About the Region

A Secluded Onsen Ryokan in the Tonosawa Gorge

Located in the quiet, nature-rich folds just a five-minute drive from Hakone-Yumoto Station, the Tonosawa area captivates you with the seasonal beauty of the Hayakawa River gorge, from vibrant spring greenery to vivid autumn leaves. As you wander through, you will feel the deeply atmospheric charm unique to a hot spring town with such a long, storied history.

Kinnotake Tonosawa can only be reached by crossing a large suspension bridge over the Hayakawa River that flows down from the Hakone Highlands towards the sea. Visible just downstream is the Hayakawa rail bridge, the oldest existing bridge in Japan. On the far bank of the river, Kinnotake Tonosawa awaits your arrival, a secluded sanctuary of luxurious onsen, delicious food, and ultimate relaxation amidst the serenity of the trees and the sweet melody of flowing water.
