箱根 FUFUFufu Hakone

From the moment we entered the unusual lobby, we knew Fufu was special. There is no "front desk". Instead, one of the concierges took us to a private, enclosed, area to explain the ryokan. We adored our suite with it's sliding doors to a glass enclosed room with our hot spring "pool" tub, with it's own slider to a private patio. In our entry foyer were slippers and sandals. In drawers were our outfits for meals ( if we wanted) - a long sleeve shirt, baggy drawstring pants, and a heavier overshirt. In another drawer was our 2 piece sleepwear, and robes. The meals were all tradtional courses with many of the tables enclosed privately.

Wow-this hotel was an incredible escape after the hustle and bustle of Tokyo. We were all ready for some true R&R, and from the private in-room onsens to the absolute clouds of beds, to the kaiseki dinner and authentic Japanese breakfast, this place delivered! It was so peaceful and relaxing. Comfort was next-level. Easy access to the train station the next morning via their private cars! Loved our time here, even if it was only for 1 night.

Beautiful property located conveniently located near Gora train station and attractions such as the open air museum. I was worried after reading some mixed reviews but found this property to be very welcoming and luxurious. The rooms are spacious and clean and staff was very attentive. The onsen area is well maintained and clean and the meals were all very delicious. Highly recommend!
