YUPOPPO Hakone

Friendly host. Onsen.

Breakfast.

Il nostro viaggio ad Hakone non ha rispettato le nostre aspettative per via del maltempo. Ma il nostro alloggio a Yupoppo è valso da solo il nostro viaggio fin lì. Relax assoluto nell'onsen privato ed in camera con tatami e futon circondati dal verde del bosco limitrofo. Una particolare nota di merito va a Dai, il proprietario, ed anche alla sua famiglia. Che con estrema cura e gentilezza hanno reso il nostro alloggio un'esperienza speciale. (A soli 7 minuti dalla fermata dell'autobus, ci si sposta facilmente. Ordine e pulizia dell'alloggio impeccabili)

La gentillesse de notre hôte, les onsens privés, le petit-déjeuner, le lieu calme et apaisant, l’expérience était vraiment unique !!

Si quieres alejarte del bullicio de la gran ciudad y disfrutar del Japón rural, el ryokan Yupoppo en el área de Hakone es como estar en una película de Ghibli. Duermes en el futón sobre el tatami, con ventanas de madera y papel, y cada día puedes relajarte en el onsen privado de aguas termales. Su anfitrión prepara el desayuno cada mañana y es muy hospitalario, incluso nos llevó a ver luciérnagas una noche. También vimos pasar un ciervo, un anaguma, y algunos animales más. Se puede ir andando al pueblo de Sengokuhara donde hay varios restaurantes de comida típica de la región como el tonkatsu de cerdo al carbón. También está muy cerca la parada del autobús para ir al lago Ashi, al Museo al Aire Libre de Hakone (con un montón de esculturas y un pabellón de Picasso), o al increíble Museo Pola (con una colección de impresionismo y arte contemporáneo, y una obra de arte arquitectónica en sí mismo). Una experiencia única y relajante, muy recomendable.

La propreté des chambres, la gentillesse de l’hôte, le petit déjeuner

Le onsen était très agréable mais un peu vétuste

Très belle expérience avec un hôte aux petits soins. Petit déjeuner maison et très bonne localisation (à 5 min de marche de l'arrêt de bus et la marche ne se fait pas sur une route passante, des restaurants présents pas très loin non plus). Très bonne literie également.

Le temps! Mais notre hôte n'y est pour rien 😅

Dai, l'hôte, est extrêmement serviable et attentionné. Le logement traditionnel et le onsen privatif sont tres agréables. Le dîner préparé par Dai etait délicieux.

Rien

- Dai, le gérant propriétaire, est gentil, attentionné et touchant : Toujours au petit soin, il nous a accueilli avec un gâteau au chocolat qu’il a fait lui-même. Il a répondu rapidement à tous nos messages et arrangé un futon supplémentaire pour palier au mal de dos de ma copine. Fan de trains, il a décoré l’établissement avec sa collection de miniatures et autres éléments qui témoignent de sa passion. - L’établissement est charmant. Traditionnel (pas vieillot) et vraiment reposant. Il est situé à 10 min à pieds d’une station de bus et de restaurants, donc facile d’accès, mais pas dans le centre ville. Et tant mieux pour ceux qui recherchent le calme. Si vous souhaitez visiter la ville et restez peu longtemps, ça ne sera peut-être pas l’idéal, sauf si vous arrivez tôt et laissez vos sacs au ryokan. L’onsen privatif se réserve au moment du check in. Nous ne sommes restés qu’une nuit mais avons pu profiter du bain une heure le soir et trente minutes le matin, avant de prendre le petit déjeuner en kimono. Un luxe qui nous a beaucoup plu. Notre chambre était aussi très confortable.

- Ne pas avoir pu rester rester plus longtemps à cause de notre emploi du temps.

Wonderful, charming hosts and an excellent breakfast. The owner is interested in railways and happy to talk about his travels.

The onsen was slightly lukewarm, but it was still very pleasant.

It made us feel like we were in the "real" Japan! Our host Dai provided us with useful info before even being asked. He is an example of a gracious host for all of us!

Nothing. A wonderful experience!

Host kindness, onsen, breakfast

Alojamiento muy auténtico para vivir una experiencia onsen en un entorno súper tranquilo. El anfitrión es muy atento y todo estaba impecable.

