Tenseien

Absolutely love this place! The staff are very friendly, and the onsen is clean and well-maintained. There are 3 outdoor pools and 2 indoor pools, along with a steam room and sauna, which make for a relaxing experience. The facility is open for both day trips and overnight stays, but staying overnight is much better for a more chill and leisurely time. There’s a massage chair available, but it requires payment. Breakfast is also delicious and definitely worth it. The only downside is the location—it’s not very convenient and requires some walking. If you’re traveling light, it’s manageable. They do have a payable shuttle bus, but the timing isn’t great. Walking can be pleasant if the weather’s nice, or you can opt for a taxi. Overall, I’ll definitely book this place again for the relaxing atmosphere!

Location is about 20 mins walk from Hakone Yumoto station. They have a parking lot for hotel guests and also shuttle from train station. Staff cannot speak much English but are very friendly. You need to take off your shoes and lock them in the lockers at entrance because no outside shoes allowed but hotel slippers, which not very convenience but make it a very clean and tidy hotel. Japanese buffet breakfast is included in the room cost and quite a lot of Japanese food choices. It has a pond garden which is good for morning wandering. It is also a very good Onsen facilitated hotel. You can book a private bath if you want to have Onsen together with your partner. They gave us 2 hotel spending coupons that can offset the booking cost.

Very nice hotel tucked in the forest … nice Onsen Spa , dinner n breakfast were delicious , there’s a bus that leaves from opposite yumoto station at 15 or 45 past the hour that will drop you at Tenseien for 100Y ,highly recommended
