A large old ryokan seven minutes from Hakone-Yumoto Station with six of its own sources, free-flowing, and open-air baths facing a 10,000-tsubo strolling garden that day visitors may walk. Bring your own towels: none are included at the day rate, and the lounge is for staying guests.

The baths

Indoor bath

Large indoor baths in a ryokan set in a 10,000-tsubo Japanese garden that day-use visitors may stroll.

Open to day visitors

Open-air bath

Open-air baths facing the garden.

Open to day visitors

Private (kashikiri) bath

Private baths are reservation-only and charged; the official day-use page did not state whether day visitors can book them.

A private bath means nobody else is in the water with you — often the practical answer if the shared baths are closed to tattooed guests.