Por decir algo la cama un poco dura, pero supongo que es parte de la experiencia.

Great place; the owner works hard to make sure he is doing everything he can to make you comfortable. Walking distance to restaurants and convenience store. Onsen is private; you can open the windows if the weather is nice, to get a view of the surrounding trees. Room was spacious and comfortable.

We did not realize that we needed to reserve for dinner two days in advance because we booked close to our date of stay. It was a short and pleasant walk to the nearest set of restaurants. Breakfast was included and wonderful.

L’hôte est très gentil. La chambre est agréable. La maison se situe en pleine nature. La petit déjeuner est très bon.

Il n’y a pas restaurant sur place et il faut marcher un peu pour en trouver un ouvert. Le onsen mériterait d’être un peu rénové

Absolument tout : l'accueil de notre hôte d'une gentillesse incroyable, l'emplacement calme et proche de la nature, un peu à l'écart de la ville mais bien desservie par les transports, le petit déjeuner délicieux (et adapté à mes restrictions alimentaires, ce qui compte énormément pour moi), le onsen privatif, la chambre reposante et confortable... !

Typical and great host

Il proprietario è una persona eccezionale, la cui ospitalità resta impressa. La posizione è comoda, vicino alla fermata del bus. Perfetto per chi vuole un’esperienza autentica (l’onsen privato ha vera acqua termale) ma più intima ad Hakone.

スタッフの対応

El alojamiento es muy cálido, simple pero perfecto, presta atención al detalle y todo está limpio y ordenado. Dai es muy atento y te va a ayudar en todo lo que necesites. Recomiendo mucho probar sus licores caseros!

Esperaba algo un poco más tradicional para el desayuno, es lo único que cambiaría

Very kind and helpful host. Simple and delicious breakfast. Private onsen is a gem.

Slightly far but still reachable.

La gentillesse de l'hôte, la maison, son emplacement, le petit dejeuner et bien sûr son onsen privatif ! A découvrir sans hésiter. Tres beaux paysages et belles balades à faire dans les environs

Rien.

L’accueil de l’hôte, la chambre atypique, le onsen

Tout était super

Everything. The host was kind and attentive, especially as I was having mobility issues. Breakfast was a delight and the onsen was so welcome. Two one hour timeslots was a luxury. It's a delightful location.

Nothing.

Alloggio estremamente pulito e molto comodo con onsen privativo. Ottima colazione cucinata apposta per noi dal proprietatio, che si è mostrato estremamente gentile e disponibile!! Grazie ancora :)

Die Unterkunft ist wirklich großartig und dies in allen Belangen. Dai ist der perfekte Gastgeber. Selbst für japanische Verhältnisse ist er noch viel aufmerksamer als viele andere. Er kann wirklich fast Wünsche von den Augen ablesen. Es gab am Abend der Ankunft einen selbstgemachten Kuchen. Morgens gab es ein tolles frisch zubereites Frühstück. Am ersten Abend hat Dai uns sogar auf halbem Weg vom Museum abgeholt als wir durch Regen gehen mussten. Die Unterkunft hat alles zu bieten, was man von einem Ryokan erwarten kann. Der Onsen kann mehrmals am Tag reserviert werden und man hat den Slot dann für sich allein. Die Unterkunft liegt direkt am Wald, sodass man abends auch Rehe sehen kann. Auch wenn der Ort etwas außerhalb der größeren Orte in Hakone ist, kommt man super hin und weg. Die Bushaltestelle ist in ca. 5 Minuten zu Fuß erreichbar und ungefähr alle 15 Minuten kommt ein Bus, sodass man ganz entspannt alle Orte erreichen kann. Insgesamt waren wir absolut begeistert und können die Unterkunft nur empfehlen!

Nuestra estancia fue maravillosa, llegamos antes del check in, pudimos dejar el equipaje en resguardo, la habitación era bastante grande y el onsen es privado, puedes reservar la hora de usarlo lo cual ño hace muy conveniente, el desayuno estuvo delicioso. Por si fuera poco, olvidamos unos audífonos y Dai, el anfitrión se tomó la molestia de enviarlo al siguiente hotel. Lo recomiendo ampliamente!

