Tenzan Onsen

183. Tenzan Onsen, Hakone ★★★ A top onsen in Hakone that needs no introduction. Admission is ¥1,450. In essence, it is like a super sento in an old ryokan building that is in excellent condition. The day of my visit was very rainy, and there were not many visitors in the evening. As a result, the atmosphere in the bath area was wonderful, with the cooling rain, perfectly done evening lighting, top-notch company, and a great aesthetic in the bath area. In principle, once I had already reached the changing room and saw the baths, I no longer had any questions about why this onsen is so highly regarded. About the baths: 1. Large rectangular wooden bath. The water was clear, and the temperature was around 42-43. 2. Corner bath next to the clear-water bath, just warm in temperature. 3. Main large stone bath. Temperature around 40. 4. Additional section by the large bath with a temperature around 44-45. 5. Two mini baths up the stairs. Temperature around 40. 6. Steam bath in a small house. 7. Cold stone bath. Top. When I am in Hakone again, I will go to Tenzan once more. 12.07.2024
