Overview

Hakone Pax Yoshino brings you comfort the moment you arrive, and a sense of happiness when you leave. This ryokan sits just a 12-minute walk from Hakone Yumoto Station, placing you at the entrance of one of Japan’s most iconic hot spring destinations. Here, you can slow down, soak in mineral-rich waters, and enjoy Japanese cuisine crafted with care and local flavor.

The ryokan’s motto—PAX INTRANTIBVS SALVS EXEVNTIBVS—reminds you that peace awaits those who enter, and contentment follows those who depart. Whether you’re here to explore Hakone’s mountains or simply relax by the river, this is your starting point for a restorative stay.

Accommodation

Hakone Pax Yoshino offers a mix of Japanese and Japanese-Western rooms. Some rooms include a semi open-air hot spring bath made from fragrant Japanese cypress, perfect for unwinding in privacy while enjoying views of the river and mountains. You’ll find a quiet terrace attached to many rooms, letting you step outside and breathe in the fresh Hakone air.

Rooms vary in size and layout, with options that combine low beds and tatami mats. Whether you want a classic Japanese-style space or something more hybrid, each room is designed for comfort, and all include Wi-Fi, a washlet-equipped toilet, and thoughtful touches that make your stay feel easy and relaxing.

Dining

Dinner is a Japanese banquet featuring fish from the Pacific Ocean and vegetables from the western face of Hakone Mountain. Served in the dining room, these meals reflect seasonal flavors and time-honored techniques. You’ll taste local ingredients in dishes that celebrate the land and sea.

Breakfast is a Japanese and Western-style buffet, giving you the chance to start your day with both familiar and traditional options. Advance reservations are needed for dinner, so be sure to confirm your plans when you book your room.

If you prefer to explore nearby dining options, several local restaurants are just a short walk away. From casual izakayas to steakhouses and family-friendly spots, Hakone Yumoto offers choices for every taste.

Onsen and Wellness

All baths in your room are filled with genuine hot spring water. If your room features a semi open-air bath, you can enjoy a soak while listening to the nearby river and gazing at the surrounding mountains. The water is gentle and restorative, ideal for releasing tension after a day of sightseeing.

On the top floor, you’ll find a large public bath and private chartered onsen. The views stretch across the landscape, offering a peaceful setting to soak, reflect, and unwind. If you want to use a private bath, stop by the front desk after you arrive to make a same-day reservation.

Guests with Tattoos

If you have tattoos, you can use the public or private baths. Just reserve the private hot spring when you check in. No advance booking is needed by phone or email.
