Hakone ryokans for couples

For a couple, Natural SPA Auberge gen Hakone Gora is the Hakone ryokan we list that has a hot spring bath in every room and serves dinner in the room. Gora Hanaougi and Hatsuhana have a bath in every room and serve dinner in private dining rooms. Hotel Senkei and Yoshimatsu serve dinner in the room and have rooms with their own hot spring bath.

If you would rather not share the inn with young children: Suiun takes guests of junior high school age and up, Ryokan Motoyu Kansuiro 12 and up, and the Kaze no Tachi wing of Ryokan Aura Tachibana is adults only.
