7 minutes by taxi from Hakone-Yumoto Station. In a quiet valley known as Kiri-dani, surrounded by deep green and a stream, Kiritani Hakoneso offers what Yumoto's busier inns cannot — genuine quiet and natural-flow hot springs.
ABOUT
Kiri-dani — the Paulownia Valley — is named for the paulownia trees that fill the hillsides. In spring, pale purple flowers; in summer, dense green shade; in autumn, leaves reflected in the stream.
Yumoto's simple spring flows naturally into all three baths — uncirculated, gentle, clear. The outdoor bath opens to the stream's sound. Yumoto's convenience is minutes away; its noise is not.
FEATURES
Family-scale closeness over hotel-scale convenience.
7 minutes from Yumoto Station by taxi, but a world apart. Deep green and stream sounds — nothing else.
The outdoor bath 'Tani-no-yu' sits beside the stream — the sound of flowing water, natural-flow springs.
Yumoto's simple alkaline spring — uncirculated, undiluted, gentle on the skin.
Yumoto's shopping street is a taxi ride away — quiet retreat, excellent access to Hakone's sights.

The stream's sound fills this outdoor bath. Paulownia green above, clear spring water below.
