Hotel Okuyumoto
--- The property is not yet rated
Hotel Okuyumoto sits on the edge of a mountain stream in Hakone, Kanagawa, occupying a mid‑rise building with around fifty primarily Japanese‑style rooms. The property centers on an open‑air hot spring complex called Fujinoyu, which offers both stone and cypress baths where the sound of the stream can be heard; additional wellness facilities include a sauna and a seasonal outdoor pool. A compact set of public areas — garden terrace, reception and banquet spaces — supports sightseeing itineraries as well as relaxed stays, and a shuttle service to Hakone‑Yumoto is available by reservation.
Accommodation blends traditional tatami rooms and western‑style suites, with tiered room packages that feature in‑room dining and seasonal kaiseki cuisine served directly to the guest’s room. Several deluxe rooms and suites include an in‑room hot spring bath, providing private bathing for guests who prefer seclusion, while other room types offer garden or river views. Rooms come with ensuite facilities, standard amenities and complimentary Wi‑Fi; the overall atmosphere is calm and family‑friendly, with options for small group dining and private arrangements on request.
Placed within easy reach of Hakone’s main attractions, the hotel serves as a practical base for museum visits, mountain walks and Lake Ashi excursions typically a short drive from the station and local sightseeing hubs. The combination of a rustic open‑air Fujinoyu and in‑room bathing options positions the property for travelers seeking a ryokan with onsen Hakone and for those prioritizing privacy in a ryokan with private onsen Kanagawa. Practical services include on‑site parking, banquet and meeting facilities and multilingual assistance at reception.
