Trip Highlight
A Night at the Ryokan
While you’ll stay in western-style hotels and hostels for most nights on this trip, in Hakone you’ll spend the night in a traditional Japanese inn, or ryokan. After a multicourse meal of local dishes and a soak in the baths fed by one of Hakone’s famous hot springs, you’ll sleep in the charming, age-old style of a futon atop a tatami floor.
