ABOUT

The Family InnThat Endures Through Generations.

Yamadaya is a Hakone Yumoto hot spring inn that has been passed down through generations of family management. The 'shiray u' (white spring)—colorless, transparent, soft Yumoto waters—is known for its skin-friendly gentleness.

More than grand facilities or luxurious interiors, Yamadaya has cherished the daily accumulation of hospitality. With the goal of being an inn that guests want to return to, our entire staff welcomes you wholeheartedly.

As a small 10-room inn, we can respond carefully to each guest's individual needs. With the convenient location just 7 minutes walk from Hakone-Yumoto Station, please casually enjoy Hakone's hot spring culture.
