2.Recommended One day Spa rating over 3 star in Tokyo Metropolitan

   area

TOKYO

Ikoi no Yu, Tama Sakai    ★★★★( 30min from Tokyo )   900yen

The hot water is hot, but I run, and it is wrapped in the fragrance of the hot spring

because it is a sink, and the source is comfortable. Because the green is abundant for

surroundings, it is a quite good atmosphere.

FUJI / HAKONE

Tenkei , Subashiri Spa      ★★★    ( 15min from Gotenba Outlet ) 

  Tenkei

Shumei-kan, Ubako Spa, Hakone   ★★★★★  ( 30min from Gotenba Outlet ) 2,300yen 

 

 

Ubako Spa is one of the hot springs in the most high place in the hot spring of Hakone.

It is known here as a hot spring working for an eye disease.  The present building repairs

interior decoration neatly while leaving the appearance of the Taisho1930 era.  There is

a big rock with high ceiling made of a hinoki in a bathroom.  The source oozes from Oiwa.

There is also a Shinto straw festoon,  and it seems to be the atmosphere of the hrine.

The bathtub is made of stone. You feel it was thick when I soaked in hot water. It is

mixed in the fragrance of the hinoki and smell generous in the gypsum spring system.

 

  Shumei-kan

Rakuyu Jurin Shizenkan  ★★★★   2,500yen

 

You will make feel that you seem to visit the old villa among forests.  There is not sound

like television and it is very quiet now.  They limit customer to 100 couples on a day not

to be crowded.

  

Matasuzakaya Honten, Ashinoyu Spa ★★★★

 

Hakone was a hot springs resort of the Edo era. The old source sprig  of Hakone is

called seven Hakone hot water, and Ashinoyu is one of them, which is most highest

locationis in Hakone. There is rare one of sulfur springs in Hakone where there is

various nature of the water of a hot spring.  Ashinoyu is the place where bred in a hot

spring in the damp plain of the reed.  A pioneer reclaimed it at the beginning of the Edo

era and cleared the spa.
