What makes it 71% Couple-Friendly: Couples enjoy serene grounds, dining and rest lounges together, but the gender-segregated baths mean partners soak apart, so romantic time in the water is limited.
Why 2-3 hours visit duration is ideal for couple trip: A 2–3 hour visit lets you sample hot-spring pools, relax in saunas, and dine without rushing.
Explore seven hot-spring baths:
Move through indoor, open-air, and cave pools.
Tip: Start with the hottest bath and finish in the cool pool to refresh.
Relax in Zashikibokko tatami rest area:
Sit on tatami mats overlooking the river.
Tip: Reserve a spot early; it fills up on weekends.
Dine at Yamaboshi restaurant:
Order eel rice bowls or wild-yam dishes.
Tip: Arrive before peak lunch at 12:30 to avoid wait.
Enjoy hot-spring shabu-shabu at Rakuten:
Cook local ingredients using onsen steam.
Tip: Share a pot to sample vegetables and meats.
Sip free spring water at reception:
Taste fresh onsen water approved for drinking.
Tip: Refill your bottle to stay hydrated between baths.

Important things to be prepared before coming to this onsen: bring your cash! They only receive cash as the payment. The cash should be ¥2000 or ¥1000 or coins. Don't come in here bringing only your card or big cash because you won't be able to pay at the machine provided. The price for adult per person is ¥1,450. People with tattoos are welcome! It was truly a unique and wild experience (for ...

It was a nice setting. The building, pools and location in the valley were great. For some reason it was mostly foreigners using the baths, maybe they run package deals. Makes it feel a bit more like a tourist experience rather than where locals would go.

I loved this onsen. It was a perfect way to end the Hakone adventure. The amenities available after a relaxing bath is an entire package. My favorite part of the experience was the plethora of resting areas that have open windows immersing the sound of the river and the forest. Truly a treat for the soul and spirit. The only down side is that bathing and cosmetic products (towels, brushes, skincar...

I loved this onsen. It was my favorite while traveling in Japan. It was tucked away in nature and although it was a bit busy when I was there it was very relaxing. Lots of different pools, sauna, and steam room. Tattoo friendly as long as you weren’t with other friends who also had tattoos. The restaurant here was very good and had a vegetaran option.

Every time I visit Hakone, I always come to this onsen ♨️. The women’s area has five open-air baths, and I think each one has a slightly different water temperature. There’s also a very cold bath to alternate with, which feels great. What’s also great is that people with tattoos are welcome here, which is not always common in Japan. On my most recent visit, I forgot to take my change from the tic...
In autumn, open-air baths frame colorful foliage. In winter, wrap in robes to stay warm between pools. In summer, visit early to beat the midday heat.
