Motoyu Jinya

Amazing service, really relaxing environment. The room onsen is amazing and there are also public private onsens you can reserve. The food is delicious. I can’t believe this is so close to Tokyo. I’ll definitely be returning and wish I stayed more than one night!

Captivating rooms, amazing service, delicious traditional foods, excellent onsens, beautiful scenery and more made our stay unforgettable. We would absolutely come back and highly recommend it. It is so close to Tokyo and much more convenient than hiking up to Hakone.

As expected of a long-established inn, the atmosphere is generally good, and the staff are polite and well-liked. Unfortunately, it rained on the day, and my wife didn't want to get her hair wet, so we had to cancel the private open-air bath that we had reserved for 45 minutes for 3,300 yen, which was very disappointing, but I was grateful that they listened carefully to the customer's wishes and handled the cancellation properly. So we used the shared large bath, but we were able to use it almost as if it was our own. The large bath for men and women has two baths, a slightly hot indoor bath and a slightly cooler open-air bath, both of which have a moist feeling that soothes the skin. By the way, day-use bathing is free if you make a reservation for a meal course. The lunch course is a reasonable price of 7,700 yen per person, but this is the minimum course. However, it was worth the price, and each dish looked beautiful, tasted good, and the quantity was sufficient, so overall we enjoyed it very much. After the meal, we took a stroll through the garden under the umbrellas provided, and looked around the building, checking out the location of the open-air bath and other furnishings. The hotel is filled with items that fans will covet, such as photos and colored paper of past shogi players, as it is an inn where a shogi title match took place. We'll definitely book a stay here next time for an anniversary.
