Hakone-Yumoto Onsen

箱根湯本温泉

Hakone-Yumoto, Hakone · 箱根

The first stop in Hakone, a river town of ryokan and public bathhouses, several of which take day visitors without an overnight booking.

Why it’s worth it

If you only have a day, bathe here rather than chasing a mountain ryokan. Tattoo policies vary — check before you undress, or book a private bath.
