Overview
Oyado Zuiyo overlooks the majestic Hakone mountain range from the renowned hot spring town of Yugawara. This historic onsen first appears in the ancient Manyoshu poetry anthology—and you can sense the same poetic serenity in every moment of your stay. The moment you step inside and remove your shoes, you’ll slip into the relaxed, barefoot comfort that defines this ryokan’s hospitality.
Accommodation
With just 38 rooms, Zuiyo offers a variety of elegant spaces named after local wildflowers from the surrounding hills. Choose from serene Japanese‑style rooms, refined hybrid Japanese‑Western suites, or luxurious rooms with private open‑air baths.
You can gaze out over the ever‑changing scenery of Yugawara and the Hakone ridgeline all day, even from the comfort of your window or terrace. Whether rain‑shrouded or bathed in sunlight, the views enrich every moment of your stay.
