3A hot spring with a spectacular view, Ryu Palace Honkan
Superb Outdoor hot spring with a view of Lake Ashi and Mt.
This impressive one-day hot spring is located on the shores of Lake Ashi, in a building modeled after the Byodoin Phoenix Hall in Uji, Kyoto. After being built in Hamanako, Shizuoka Prefecture in the early Showa period, it was moved to its current location and is designated as a Tangible Cultural Property of Japan for its magnificent appearance and history. It boasts an outstanding location with a view of Lake Ashi and Mt. Fuji below. You can enjoy the spectacular view unique to Hakone while soaking in the hot spring.
The bathtub is filled with Takogawa hot spring, which was added to Hakone's hot springs in 1993. It is ideal for those who are tired from leisure activities, as it warms the body from the core, keeps the water from cooling down, and is effective for muscle, nerve, and joint pain.
Enjoy the spectacular seasonal views from the indoor baths as well.
Lake Ashi changes its atmosphere from season to season. Especially in late October and early November, when the lakeside and the outer rim of Hakone are dyed in autumn, you can enjoy a picturesque scene not only from the open-air baths, but also from the indoor baths. Rest areas are available for both men and women, and for women only. There are also a variety of properties other than hot springs, such as a spa that can be used casually for short courses, and a Dining Area where the chef serves up his culinary creations. For those who want to spend time without worrying about their surroundings, we recommend the four types of private rooms available for rent.

5Hakone Yuryo
Relax in an outdoor hot spring surrounded by the forest
Tonosawa Hot Spring, one of the seven hot springs in Hakone that have been popular with many people since the Edo period, is located in the valley of the Hayakawa River. Hakone Yuryo is a popular Daytrip Destinations Property with the source of "Bijin-no-yu," or "hot water of beauty," which is reputed to moisturize the skin after bathing. The building, decorated in the style of an old private house, is a comfortable space that makes you feel nostalgic as soon as you step into it. In addition to the indoor baths, the spacious bathhouse has a variety of outdoor hot springs, including a "rock bath," a "gazebo bath," and a "Shigaraki bath," allowing visitors to enjoy a variety of bathing experiences. We recommend the "Miharayu" surrounded by trees. A relaxing soak in the hot spring while also taking a bath in the forest will heal both body and soul.
Plenty to do after bathing
In addition to the Public hot spring, there are 19 private outdoor hot springs available for private use in the "Detached Bathhouse Hanaden," which is very popular with families with children. After enjoying the hot springs that meet your individual needs and preferences, you can enjoy a meal at the restaurant, which takes pride of place at the Irori (open hearth) dining room. At the Irori Saryo Yari, a Dining Area in the inn, you will be treated to a wide variety of dishes from the satoyama, such as river fish grilled slowly over charcoal in the sunken hearth, and assorted dishes from the mountains and the sea. Soft-serve ice cream and other sweet treats and drinks can be purchased at the store.
