Motoyu Kansuiro元湯 環翠楼 · もとゆ かんすいろう
Motoyu Kansuiro, on the Hayakawa River in Tonosawa, traces its history back about 400 years, and its 1919 wooden high-rise building is a Registered Tangible Cultural Property; it has 22 Japanese-style rooms. Three free-flowing sources of alkaline simple spring water (pH 8.9) feed a Taisho-era bathhouse, men's and women's open-air baths and the Suehiro-no-Yu private bath, which needs no reservation. Meals are served in the top-floor banquet hall rather than in rooms; the shared shuttle from Hakone-Yumoto Station takes about 5 minutes, or it is about a 7-minute walk from Tonosawa Station.
