Relax in natural hot springs and a superb sauna at a prestigious hotel steeped in more than 140 years of history
"Fujiya Hotel" is a hotel in Hakone-machi, Ashigarashimo-gun, Kanagawa Prefecture. Opened in 1878 as Japan's first full-scale resort hotel, it is one of Japan's most prestigious classic hotels. At the bathhouse called "SPA" on the top floor of the Forest Wing, guests can enjoy the famous Miyanoshita Onsen in the indoor bath and semi-open-air bath while taking in the majestic ridgelines of the outer Hakone mountains. It also features a genuine dry sauna with a pleasant woody aroma and a ceramic jar-shaped cold plunge bath. All guest rooms (120 rooms) also offer natural hot spring water in the bathrooms, allowing guests to spend an extraordinary and relaxing time amid the architectural beauty of this Registered Tangible Cultural Property.

The SPA bathhouse draws water from Miyanoshita Onsen, one of the famous hot springs counted among the Seven Hot Springs of Hakone. It features an indoor bath and a semi-open-air bath overlooking the grand ridgelines of the outer Hakone mountains, allowing guests to enjoy a hot spring bath while feeling the natural beauty of each season. The highly heat-retaining sodium chloride spring warms the body from deep within and brings a profound sense of relaxation.

Natural hot spring water from Miyanoshita drawn into the bathrooms of all guest rooms. In this private space, you can have the famous spring all to yourself without being disturbed by anyone. In the rooms of this historic classic hotel, you can savor the luxury of soaking in the hot spring as often as you like, whenever you like.

A genuine dry sauna wrapped in quiet and filled with a pleasant woody aroma. In a calm space with no TV or background music, you can take your time and focus on yourself. The crisp heat envelops your body and warms you gradually all the way through. Sauna mats are also provided, so you can enjoy a clean and comfortable sweating experience.

A ceramic jar-shaped cold plunge bath installed right next to the sauna room. Designed for one person, it offers a private-style cooldown. It gently cools down your heated body, and you can easily move to the nearby outdoor air bath area. Together with outdoor bathing while looking out at the mountains of Hakone, it leads you into blissful relaxation.
