Matsuzakaya Honten

Total number of rooms: 21 | Prices start from US$

Operating since 1662, Matsuzakaya Honten is one of the oldest ryokan in the region. That’s not a typo. This place has been hosting travelers for over 350 years. You’re walking into real history, but with modern updates where it counts. The hotel sits high up on the slopes of Mount Hakone in the Ashinoyu area. That means clear mountain air, silence, and natural hot springs. That’s a big deal in Japan.

Rooms are a mix of tradition and comfort. You’ll get a private bath (some rooms have private open-air onsen), air conditioning, a great mattress, and clean design. This place is shockingly quiet, even when full. The Wi-Fi is strong throughout, the lounge is inviting, and if you’re driving, there’s free parking on site.

The kaiseki dinners are thoughtful and packed with flavor. Guests rave about the beef. You should try it.

Good to know: It’s best for couples, solo travelers, and anyone who needs a break from busy cities.
