Yui no Yado Yaeikan is a ryokan of 20 rooms in Hakone-Yumoto Onsen, Kanagawa, about 85 minutes from Shinjuku by Odakyu Romancecar. Its lobby mixes Japanese style with furniture brought in from Bali. Before you book, three things matter: both meals are served in your room; many rooms have their own bath, open-air bath or sauna; and the official pages we could read do not give the cancellation, payment or child rules, so confirm them when you book.

Getting to Yaeikan from Hakone-Yumoto Station
From Shinjuku, the Odakyu Romancecar reaches Hakone-Yumoto in about 85 minutes. From Tokyo, take the Tokaido Shinkansen to Odawara (about 35 minutes) and the Hakone Tozan Railway to Hakone-Yumoto (about 12 minutes). The inn is within walking distance of the station. A shuttle bus shared by the town’s ryokan also runs from the station, about 3 minutes; board the one for “A: Taki-dori.” The access page asks you to contact the inn for the schedule, and we suggest confirming the fare at the same time. By car, the inn is about 5 minutes from the Hakone-guchi exit of the Odawara-Atsugi Road. The pages do not mention parking. For what to see nearby, see our things to do in Hakone guide.

The baths at Yaeikan
How do the large baths switch?
The men’s and women’s large baths switch at 22:00. From check-in to 22:00, the open-air bath is attached to the women’s side and men use the rock bath; after 22:00 it is the other way round. The water comes straight from three sources, and the inn calls it a “living” spring whose temperature changes a little each day. Ask the inn what time the baths close in the morning.
Is there a private bath?
The Japanese bath page shows two: a private open-air bath with a ceramic tub facing a small garden, and a larger private bath for a group of friends. The pages do not give a fee, hours or how to reserve, so ask at check-in.
Can I bathe with a tattoo?
The official pages do not mention tattoos. Ask the inn before you book, or choose a room with its own bath. Our tattoo and onsen guide explains what to ask.
Meals at Yaeikan
What are dinner and breakfast like?
Dinner is a kaiseki course brought to your room, with a menu that changes every month, seafood from Sagami Bay and local produce. The sample menu on the site runs from plum wine and walnut tofu to seasonal sashimi, a Japanese beef hot plate and a chestnut pudding, and the inn says a chef makes sushi one piece at a time. Breakfast is also served in your room. Ingredients may change with what is available.
Can I add dishes or plan for allergies?
Extra dishes such as beef steak, abalone, spiny lobster sashimi and a whole cake can be ordered up to 4 days before your stay; ask the inn for prices. The pages do not cover allergies or vegetarian meals, so raise them when you book.
