Hotels in Hakone

KAI Sengokuhara is Hoshino Resorts' most family-accessible Hakone ryokan, set on the quieter Sengokuhara plateau away from the main tourist corridors. It delivers the core ryokan experience — onsen, kaiseki dining, yukata pacing — in a well-managed, unhurried setting. Book 4–6 weeks ahead for peak autumn season; availability is generally easy outside those windows.

Nazuna Hakone Miyanoshita is a small-scale ryokan in one of Hakone's quieter, more historic pockets, making it a better fit for return visitors than first-timers seeking the full resort experience. The Nazuna group's low-room-count approach means a calmer, less transactional stay. Book two to three months ahead for autumn or spring travel; outside peak season, four to six weeks is usually enough.

Yama no Chaya is an accessible ryokan option in the quieter Tonosawa area of Hakone, better suited to couples and families looking for a lower-pressure introduction to traditional inn culture than to those chasing the prestige of Gora Kadan or Fufu Hakone. Book in autumn for peak scenery. Confirm pricing, dining, and onsen rules directly before reserving.
