温泉旅館湯さか荘

Ryokan in Hakone, quite far from the center/station, 25-30 minutes on foot, but there are infrequent buses. We stayed there for several days and used it as a base for trips around the area. The ryokan is deliberately traditional, the staff are well trained, and the service is absolutely impeccable, they helped with any request. There is no shower in the room, as in many ryokan. The breakfasts and kaiseki dinners are delicious and varied, and are served right in the room. The same lovely woman looked after us every day and helped with everything. The rotenburo outdoor bath on the roof has a view of the surrounding mountains, especially cozy in the evening. The outdoor bath is mixed bathing, konyoku. Tattoos and stickers are strictly prohibited. The bath photos online are accurate, in person it looks even better. The onsen water is heated a little, because straight from the source it is quite cool, 36°. Otherwise, the bath temperature feels around 42. A kashikiri private bath is available by reservation for half an hour a day at a convenient time, I really liked it. There is a morning transfer from the hotel to the station, it costs ¥200 06.07.2026