Proprietario molto gentile e cordiale. Stanza ampia e molto caratteristica. Buona la colazione

Ok che c’era l’onsen, ma sala molto trascurata e freddissima. Anche la camera fredda, il condizionatore non era sufficiente a riscaldarla adeguatamente. Abbiamo dormito male per il freddo. Posizione lontana da tutti i punti di interesse

Awesome location as a base for day trips and great to come back to after a long day out. Breakfast was great, onsen was great and the host couldn’t do more to help us during our stay.

Tout et surtout la gentillesse et l’accueil de Dai Le dîner et le petit déjeuner exceptionnels !

Rien

Un excellent séjour chez Dai qui est une personne extrêmement disponible, sympathique et qui a tout fait pour nous rendre le séjour des plus agréables merci à lui ! Un excellent séjour, une excellent dîner et un excellent petit déjeuner avec la possibilité de se baigner dans le onsen avec les maillots pour nos enfants un peu pudiques, c’était chouette !

RAS

The host was warm and patient, and truly made our stay the highlight of Hakone. He went out of his way to help us in every way he could and made us feel completely at home. We were treated to homemade brownies and a lovely breakfast — not to mention the thoughtful heating pads to keep us warm in the cold weather. The room was cleaned every day (so as the bathrobes) and the host would turn on the AC for us before we return. The private onsen was unforgettable, and we would absolutely love to come back again.

The location is not in the town center yet the transportation is still very convenient with map host gave us.

excellent owner ，good service

老板服务非常专业

无

The owner was an exceptional host. So lovely and happy to help in any way he could. The accomodation was very serene and quiet. Great break from the big cities. Loved this experience of staying in a traditional Japanese ryoken. Would definitely stay again.

房間寬敞、乾淨、舒適而且安靜。 老闆人很好，服務態度無可挑剔。 雖然住宿位置距離公車站牌要走一小段路且包含小上坡，但也因此更感受到當地山林的寧靜。

La atención de la persona que lo gestiona, súper atento, todo al detalle y con mucho amor

Nada

スタッフの方がとても親切で、温泉も時間制でゆっくり出来て部屋もとても綺麗でした。

Nos encantó la experiencia de dormir en tatami y futón que fue sorprendentemente comodísimo! Muy bonita habitación clásica japonesa, amplia y con vistas a la montaña. La casa en sí es bellísima y te sientes transportado, y el entorno de Hakone espectacular. Disfrutamos del onsen previa reserva, calentito que nos recargó las pilas! Todas las comodidades, el anfitrión un encanto, servicial y amable. Buen desayuno que en sí también es una bonita experiencia, me encantó la sopa en especial. Excelente servicio! Una pena no habernos quedado más días y me arrepiento de no haber probado su vino casero! No me percaté de que estaba hasta la mañana siguiente :(. Gracias por todo y esperamos volver!

Owner was very hospitable and helpful

Dai, le gérant était adorable et attentionné. Le petit-déjeuner était varié et changeait tous les jours. Le onsen auquel on pouvait avoir accès le matin et le soir.

Devoir partir.

Il nostro soggiorno è stato breve ma indimenticabile (1 sola notte) con il senno di poi avremmo pernottato più notti... ci siamo sentiti come a casa con l' accoglienza calorosa e la disponibilità del proprietario. Alloggiare in un ryokan tipico dormendo sui futon e rilassandosi negli onsen è un'esperienza da non perdere! (L'onsen è possibile prenotarlo direttamente al check in). Al mattino siamo stati coccolati con una colazione tipica in una sala tutta per noi. La struttura è a circa 5/6 minuti dalla fermata del bus che collega tutta la zona da visitare. Consiglio vivamente questa struttura per un soggiorno ad Hakone!

Nulla

Quiet area with beautiful forest Great atmosphere at breakfast

Convenient bus stop nearby, but still far away from all major attractions in the area

The owner is very helpful and the place is very tidy, onsen is private and you can really enjoy it well. Highly recommended!!!

