Kanagawa Hakone Town, Ashigarashimo District
Unwind in natural onsen and a superb sauna at a storied hotel alive with more than 140 years of history
Fujiya Hotel stands in Hakone-machi, Ashigarashimo-gun, Kanagawa Prefecture. Opened in 1878 as Japan’s first full-fledged resort hotel, it is one of the country’s most distinguished classic hotels. At SPA, the baths on the top floor of the Forest Wing, you can soak in the celebrated waters of Miyanoshita Onsen in an indoor bath and a semi-open-air bath that look out over the sweeping ridgeline of Hakone’s outer crater rim. There is also a proper dry sauna filled with the pleasant scent of wood, along with a ceramic urn-shaped cold plunge. The bathrooms in all 120 guest rooms are supplied with natural onsen water as well, so you can spend unhurried, out-of-the-ordinary time surrounded by the architectural beauty of a Registered Tangible Cultural Property.

SPA, the hotel’s baths, draws on the celebrated waters of Miyanoshita Onsen, counted among the Seven Onsen of Hakone. With an indoor bath and a semi-open-air bath looking out over the sweeping ridgeline of Hakone’s outer crater rim, it lets you bathe while taking in nature through the seasons. The sodium chloride spring holds heat well, warming you to the core and bringing deep relaxation.

Natural onsen water from Miyanoshita is piped into the bathroom of every guest room. In your own private space, you can have these celebrated waters all to yourself, undisturbed. In a room at this historic classic hotel, you can indulge in soaking in the onsen whenever you like, as often as you like.

A proper dry sauna wrapped in quiet and the pleasant scent of wood. With no TV or background music, this calm room lets you take your time and turn inward. The dry heat envelops you and slowly warms you to the core. Sauna mats are provided, so you can enjoy a clean, comfortable sweat.

A ceramic urn-shaped cold plunge sits right beside the sauna. Compact and made for one, it lets you cool down with a sense of privacy. It gently cools your flushed body, and the space for cooling off in the open air is just steps away. Together with time cooling off in the open air facing the mountains of Hakone, it draws you into blissful relaxation.
