Yamagataya Inn

An uninhabited hot spring located quietly in Tonosawa, further up the mountain from Hakone Yumoto.The place is a former inn that has been left uninhabited, but the owner seems to be cleaning it hygienically, so it's quite clean. When you enter the inn, you'll see what used to be a counter, and there's a payment box and a surveillance camera. Once you pay and walk down the dimly lit hallway, you'll feel like you're in a haunted house lolMake sure to confirm whether you are a man or a woman at the bathhouse♪ There are baskets in the changing room, cooled water from the source in a plastic tank, and the bathhouse is a narrow bath with a semi-open-air view of greenery♪ The spring quality is simple sulfur spring and the temperature is high. The conditions are pretty good, at 46-47℃ and pH 3.9, so the temperature is like a punishment game lolIn order not to dilute the hot spring water, showers are no longer available, and the only water available to wash your body is a tub, so when you wash your body, you have to sit on the ground or just stand still. Shampoo and body soap are required. When diluting it, I use the cooled hot spring water kept in a large tub at the bathhouse, but it's just a little less lolI'm not sure if it's okay to add water from the plastic tank in the changing room, so I'll just have to be patient. Some days it's blue and clear, and some days it's cloudy, and I feel like it's a natural characteristic. You can also park there for 3 cars, 24 hours a day, and in the winter it may be difficult to change clothes at the changing room. The bathing fee is 600 yen as of July 4, 2022 ♪ Please try the best secret hot spring ♪ I think the quality of the spring water is the best in Hakone ♪ If there are customers in advance, it is physically difficult for more than 3 people to take a bath, so please wait. I think it will be fine, but since the temperature is high, don't stay in the water for too long. If you wait a little, there will be no problem! Please enjoy the best quality of the hot springs♪

Speaking of Hakone's authentic sulfur hot springs, I think it's Ashinoyu Onsen.There are only 3 locations: Matsuzakaya Main Store, Kinokuniya Ryokan, and Yamagataya. All the inns have wonderful hot springs.Yamagataya is an unmanned hot spring where you can take a bath for just one coin.It is a sulfur hot spring with a very rich yunohana, which is adjusted to warm the water with the cooled source without diluting the source. This is my favorite hot spring.There is no shower, the space is large enough to accommodate 2 or 3 people, and we do not recommend it for those who value cleanliness and the facilities are well-equipped.Although it is deep in the mountains in Hakone, I think it is worth going if you are looking for a real hot spring.

This is the ultimate neglect😁I quit my job at a hotel and went to a hot spring on my own.You can only take a bath for 500 yen per hour.Of course there is no boiler or other heating equipment, but the electricity is on.If you are unsure, there is one at the entrance.With a dry battery lantern😁I'll bother you then.Put money in the box at the entranceRead the warning and go inside...The bathtub is smallKaran is not availableA type that uses hot spring water from the bathtub in a tub.The hot spring water comes in from under the bathtub, and there is a pleasant sulfur smell.I'll definitely come again 🎵NoteHair dyeing prohibitedBe sure to turn off any lights that are litClose when openedTake your trash homeIf a heartless person uses it recklesslyI won't be able to take a bath from now on.

※postscript:According to the owner, the contents of the cold water bottle are prepared by him for hygiene reasons, so he doesn't want you to refill the bottle directly from the bathtub.Have you thought about the people who put the water in the bottle in other comments and who use the cooled water in the bottle later? I don't think it's hygienic. If it was too hot to soak in the water, there should have been a way to do it by pouring hot water over it.I also do this when the water temperature is high.While I was driving with a friend, I wanted to go to a hot spring and was looking into it, and we found this place and decided to visit.I arrived at night, but the lights weren't on, so I guess they weren't doing anything. I hesitated to enter.The entrance was empty, and there was a sign saying, ``Bathing is self-service.Click here to pay.''Indeed, I think this is a hideaway hot spring for people who understand the current situation and enter it.The inside of the building is dark and the radio is playing, making it a bit eerie.You can turn on the lights in the toilet and bathroom, so there is no problem there.The quality and temperature of the spring water was just right and I was able to take a relaxing soak.However, as mentioned in other posts, it seems that you cannot use the shower when taking a self-bath. Do you mean ``entering with an understanding of the current situation'' including that?Body soap and shampoo were provided.On the way home, I happened to meet my husband from his time working at an inn. I met someone I thought was right at the entrance and we talked for a bit.It was the best hot spring to enter while understanding the current situation.The building is not air-conditioned and the changing rooms are cold, so you need to be careful about the water getting cold, especially in the winter.
