From the moment you check in at Merveille Hakone Gora, your journey of relaxation begins. Guest rooms range from comfortable standard Western-style rooms to Loft Twins and suites with private open-air baths, offering a variety of options for different styles of stay.
The onsen features a blended spring sourced from both Owakudani and Sounzan, known for its many benefits, including easing fatigue, soothing muscle aches, and improving circulation for those sensitive to the cold. The spacious public bath also includes a jet bath, perfect for melting away everyday stress.

Dinner is served as a kaiseki meal, featuring a beautifully presented menu crafted primarily from local ingredients—delighting both the eyes and the palate.

Handcrafted sofas by artisans from Hida Takayama, bamboo lampshades, interiors created from antique obi sashes, and carefully selected works of art—
at Tensui Saryo, the essence of Japanese beauty is woven not only into the décor, but even into the dining experience. This is a hot spring inn where you can fully immerse yourself in a world of refined aesthetics, leaving everyday life behind as you refresh both body and spirit.

The symbolic heart of Tensui Saryo is the footbath café and bar, Matsuyoi. This inviting space serves as the gateway to your extraordinary stay—start by soaking your feet while enjoying a drink, and gently ease into the rhythm of relaxation.

True to its theme of Japanese beauty, the main building features traditional Japanese-style rooms, while the detached wing offers elegant Japanese-Western style accommodations. The onsen highlights the milky waters of Owakudani, known for their skin-beautifying properties, and can be enjoyed as free-flowing source water in the open-air bath of the large public bath. In the private open-air baths of the detached rooms, guests can also experience the different mineral qualities of Kiga Onsen.

Dining is another highlight, featuring a live kitchen where seasonal main dishes are prepared before your eyes. The cuisine is beautifully presented on classic Japanese tableware such as Kutani and Arita ware, enhancing both the flavors and the visual artistry of each dish. Of course, the carefully selected ingredients themselves shine with natural beauty.

With additional wellness facilities such as spa treatments and stone saunas, Tensui Saryo promises a deeply fulfilling and truly extraordinary stay.

A modern hideaway nestled in Gora—that is Hotel Indigo Hakone Gora.
Step inside and you’ll be surrounded by a world of sophisticated design. Every guest room features its own private open-air onsen, and the hotel also offers a stylish restaurant, a fitness center, and a thermal spring, making it a retreat filled with possibilities for both relaxation and renewal.

Artwork inspired by Hakone’s natural landscapes and local culture is displayed throughout the contemporary-style guest rooms. These pieces blend effortlessly with the modern interiors, creating a space that feels both artistic and serene. Every room features a private open-air bath filled with natural hot spring water, allowing guests to relax in complete privacy. At dinnertime, the hotel transforms into a stage where the flavors of Hakone become the evening’s finest entertainment.

Unlike traditional ryokan, Hotel Indigo does not offer gender-separated public baths. Instead, guests can enjoy the Thermal Spring in their favorite swimsuits, within a stylish, lounge-like space furnished with large screens and comfortable couches. Whether with a loved one or close friends, time here seems to pass in the blink of an eye.
Be sure to explore the hotel’s signature concept, “Neighborhood Story.” The specially curated neighborhood map, filled with local highlights of Gora, is a must-see for discovering the area’s hidden charms.

Another highlight is that the Thermal Spring is tattoo-friendly, making it especially welcoming for international travelers.

Just a five-minute walk from Gora Station, Hakone Yutowa is a Japanese-modern retreat with a warm, welcoming spirit.
The slightly mysterious name “Yutowa” is a fusion of “you” and “wa” (meaning circle or connection), along with the image of “yu,” the hot springs so symbolic of Hakone. It reflects the inn’s heartfelt wish for guests to spend colorful, meaningful moments here.

The 72 guest rooms include hotel-style accommodations for couples and groups, as well as condominium-style rooms ideal for longer stays. The hotel category also features universally designed accessible rooms, ensuring comfort for all travelers.
The onsen draws from Ninotaira Onsen, known as a “beauty-enhancing spring.” The women’s public bath, in particular, is a refined space where soft, colorful light filters through windows of various sizes. The spring is known to be beneficial for cuts, circulation issues, sensitivity to cold, low mood, and dry skin—allowing Hakone’s gentle healing to soothe both body and mind.

Dinner is served in a half-buffet style: guests select one main dish at their table, while a generous buffet offers a wide variety of dishes and desserts for all generations to enjoy. A selection of condiments adds playful accents of flavor, and a free-drink corner—including alcoholic beverages—completes the experience.

Guests can also unwind in the spa lounge with its relaxing footbath, or spend time in the library lounge, home to around 700 books. Here, you may not only enjoy a quiet moment of reading but also strike up conversations with fellow travelers—creating new circles of connection.
At Hakone Yutowa, your circle of connections gently grows with every stay.

This chloride spring, blended from two sources in Kami-Gora and Sounzan, is also known for its excellent healing properties. Yutorelo-an is further equipped with four private open-air baths, allowing couples and groups to enjoy truly special moments in complete privacy.

After your soak, relax in the lounge and take in the view from the windows. The area surrounding Yutorelo-an is rich in deciduous trees, making the fresh greenery of spring and the vibrant autumn foliage particularly breathtaking.
