💡 Tips for Visitors

Many traditional ryokans require advance reservations and may be cash-only, so plan ahead and bring sufficient yen. Most onsens have specific bathing etiquette including washing thoroughly before entering the communal baths and keeping towels out of the water - tattoos may be restricted at some establishments. Visit on weekdays to avoid crowds, and consider purchasing the Hakone Free Pass for unlimited transportation access throughout the region.
