Kappa Tengoku Ryokan Reviews

This place is a yesterday place. It has seen much better times. We arrived at 12 noon after climbing 85 steps with our luggage and were told we could only check in after3pm. Later on we found out we were the only guests! However when one looks at the local alternatives it was O.K. The included outside onset was real heaven. Hakone Yumoto in my opinion is definitely the best area to stay, if you buy a 2 day pass you can take the free train to Odawara for dinner. Local restaurants close early

Thank you for your kindness. This is my second time staying at Kappa Tengoku. Please will you accept reservation more than 1 month in advance by phone?

Strange place! The room was fine - quite spacious although basic. Free tea and hot water was provided. The staff don't speak any english but there is a great tourist information desk at the station. There are no guest showers - you shower in the onsen area upstairs which is also open to the public so that was a strange experience! Luckily there was no-one else there so we weren't disturbed. Interesting!

It looks a little run down on the inside (peeling linoeum floors, and in need of a coat of paint). Other than that is is great. Location from the train is perfect, but there is SEVERAL stairs to be climbed to get in. In winter bathing may not be so fun as the bathing area of the onsen is located outside and there is no other bathing optionns at this location. Overall I enjoyed my visit and would stay again.

Staff cannot communicate in English, but not necessary if booked via Hotelsworld.com. Room is large enough for 2 persons, but room and linen are quite old. Natural onsen provided is very good.

The approach to the accommodation involved climbing many steps which was extremely difficult with luggage. The room was very basic, without any character and the curtains dowdy. I thougt that it was very expensive and disappointing.

The hotel staff are very friendly and helpful though they do not speak much English. The location is very good since it is within a short walking distance from the train station, We have to climb many stairs to reach the hotel. Tiring if you are carrying a heavy luagge. However, the view from the top is fantastic.
