After being refused from another onsen because in a group of 5 I was the one with tattoos (although very small), and not being allowed in even if covered them up, Tenzan accepted us and were nothing but friendly and kind. So nice and relaxing, despite having (unknowingly) made the mistake of starting with the last "pool" - the hottest. It was an incredible experience to quietly sit outside, in the rain, surrounded by bamboo and with your body submerged in warm water. Beware low blood pressure people! It will make it even lower so be very careful - you will feel dizzy/lightheaded in there and after. A little reading break in the nap/resting room is mandatory, where you can quietly enjoy the sound of the river running through a very small waterfall just outside two massive windows. Very beautiful views. A must-do for those who enjoy doing nothing! Afterwards we tried the food at the restaurant which was equally nice (see photos). First photo was in the morning, last photo was the time we left. That's how good of a time we spent there. Highly recommend!

We chose to end our busy day at Hakone Yuryo. What a beautiful way to relax! We hired a private type 2 onsen. Everything was perfect, you get a small little sitting room and your private hot spa which is lovely at night. Pure bliss!

We spent 6 hours here and $150 covered parking, my suit rental, and lunch and entrance to swimsuit side for a family of 4. We adults loved the Mountain view pool with plenty of variety in temp and room for social distancing, the girls loved the water slide (volcano themed right now) and exploring the various pools inside and everyone enjoyed the foot pedicure for 100¥. Look at the hours and line up early, the line gets long. The food at the poolside food court was delicious and on par cost wise for Japan amusement activities with a variety of kid friendly and Japanese cuisine for all ages. Our girls are 8 and they loved it, we were not put off by any of the interior and didn't find things in poor repair like some reviews have indicated. They have also done some modifications for COVID with windows open everywhere possible to increase ventilation, a fan and open door in the cave, and distancing markers in the water slide line. The inside pool was crowded for sure but we felt safe outside and we're able to distance for soaking everywhere but the splash climbing structure
