Kanagawa · Oku Yugawara Tsubaki

1

About the Ryokan

• 🏯Tsubaki (written 海石榴), a refined sukiya-style ryokan tucked deep in the mountains of Oku-Yugawara
• 🌺The name comes from an old word for the camellia, the flowering tree that symbolizes Yugawara
• 🪷29 rooms in all across the main building and guesthouse, wrapped in a garden pond that changes with the seasons

2

Hot Springs

• ♨️Clear, gentle sodium-calcium chloride sulfate spring water, pH 8.1, drawn at 58.2°C from Yugawara
• 🌲An open-air bath ringed by pond and forest, men's and women's baths each looking up toward the mountains
• 🛁The grand bath, lined with Izu stone, overlooks the garden and is open from 15:00 to 10:00 the next morning

Open-Air Baths

• 🍃The women's open-air bath, with birdsong and the rustle of leaves, opens onto distant mountain peaks
• ⛰️The men's open-air bath feels cradled by the mountainside, facing a gradient of sky and green
• 🧖‍♀️The women's grand bath includes private grooming booths for an unhurried routine

Cuisine

• 🍱A seasonal kaiseki from a self-described 'ryotei you can stay the night at' — every ingredient, dish, and technique considered
• 🐟Menus change with the seasons, built on local ingredients and rare produce from Hokkaido

Rooms

• 🛏️Room types range from 50㎡ main-building Japanese rooms to 70–100㎡ rooms with open-air baths and the guest-house suites
• 🌳Main-building rooms face the Hakone outer rim ridgeline and the pond garden below, changing with the seasons
• 🏞️The Geihinkan guest house has just 5 rooms on a thousand tsubo of land, borrowing the Hakone mountains as scenery
