△Somewhere to sit — A small rest area

Three minutes from Hakone-Yumoto Station and open to day visitors from midday, which makes it the most convenient bath in Hakone if you are catching a train. The hotel states the water is circulated and chlorinated, so this is convenience rather than quality.

The baths

Indoor bath

Spacious indoor baths ('Yudokoro Souun'), separate for men and women; alkaline simple Hakone Yumoto spring, circulated and chlorinated, with a low-temperature (approx 50C) infrared sauna. Staying guests 15:00-25:00 and 5:00-10:00; day visitors 12:00-20:00 (changing to 13:00-20:00 from 1 Oct 2026), no re-entry, closed to day visitors 31 Dec - 3 Jan.

Open to day visitors

Open-air bath

Open-air baths attached to the men's and women's indoor baths, surrounded by greenery. Same hours and same fee as the indoor bath; no separate charge.

Open to day visitors

Private (kashikiri) bath

Four private family baths up about 30 steps from the main bath entrance: one large (4-5 people) 3,000 yen and three small (2-3 people) 2,000 yen per 45-minute slot starting on the hour. RESERVATION recommended (same-day arrangement possible); the online advance form is for staying guests only. DAY VISITORS MAY USE THEM but must pay the bathing fee separately. Staying guests 15:00-22:00 and 8:00-9:00; day visitors until 20:00 (last reception).

Open to day visitors

In-room bath

Only ONE room has hot-spring water piped in: the barrier-free 'Onsen-tsuki Superior Twin' (48 sqm, 4F main building). It is an indoor bathroom, not an open-air bath.

Overnight guests only

A private bath means nobody else is in the water with you — often the practical answer if the shared baths are closed to tattooed guests.
