we had an incredible visit here. we reserved a private onsen. the price is so affordable considering it’s a private onsen for 2 hours. we felt so relaxed during our visit. hakone is a beautiful stop and hakone yuryo is the cherry on top!

I highly suggest this onsen if you are in Hakone. First, they provide a free shuttle from the train station and back approximately every 15 min. This makes it so easy to go here. The facilities are great. The atmosphere is serene and relaxing. The bathing products you use to prior to going in and after smell great. We purchased the big towel and used that during our time there so we could use it once we showered to leave (we were able to take it home with us). In the women's section there are blow dryers, lotion etc to use. Pay attention the the times at the sauna entrance. There is an attendant that comes at those times and performs a service where they pour scented liquid over the coals and fan you. It's great and then a cool dip after makes it so invigorating. The only thing I didn't like is that there is a lot of hair on the floor in the locker room since the women there are drying and brushing their hair. It would be nice if someone was sweeping it up. I would recommend showering outside once you are done because it's so nice. Such an amazing experience!

A real gem off the beaten track. We had 2 hours in a private onsen room looking out over the forest. Towels were included and we paid for robes to wear. The staff are friendly. The onsen itself was beautiful with an inside sitting area. The water is very hot so it's good to be able to take a short break, there is a shower to clean yourself before going into the water. There is a public onsen area which is cheaper to access. There are toilets and a smoking area with a vending machine or you can go to the on site restaurant. If your hotel doesn't have an onsen I would recommend this place We took the free shuttle bus up to the spa which I would recommend.
