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. Explore Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park's natural wonders or marvel at the cascading Tamadare Falls after a relaxing soak. 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.

Gora blends steamy hot spring culture with artistic flair in this mountainside Japanese retreat. The Hakone Tozan Railway winds up to reveal ryokans where you can soak in mineral-rich onsen baths after exploring Hakone Gora Park's French-inspired gardens. Art lovers can bounce between the Hakone Museum of Art and Photography before riding the cable car to catch mountain vistas. Dining here centers around traditional kaiseki meals featuring seasonal mountain vegetables and river fish. Most accommodations include dinner with your stay, saving you the trek up and down steep terrain. Getting around requires some planning with the railway, cable cars, and ropeway system connecting major attractions.

Miyanoshita

Miyanoshita's historic mountain village charm transports you to Japan's elegant Meiji era.

Nearby trails offer peaceful hikes with stunning valley views. Traditional kaiseki meals at local ryokans showcase seasonal Japanese cuisine in atmospheric settings.

Sengokuhara

Sengokuhara dazzles with golden susuki grass fields swaying against volcanic backdrops and steam rising from natural hot springs. Art lovers can wander through the Hakone Open-Air Museum where sculptures stand proudly against mountain views. Traditional ryokans with their wooden facades and serene gardens offer an authentic glimpse into Japanese mountain culture that feels worlds away from city life. Most dining happens within ryokans where kaiseki meals showcase local mountain vegetables and tofu specialties. Getting around requires planning as bus service is limited, though the peaceful walks between attractions reward you with stunning scenery. Staying in a traditional ryokan with tatami rooms and private onsen baths is the quintessential Sengokuhara experience.

Kowakudani

Soak in Kowakudani's otherworldly volcanic landscape where sulfurous steam rises from bubbling hot springs.
