箱根で最高のプライベート温泉滞在で究極のリラクゼーションを

Hakone Yuniwa gives families the privacy of an apartment in Hakone: every unit has kitchen facilities, a balcony, garden views, air-conditioning and its own open-air bath, so parents and children can soak on their own schedule. The property also has a hot spring bath, a hot tub and outdoor seating, with free WiFi throughout. With only 11 reviews so far, its 9.5 rating is promising but still young. I would pick it for families who like to cook and bathe in private.

Hakone Honbako is a five-star hotel built around hot springs, and for families I see the private and open-air baths as the main draw, since bathing together is easier away from a shared pool. The restaurant serves local specialities at breakfast and dinner, with vegetarian and Asian breakfast options for mixed tastes. Rooms have mountain views, air-conditioning and bathrobes, a minimarket covers small needs, and 488 guests rate it 9.5.

ESPACIO The Hakone Geihinkan Rin-Poh-Ki-Ryu offers interconnected rooms, useful for families who want children close by but with their own space. Each room is air-conditioned with a private bathroom, a balcony, a terrace and mountain views. The swimming pool with a view will appeal to children, while the hot spring bath, sauna and spa facilities suit parents. Free WiFi covers the property. With only 6 reviews, its 9.4 rating is promising but early.

I would save KANAYA RESORT HAKONE for a special Hakone trip where the room is the destination. Rooms have balconies and private open-air baths, so a soak does not mean sharing a bath, and the French restaurant and bar make for a slow evening on site. The garden and terrace add space outdoors, and free private parking helps anyone driving in. A 9.4 score from 73 reviews is excellent for a five-star resort.

barhotel Hakone Kazan is an adults-only hotel, so it is not an option for families travelling with children. Parents planning a trip to Hakone without the kids will find a quiet base with mountain views, a hot spring bath, an open-air bath and a bar. Rooms have a tea and coffee maker, a refrigerator, free toiletries and a private bathroom. For a Hakone stay with children, I would choose a hotel or ryokan that welcomes younger guests.

Hakone Fontaine Bleau Sengokutei is an adults-only hotel, so families with children cannot stay here and should choose another Hakone hotel. Adult family groups, such as grown-up children travelling with their parents, will find a calm setting: rooms have mountain views and private bathrooms, and the property offers a private open-air bath, a terrace and a French restaurant with a bar. It is a 4-star hotel rated 9.3 by 54 guests.

Hotel Shikinoyakata Hakone Ashinoko suits families who want a special Hakone stay: rooms come with a private open-air bath and tatami floors, so children can try Japanese bathing in privacy and play on soft flooring. Breakfast offers French, American and Asian options, an easy choice for children. Parents can enjoy the sauna and the bar later in the evening. WiFi is free in public areas. I would book it for a family celebration near Lake Ashi.

Rakuten STAY TERRACE Hakone Kowakudani works well for a family that wants space and independence in Hakone. Rooms have mountain views, a washing machine and a tea and coffee maker, with a kitchenette and a terrace with outdoor seating. A hot spring bath, sauna and private open-air bath let families bathe together. Free private parking helps if you arrive by car. Rated 9.3, I would book it for a slower family stay.

Hotel Zagakukan is adults-only, so I would not suggest it for a family with children; it is a better fit for parents travelling without them. Each room has a private open-air bath, air-conditioning and bathrobes, and the hotel is a six-minute walk from Hakone-Yumoto Station, which keeps arrival simple. Free WiFi, a 24-hour front desk and luggage storage cover the practical side of a short stay.

Sundance Resort Hakone Miyagino is built with families in mind: family rooms come with air-conditioning and garden or mountain views, and the family-friendly restaurant serves European dishes with a buffet breakfast each morning, which makes picky eaters easier to feed. Hot spring baths, a terrace and a tennis court give children and parents something to do on site. Free WiFi covers the public areas. It is a 3-star resort rated 9.0 by 28 guests.

Tsukino Yado Sara offers comfortable family rooms with air-conditioning, balconies and private open-air baths, which makes it one of the more appealing choices in Hakone for a family that wants its own bath. Asian breakfast and dinner are served at the on-site restaurant, and there is a sauna and a terrace to relax on. Free WiFi is included, and Hakone-Yumoto Station is less than a kilometre away.

Hakone Retreat Före sits in the Sengokuhara hot springs area and is the one I would suggest for a family that wants rest more than sightseeing. It has indoor and outdoor onsen baths, with private onsen options, a restaurant and a cafe. Free WiFi, a 24-hour reception and private parking keep the practical side easy. The forest setting is calm, so I would plan outings by car or transport rather than expect a lively neighbourhood.

小田急 山のホテルは芦ノ湖のほとりにあり、広い日本庭園を子どもと散策できます。天然温泉に加えて貸切風呂があり、小さな子連れでも家族だけで入浴できるので、私はおすすめします。

The Prince Hakone Lake Ashinoko stands on the shore of the lake, and I would shortlist it for a family that wants the setting to do the work. There are hot-spring baths with lake views, gardens with Mount Fuji vistas, and spacious rooms with lake or nature views, some with Mount Fuji. A free shuttle bus runs from JR Odawara Shinkansen Station, which helps with luggage on arrival day. Spa treatments are available for the adults.
