A 10-minute walk from Kowakidani Station. Chisuji Ryokan sits beside the Chisuji Falls — ten quiet rooms, natural-flow hot spring, and an outdoor bath where the waterfall's voice carries in.
ABOUT
The Chisuji Falls — named for the thousand threads of water splitting across moss-covered rock — are one of Hakone's quiet natural landmarks. From Chisuji Ryokan, you can hear that waterfall from the outdoor bath.
The spring is a simple, clear water — natural flow, uncirculated. The softness on contact eases tension that accumulated over the journey. Kowakidani Station is 10 minutes away; Hakone Open-Air Museum and Gora are easily accessible.
