Spa Hotels in Hakone

Our stay at Hakone Kowakien Ten-yu was magical. The hotel is surrounded by nature, therefore it has a relaxing atmosphere. The hotel staff was super professional and welcoming which made our stay even better. A concert took place in the lobby which we attended one night and we enjoyed it a lot! In the lobby, they have free drinks, sparkling wine and even a vending machine which provides free ice cream. We thoroughly enjoyed the feet bath on the balcony while gazing the mountains. And our room was magical! The beds, the tatami floor, the bathroom, everything was perfect! Watching the sunrise, rain, and fog settling down on the mountains was spectacular! Even better, watching it from the bathtub on the balcony! The hotel has a beautiful garden with illuminated lights and even a waterfall which provides an astonishing experience at night. One day, there was heavy rain so we decided to stay in and enjoy the facilities within the hotel itself. This turned out to be the best decision! Kowakien Ten-Yu, has a connection with a neighbouring hotel, Hakone Kowakien Yunessun, which offers a spa theme park, which we could enjoy freely due to our stay at Ten-Yu. Not to mention, you do not even need to leave the hotel premises for shopping! There's a FamilyMart within Hakone Kowakien Yunesson! Simply amazing! I haven't mentioned the amazing onsens yet! On our first night, I tried out the hotel's infinity onsen. It was my first onsen experience and probably the best. Looking at the mountains and clear sky at night is such a relaxing experience. The sunrise must be breathtaking! Lastly, the breakfast. The selection of food, drinks and the quality of service is superb. Overall, this is our best hotel experience so far. We would gladly visit again.

Amazing historic property lovingly looked after and kept modern while maintaining charm and history. In-house onsen, gardens, and setting all big bonuses.

We got every confort and the personel was helpful for everything the place was so confortable and also traditional. Hot spring was excellent.

Second time staying at this property and whilst I thought my first stay was fantastic my experience was further enhanced by the English competency of the staff present this time around which meant for no misunderstandings. The facilities are great for onsen with indoor and outdoor facilities, as well as cypress hot tub in the bedroom. Above all the food is Michelin worthy multi course for dinner and breakfast with various wine and non alcoholic pairings. Its modern interpretation of Japanese traditional cuisine from the region, locally sourced really imaginative. Really fantastic stay again and would visit when next on business in Tokyo.

great amenities, wide verity selection of food and beverages, love the in-suite hot bath.

Absolutely luxury place from the beginning to the end - beautiful location, customer service, comfort, facilities, and kaiseki dinner plus breakfast - top notch. Public baths (separated by gender) spacious, having both indoor and outdoor hot spring “pool”. Amenities - highest quality. All in all - this place belongs to top 10 onsen places in Japan. My recommendations.

Kaiseki and breakfast were delicious, private onsen was very relaxing, serenity of room, futon and blankets were very comfortable. Our attendant was also very patient with us, communicated well in English, and answered all our questions.

Exceptional stay in Hakone This place is truly exceptional. The house is perfectly located on a hillside surrounded by nature — peaceful and incredibly relaxing. My room had a beautiful view of the forest; I felt completely immersed in it. I could hear the birds singing every morning — it was magical. I also had my meals on site, and the food was absolutely delicious. The dining area opens up to the outdoors, offering breathtaking views while you eat. The on-site baths are fantastic — everything is thoughtfully designed, and the outdoor area is a dream. It feels like you're bathing right in the forest. The staff were beyond amazing — we were treated like royalty. I’ll definitely come back. A huge thank you to the whole team! Highly recommended, 200%. Don’t hesitate — go for it!

This was an absolutely fantastic experience! This hotel room was the best we’ve stayed in throughout our entire trip to Japan. Don’t be put off by the hotel’s location—there are bus routes just a 3-minute walk away, and an excellent onsen (one of the best in Hakone) is only a 10-minute walk from the property. The hotel building itself is quite old, but the room has a very fresh, modern, and authentic renovation, which we really loved. As for the room itself, it’s incredibly cozy—warm, with perfectly functioning air conditioning, all the necessary kitchen and bathroom amenities, and even a drink bar. The owner has clearly put a lot of effort into maintaining the room’s cleanliness and upkeep—no stray hairs on the floor, no dust, stains, or musty smells. Everything was spotless and comfortable. We also loved the traditional Japanese touches in the room—swords on display (I think they were a katana and a tanto, though I’m no expert) and beautiful traditional women’s garments like yukatas and uchikake, which you can wear for a photoshoot. There’s even a QR code linking to a video on how to properly put them on. The room also offers a stunning view of the mountainside and cherry blossoms—the scenery from the window is absolutely breathtaking, and my wife was completely delighted. The bedding was fresh, warm, and comfortable, and the mattresses were great too. The owner himself is very friendly, responds quickly, and is always ready to help if anything comes up. I highly recommend choosing this room if you’re planning a trip to Hakone and want to enjoy the onsen!

The balcony view is incredible, the location and facilities are perfect.
