Dai
— Surrounded by forest, a place to unwind. — YUPOPPO Hakone is a small inn located in a quiet forest area of Hakone, offering a relaxed stay surrounded by nature. The owner personally welcomes guests and values creating a space where people can feel calm and comfortable during their stay. A time-slot private hot spring bath is especially popular with couples and families, allowing guests to enjoy the onsen in complete privacy. You can spend unhurried time with your loved ones, without concern for others. In the morning, guests can enjoy the aroma of freshly baked homemade bread. The day begins gently, accompanied by birdsong and the sounds of the forest.
I am a traveler at heart — and a devoted railway enthusiast. Carefully selected railway memorabilia are displayed throughout the inn, adding a touch of charm and sparking curiosity among guests. In earlier years, I traveled across Asia as a backpacker, later spending nearly ten years working at a travel agency planning trips around the world and supporting countless travelers along the way. “I wanted to create a place that feels like coming home — even when you’re far from home.” That simple idea is what led to the creation of YUPOPPO Hakone. Whether you’re looking for local tips in Hakone or advice for your next destination, feel free to ask. As your friendly travel navigator, the host is always happy to help make your journey a little richer.
YUPOPPO Hakone is located in Sengokuhara, a highland area of Hakone known for its clear air and rich seasonal nature. Public transportation such as buses and ropeways is easily accessible, making the inn a convenient base for exploring popular sights including Lake Ashi, Hakone Shrine, and Owakudani. The Hakone Venetian Glass Museum is about a 10-minute walk away, while the Pola Museum of Art can be reached in around 20 minutes on foot. The Hakone Open-Air Museum is also accessible in approximately 25 minutes by bus. For guests who enjoy spending time outdoors, the Sengokuhara Pampas Grass Fields and hiking routes around Mount Kintoki are nearby. Mount Kintoki offers hiking trails suitable for a half-day trip, and on clear days, hikers are rewarded with views of Mount Fuji—— perfect for a truly special day.
