Ryokan in Hakone

I need help. I am in need of a ryokan onsen in Hakone or Mt. Fuji, can you help me! I am a single female traveler and I speak English. I arrive in Hakone or Mt. Fuji (Where ever I can find a place to stay) on August 30th, 08 to September 1st, 08. Can someone help me. No more than 250/300$ per night but my main concern is finding a place that is available those dates and that is nice. Can somebody PLEASE help me? Thank you....

Kawaguchiko is in that area, and in that town there is a youth hostel called K's House.

K's House is an EXCELLENT hostel and should only set you back around $30US (more for a smaller/more private room). They are very spacious, but also very popular. The staff speak English quite well, so it is possible to call them.

Hi wld be grateful for tips to craft a 16days and 15 nights holiday in Japan to include Osaka, Kyoto, Tokyo and Hokkaido. Also any tips on good hotels, ryokan and onsen at these places would be great. we are a family of 4 with 2 teenaged girls. Thanks a lot

is a useful site for planning hotels. The site requires you to book your stay two weeks in advance, but they have desks in the Narita airport, Kyoto's train station and a few other places where the staff can help you find and book ryokan, minshuku, hostels or hotels.

For a family traveling, I'd suggest staying away from business hotels and capsules. I never had a business hotel that was any good (though the rates were cheap).
