Ryuguden  

On the shores of Lake Ashi in Hakone (Motohakone), minutes from the Hakone Komagatake Ropeway and a short drive to Hakone Shrine. This ryokan-style onsen hotel sits handy to Hakone-en Aquarium and nearby golf and park attractions. A family-friendly stay with easy shuttle links to local sights.

Just 24 guestrooms blend traditional ryokan touches with modern comforts — think private lanais, fireplaces in select rooms, air conditioning, refrigerators and desks. Bathrooms feature deep soaking bathtubs and separate showers for real onsen-style R&R, while rooms offer satellite/DVD entertainment, safes and complimentary Wi‑Fi.

Full-service spa, hot springs and massage treatments set the tone for relaxation. On-site sauna, karaoke, table tennis, an aquapark and a kids' playroom keep the vibe lively. Concierge, gift shop/newsstand, vending machines, daily housekeeping and a complimentary area shuttle and parking make logistics easy — wake up to lake-breeze mornings and soak it all in.

Complimentary high-speed wired and wireless internet, 1,259 sq ft of conference/meeting space and meeting rooms. Free self-parking, train-station pickup and lobby newspapers keep business simple.

Enjoy Japanese cuisine at 富士 (Fuji), one of the ryokan's two on-site restaurants, or order room service during limited hours. Vending machines and on-site dining options make it easy to sample local Hakone flavors between excursions.