Todo, no esperes grandes lujos, no esperes maravilla de Onsen, es humilde, pero maravilloso, una de las noches que mejor dormí de todo nuestro viaje, la amabilidad del dueño increíble y el onsen aunque humilde muy muy bien!!! De 10 el lugar y la hospitalidad. Por poner una.pega, tiene una cuesta para llegar y se encuentra en medio del bosque a unos 7-10 minutos de la parada de bus y de los sitios para comer.

Todo estaba muy bien, sin grandes lujos cubre con creces las necesidades.

Tout était très bien ! Le propriétaire est très gentil, plein de bon conseil et au petit soin. La chambre est traditionnelle et le futon confortable. Le osen privatif est un vrai plus, nous y avons le droit matin et soir. C’est très bien desservi, à côté des lignes de bus principales et l’endroit est calme, au bout d’un chemin. Je recommande vivement ce ryokan, ça vaut le détour.

Rien de particulier

Det var mysigt och personligt. Allt var gjort med stor omsorg. Vi var jättenöjda!

Ingenting

雖然遠在深山，但所有設施都是整潔且嶄新的。 在日本住了一週多，他們的廁所和燈光都是體驗最好的。 而且在深山還可以小酌他們自家製的梅酒和柚子酒。一入住也有請自家製的布朗尼蛋糕，非常感謝。

位置是真的有點偏僻，如果趕不上公車就必須搭計程車。 但臨近玻璃之森美術館，這點是優勢。

Veľmi dobrá skúsenosť

Niesamowita atmosfera, wspaniały gospodarz. Prywatne gorące źródła to świetne rozwiązanie!

Very well maintained and quaint house in the mountain of Hakone with a private onsen.

L'accueil est très chaleureux et bienveillant. Les chambres sont confortables, maison d'hôtes à taille humaine, très bien située, proche des bus et des restaurants tout en étant en pleine nature

Tout était parfait, un petit déjeuner un peu plus copieux aurait été apprécié, mais ce n'est pas du tout une critique

The owner was so sweet! The onsen was nice, breakfast was yummy (home made bread!) and we got chocolate cake brought to the room as an extra bonus by the owner and his little son.

N/A

This is a must place in Japan. Told the host on our way out we can’t wait to come back to this absolute gem. Private onsen, beautiful traditional japanese home and the sweetest host. Hakone is a beautiful cozy destination and we loved amd cherished every moment here. Thank you!

Wonderful ryokan with a very tasteful interior. The host is a real charm and was doing his utmost to make our stay memorable. The breakfast was delicious and served in individual rooms. The hotel itself is tucked into the woods surrounded by Hakone's distinct wilderness.

Friendly and welcoming host. Comfortable amenities. Great experience with the private onsen and traditional Japanese style room.

Very nice atmosphere, great customer service. The private onsen was great, and the breakfast was delicious, with some Japanese staples and homemade bread buns. The tatami beds were comfortable and the room was spacious.

Accueil très sympathique et chaleureux. Onsen privatif. Très bon petit déjeuner. Idéalement situé (calme et proche transports en communs).

Atención personalizada por el propietario del establecimiento. Muy acogedor y atento a nuestras necesidades.

Everything was great. Accommodation is in the woods and all you can hear are crickets. It's great place to take a break from Tokyo. Room was clean and bed was extra comfortable. Hot spring was something you should definitely try. All in all, great experience.

This is by far one of the best getaway vacation spots I've been to this trip in Japan. Yupoppo Hakone is an extremely homey, comfortable, and relaxing ryokan (hotel/airbnb). I am basing this review on the following factors: Environment and Atmosphere: The ryokan is decorated aesthetically, showcasing themes of trains, soft music in the lobby, and overhead lights. The guestrooms are traditional Japanese and features Japanese futons. Each room is well-equipped with water, tea, and a tv. Right off the bat, I noticed how clean and minimalistic the room was. There was no dust anywhere - even behind the tv!!! The private onsen is comfortable with multiple windows for airflow, well-kept stone flooring, and area for washing and drying. The spring water is rich, hot, and relaxing. Juxtaposed from the outdoors, particularly during storms, you can really begin to appreciate the warmth and relaxation. Hospitality: The owner is a professional, caring, and truly amazing host. He goes above and beyond in every sense of the term. He makes sure you are well taken cared of and goes out of his way to ensure your travel is safe. To share a personal experience, when we came, it was during storming, and we were unaware that certain local bus lines and activities were suspended. Before heading out for the day, he took time to stop us and let us know of alternative routes and different activities we could engage in. One evening, as we were preparing to head back from a location 20 minutes away, all buses and taxies were discontinued due to landslide warnings and storms. Unprompted, he reached out by email to ask how we were doing, and he personally drove us back to the ryokan. Genuinely, he had no obligation to do so, but he still chose to go out of his way to help us on multiple occasions. The owner is so kind it is heart-warming. Breakfast!!! Yes, he provides breakfast and drinks for very reasonable prices.

