Takumi no Yado Yoshimatsu is a ryokan on a small hill above Lake Ashi in Hakone, near the Hakone-machi-ko boat pier. It serves a monthly Kyoto-style kaiseki in your room, has two large baths of simple sulfur spring water, and seven of its rooms have their own open-air hot spring bath. Before you book, three things matter: stays are limited to two nights at most; there is no elevator, only stairs; and guests with tattoos cannot use the large baths.

The Hakone onsen baths at Takumi no Yado Yoshimatsu
What are the large baths like?
There are two large baths, Sagami-no-yu and Suruga-no-yu, each with an indoor and an open-air bath. The men’s and women’s curtains are swapped after dinner, so you can try both open-air baths, and the baths stay open through the night. The water is a simple sulfur spring at 43°C.
Is there a private bath?
Yes. The family bath is indoors, locks from inside, needs no booking and is free. The open-air baths in the seven rooms that have one also use hot spring water.
Can I bathe with a tattoo?
Guests with tattoos cannot use the large baths. The inn asks them to use the family bath or to book a room with its own open-air bath. If a small tattoo can be hidden with a cover sticker, the large baths may be allowed. Our tattoo and onsen guide explains how this works across Japan.
Meals at Takumi no Yado Yoshimatsu
What are dinner and breakfast like?
Dinner is a Kyoto-style kaiseki that changes every month, from an aperitif and appetizers through soup, sashimi, grilled and simmered dishes to rice and dessert. Both meals are brought to your room: dinner at 18:00 or 18:30 and breakfast at 8:30 or 9:00. Groups of five or more eat where the inn decides, in the room or a private dining room. A birthday cake costs extra and must be ordered three days before.
Can the inn handle allergies or a special diet?
The official pages say the inn does not cater for vegetarian, gluten-free, seafood-allergy or halal diets. They do not mention other allergies, so ask the inn before you book.
