Dip into Yumoto's steamy world of traditional Japanese onsen culture at the gateway to Hakone. The historic Hakone-Yumoto Station leads to centuries-old bathhouses, scenic riverside paths dotted with torii gates, and the peaceful Gyokuren Shrine.

Traditional ryokans offer authentic stays with tatami rooms and elaborate kaiseki meals featuring mountain vegetables and local specialties. Getting around is simple with frequent trains to Tokyo and local buses connecting to Lake Ashi's attractions. The compact district is best explored on foot, especially during quiet mornings before day-trippers arrive.

Hakone Gora KARAKU

Hakone Gora KARAKU

10/10 Excellent
"Beautiful resort with great hospitality and amenities. The only critique I have is that, especially for this price, I feel like all guests who request the shuttle service to/from the train station should be offered it. It was very difficult for my husband, baby and I to get to the hotel without it (especially because no taxis/ubers were available) and when we wanted to go to use the shuttle on the way back to the train station, they said it was fully booked. They ended up eventually being able to accommodate us, for which we were incredibly grateful, but there was a lot of extra stress and pleading with the front desk to be able to get that confirmation. This was the only tarnish on an otherwise wonderful, relaxing stay. "