It's a bit far from the main train stations and a bit of an uphill walk. Nothing to crazy but about 7-14 mins from the bus stops.

Extrêmement propre et calme, décoration très mignonne, le bain à température idéale, localisé proche d’arrêts de bus, propriétaire d’une très grande gentillesse

Tout était parfait

The ryokan is close to a bus station, restaurants and convenient stores, so the location is very good! It was a very nice and quiet place. The room and bathroom were very clean and the host very friendly and accommodating! The onsen, even though basic, it was amazing to relax in after a long day of sightseeing.Their theme is trains and the decorations are relevant to this but in an elegant way! It was like a Ghibli studio movie! I highly recommend this ryokan!

Our stay at Yupopo was truly wonderful. Dai was an incredibly friendly and helpful host who made us feel right at home. This was by far the best place we stayed during our three-week Japan trip! The beds were super comfortable, and we loved wearing the yukata. The onsen at the homestay was relaxing, and Dai’s breakfast was simple yet delicious. A special touch was the homemade soy milk brownies he served upon arrival — such a thoughtful gesture! Overall, we really enjoyed our time here and would love to return. 🥰❤️

Everything was so well organised

In general everything was good!

The owner was amazing. Private onzen great and owner made us delicious breakfasts

This was a totally charming place, great atmosphere, nice room, and very enjoyable private onsen, all that in beautiful countryside setting. First of all, however, we appreciated our wonderful host, so friendly, helpful, and smiling. Probably our best host ever :-)

everything was just fine

Love the place. Just hope the breakfast was Japanese. There's nothing else to complain about for the rest. Would recommend. And very likely would come again!

If you're interested in a simple, relaxing ryokan experience, this is a fantastic choice. The host was very kind and accommodating, even bringing me a slice of homemade cake in the evening. Everything was what I could hope for - a spacious and clean bedroom with tatami flooring, very comfortable futon, and access to a private onsen both at night and in the morning. The homemade breakfast was also delicious, would highly recommend.

Owner is really nice and the breakfast was delicious! Especially the bread. The onsen was really nice too. The location is good because there is a bus stop nearby that you can use to get to lake ashi and buses are very frequent.

I don't really review hotels on booking - because the review system is not very effective. Everything needs to be rated the best ever, when it isn't. I've rewritten this review to up my rating to a 9 (it was an 8, but it's probably an 8.5 or above). Would I recommend the Yupopop - yes. It's a simple quite charming ryoken with onsen. Good value for the area and the owner Dai is a very thoughtful and the offered excellent Japanese service. We were a bit late arriving (because the Shinkensen was delayed!) but he adapted with good grace. The ryokan is a bus ride from Hakone-yumato and then a 10 minute walk. For exploring the wider Hakone area it’s then a short local bus ride over to Gora, its impressive museums and the cable car (to do the loop). One tip, the onsen is central to all rooms, so you need to reserve it (for free). Evening sessions are more for relaxing and mornings shorter for a morning shower/clean. It's easily done and a nice authentic experience, just need to know/understand.

owner is the nicest guy

The onsen was untrustworthy

Dai was such a wonderful host! He was very accommodating with my groups dietary restrictions. The private onsen was wonderful to have access to, and the breakfast was delicious. Overall, it was a great experience.

The location is more remote than some other Ryokan. Be prepared for a small uphill hike if you're taking the bus there.

Welcome food, clean, private bath

Wish more hot water temperature

It s a very nice, quiet place. Perfect for traditional staying. The owner is so polite and helping, we loved staying with them! Thank you so much for everything!

The host was great!

The location is hard to get to without car
