Hakone is one Romancecar ride from Shinjuku, yet each area has its own character. Yumoto is quickest to reach, Gora is the hub for the mountain railway and cable car, and Sengokuhara and Lake Ashi sit close to Owakudani and lake views. Choose an area first, then compare in-room baths.

A 120-room five-star hotel 500 m from Miyanoshita Station, with indoor and outdoor pools and three restaurants alongside its hot-spring bath. The signature restaurant, The Fujiya, serves French cuisine, and the Hakone Open-Air Museum and Yunessun are a short drive away.
Recommended staysHakone · Sengokuhara
A 77-room onsen hotel in Sengokuhara where buffet dining covers meals and open-air and communal baths plus a sauna are on hand. There is a shuttle and a fireplace lounge, and Lake Ashi and Owakudani are about ten minutes by car, an easy one-night base for families.
Arriving late in the day, a stay around Hakone-Yumoto, the Romancecar terminus, keeps things easy. Next day, ride the mountain railway up to Miyanoshita and Gora as you sightsee.
Gora is close to the Hakone Open-Air Museum and Hakone Gora Park and is the cable-car transfer point, handy for stays of two nights or more. Sengokuhara gathers autumn silver-grass fields and museums, suited to car or bus travel.
Lake Ashi stays make early visits to the lake cruise and Hakone Shrine easy. On clear days Mount Fuji can appear across the water, so check for view rooms.
