our stay and experience here.

This hotel booking included half board. We requested our special needs and we were extremely happy with the meal preparation and presentation. The public bath/onsen was good and so was the private onsen in the room.
The transportation was timely and staff even helped us to load and unload our luggage. Overall very happy with stay and will recommend this hotel to the guests who want to experience upscale japanese hotel experience.

We stayed for one night at Aura Tachibana, and our arrival from Osaka was unfortunately delayed by 3 hours due to a tsunami but we informed the hotel ahead of time and they were very accommodating.
The kaiseki dinner was amazing, so much food and beautifully presented. It was served in the restaurant (not in the rooms) with a lovely view of the mountains.
Our room had a private onsen which was great to have
