Experience

What should you check before an onsen stay?

Check bathing rules, private options, accessibility and what your room plan includes directly with the property. Build time for rest into the trip.

Place it in context

Lake Ashi and Mount Fuji in the Hakone region; visibility varies
Japan / Gora & the Hakone hills

Hakone

Consider Gora for a slower stay built around hot springs, art and mountain scenery. Give yourself time to enjoy the accommodation instead of crossing the region repeatedly.
