Jia Nan, our chinese-speaking guide, was excellent. She provided detailed explanation of the history and geographical features of Hakone and Mt Fuji. She assisted in pre-arranging tickets and meals so that we minimize waiting times. The itinerary felt a bit rushed, but that was understandable as we need to cover multiple destinations within the day. Highly recommended!

Tips for Your Hakone Onsen Experience

Where to stay in Hakone with an onsen?

Hakone, Japan, is home to numerous onsen, or hot spring baths, which you can find in public bathhouses, ryokan, and mountainside areas:

  • Yumoto: As the largest hot spring town in Hakone, there are many outdoor baths and inns to choose from. One popular choice for a day trip is Yu no Sato Okada, offering a spacious bathing area, sauna, and cascading water feature.

  • Hills and Valleys: You can discover many hot spring facilities, some conveniently located near iconic landmarks like the Hakone Open-Air Museum and Hakone Ropeway.

  • Lake Ashi: Along its shores, the lake includes different hot spring facilities, providing a scenic setting for a relaxing soak.

  • Ryokan: Whether you're on a day trip or an overnight guest, indoor baths are always accessible in a ryokan. For a historical experience, you can visit Matsuzakaya Honten, a ryokan with an onsen that was founded way back in 1662.

When is the best time to visit a Hakone Onsen?

The best time to visit Hakone Japan hot springs is around lunchtime since most onsen are the busiest before and after breakfast and dinner. Also, take note that most public onsen close during the middle of the day.

Do you wear clothes in onsen?

Usually, you can't wear anything, even bathing suits, in the bathing area, but it's a good idea to double-check, as some Hakone hot springs, especially the unisex ones, may allow cover-ups. If you're feeling self-conscious, you can use an onsen towel to cover yourself before getting into the water. Be careful as the minerals in certain onsen can make the floor slippery, so take it easy and watch your step for a safe and relaxing soak.
