  • Fujiya Hotel
  • Hakone Onsen Recommendation for Foreigner - English-Speaking Ryokan?

I'm planning to take a foreign friend to Hakone Onsen, but I'll need to leave partway through due to other commitments. Could anyone recommend a reliable onsen ryokan (Japanese inn with hot springs) in the Hakone area where English is spoken, so my friend will feel comfortable and well-taken care of after I leave? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Fujiya Hotel

359 Miyanoshita

  • This is a hotel in Hakone that has been welcoming foreign guests for a long time.

  • We recommend the Fujiya Hotel in Miyanoshita. The main building, built in Japan's Meiji era (1891), was made to welcome guests from overseas, and is a classic hotel where Helen Keller, Charlie Chaplin, John Lennon and Yoko Ono have all stayed. The building, which combines Japanese and Western styles, is like a museum, and is a wonderful hotel that you will never find anywhere else. They have had many guests from overseas for a long time, so they are used to dealing with them. If you want to experience a Japanese atmosphere, we recommend staying at Hana Goten.

  • It was like staying in a museum!

  • I've only stayed at Fujiya Hotel once, but all the buildings were so beautiful that it felt like I was staying in a museum. I enjoyed my stay by strolling through the Japanese garden and looking around the area displaying the hotel's historical materials. It's amazing that Charlie Chaplin and Helen Keller stayed here too. During your stay, be sure to try the traditional Fujiya Hotel flavor, "Beef Curry," at Restaurant Cascade. They also cater for vegan meals, so please ask if you would like one.

  • 箱根に行くなら一度は泊まるべきなクラシックホテル

  • 富士屋ホテルは Japan Classic Hotel Associationに入っているホテルで、箱根で休暇を過ごす外国人のために約150年前の1878年に建てられました。日本初の本格的なリゾートホテルということで、日本的な装飾やしつらえですが、館内のレストランでは本格的なフレンチが味わえます。本格的な日本料理や洋食レストランもあり、スパや館内には富士屋ホテルと箱根の発展に関する資料館もあったりと、ホテル内を探検するだけでも楽しく過ごせるホテルです。温泉は大浴場がありますが、お部屋のバスタブには温泉がひいてあるので、大浴場にいかなくても温泉に入れます!
