Hakone Ryuguden Main Hall (Lake Ashi View Day-Spa)
箱根・芦ノ湖畔 蛸川温泉 絶景日帰り温泉 龍宮殿本館
A spectacular day-spa operated in the main hall of Ryuguden, a Japanese-style ryokan on the shore of Lake Ashi in Hakone, Kanagawa. Three bathing areas face the lake - a fully glazed indoor bath, a semi-open bath, and a balcony-style open-air bath - and on clear days Mt. Fuji rises beyond the water, one of Hakone's finest settings. The water is Takogawa Onsen, a rare own-source spring on the Ashi shore, temperature-adjusted by blending and heating. A sauna and dining room are available. Open weekdays 9:00-20:00 and weekends/holidays 8:00-20:00 (last entry 19:00); admission is 2,200 yen adults / 1,200 yen children on weekdays and 2,500 / 1,500 yen on weekends and holidays (towels cost extra). About 55 minutes by bus from Hakone-Yumoto Station, close to Moto-Hakone Port and Hakone Shrine, with parking for around 100 cars.
