This is the second time I stay at this hotel. Last time experience was excellent but 10years ago. But this time our room has bee arranged next to the toilet and no room view.
Our family of 4 (2 adults, kids ages 8 and 12) had a lovely 2-night stay at Fukuzumiro Ryokan and would visit again in a heartbeat. We booked this specific ryokan because of their willingness to prepare a fully plant-based (vegan) kaiseki meal, and we were enchanted by every dish at dinner and breakfast both. It set a high bar that no other similar establishment met during our 2-week trip in Japan. The staff member assigned to us, Akiko, did not speak much English, but she was kind and helpful, and with Google Translate we managed to learn everything we needed and get to know each other a little. She was also kind to help us make some slight adjustments to my son's menu as he is rather selective (a.k.a. picky) - something that we don't take for granted in Japanese hospitality. Amenities: We found the futons quite comfortable and our room had a great sitting area facing the river. Kids report that wifi was top notch. One of the two "public" onsens is quite beautiful and at least some of the others have windows that open to the outside, which made the experience extra special (though it makes for a chilly shower on cold days!). True, the shared bathrooms haven't exactly been updated, and when the temperature is around 5 Celsius outside the walkways can be rather chilly, but that's to be expected in a 110-year-old traditional Japanese house. Our room itself warmed up quickly and we enjoyed the heating pad under the dining table. Access: We travel with each a carry-on piece of luggage and we were able to walk up from the Hakone-Yumoto train station in about 20 minutes, including a couple of stops for street food. We also used the Tozan train line (Tonosawa station just a short walk away) and bus to get to and from other Hakone attractions. People with big luggage will definitely want to take a taxi from the station though (probably under 1,000 JPY). Overall: a great cultural experience for our family. Strongly recommend to plant-based/vegan people who want to eat traditional Japanese food (without the fish flakes).

We had a wonderful 2 night stay in Sakura 4 (January, 2024). We opted for the "half board" option and were spoiled with two delicious - and generous - kaiseki style breakfasts and dinners. We managed to try all of the private onsens during our stay and had no trouble booking times that worked for us.
Fukuzumiro is a special place. That said, it is not a 5 star hotel with fancy amenities. The building is historic and the shared bathrooms are quite basic. But if you're looking for a legit ryokan experience with superb food and hospitality, Fukuzumiro is the real deal.
Big shout out to Akiko for taking such great care of us!

We loved this ryokan! It’s very old school and feels like a step back in time. We stayed here on an overnight from Tokyo and it was an enchanting experience and total change of pace. Our room (Seseragi) was spacious and was surrounded by trees and a rushing stream so that it felt like living in nature. The meals were fantastic and the service was gracious and welcoming. Also, it’s wonderful that they offer both private onsens that must be reserved as well as public ones that you can use anytime.
