Hotel • Yugawara Station
Hot-spring hotel
Hotel Shiroyama began as a ryokan in 1950 and is now operated under the Forest Group as a Western-style hot-spring hotel. The March 2024 renovation updated the 5th and 6th floors with new guest rooms and the 4th floor public bath area - choosing a renovated room here means the fixtures are genuinely new. The address is Shirokubi 207, two minutes on foot from JR Yugawara Station, making it the most convenient hot-spring accommodation to the station in the guide.
Yugawara's natural spring feeds the main communal baths - a large indoor bath, an outdoor cypress bath with a view, a waterfall bath, and a sauna. The radon bath is a separate offering confirmed as unusual in the Izu-Hakone region; radon-water bathing has a documented tradition in Japanese therapeutic contexts. Private outdoor baths are available by reservation at ¥2,700 / 45 minutes (12:00-22:30) - useful if you want the private outdoor-bath experience without upgrading your room.
Kaiseki dinner is served in-room for standard rooms; the renovated 6th floor rooms have a dedicated dining area. The cuisine is creative Japanese-Western kaiseki with local seafood and seasonal mountain vegetables - multiple reviewers noted high-quality dashi and generous portions.

Data notes
These are points where the platforms and official pages we consulted gave us conflicting information.
- Walk time from station: Researcher confirmed 2 minutes on foot. Prior guide entry listed 5 minutes - corrected here.
