Hakone onsen: before you visit
Day-use baths and overnight ryokan have different policies. Before booking, confirm day-use access, last admission, tattoo policy, private-bath reservations and towel availability directly with each facility.
Getting there
Odakyu trains connect Shinjuku with Hakone-Yumoto. Facilities in Gora or Sengokuhara may require an additional local train or bus transfer.
Important practical checks
Hours, closing days, prices, mixed/family use and children's rules depend on the operator. For a day trip, check your last return connection before departing.
Do all Hakone hot springs accept tattoos?
No. Tattoo policies vary by establishment. Contact the operator in advance or ask about a bookable private bath.
