Open-air panorama facing the mountains
Yunosato Okada is a day-use facility of the Hotel Okada group in the Yumoto-chaya district at the back of Hakone-Yumoto. From the 4th-floor bathhouse the Hakone mountains spread out beyond the Takidori valley, with several open-air tubs (lying bath, waterfall bath, pot baths) and a sauna. Unusually for Hakone it stays open till 23:00 and offers early-morning bathing 6–9 a.m. (¥1,000 incl. towel), so it slots easily around your itinerary. On weekday afternoons it can have fewer than ten guests — a quiet find.
Tips & cautions
- Early-morning bathing (6–9 a.m.) costs about 60% of the regular price and includes a towel, but may be cancelled the morning after a maintenance closure (check the official site).
- Sauna runs from 12:00 and closes at 22:00.
- The road from the station is very narrow — take care if driving; the shuttle is easier.
- Asoview same-day tickets save ¥300.
- No meal plans over New Year (28 Dec–8 Jan).
