Overview
Hakone Nampuso is a Japanese-style ryokan in the Takidori onsen quarter of Hakone-Yumoto Onsen. The main building has rooms with an onsen open-air bath and the annex has Japanese-Western rooms, and items such as a baby bath, a Bumbo baby seat and baby futon bedding are available to borrow. The communal bath and open-air bath draw on an alkaline simple onsen, and children who are not yet out of diapers are asked to refrain from entering the bathtubs. There is a dedicated dinner menu for children who have not yet started elementary school, making the ryokan a practical base for family sightseeing in Hakone.
Rooms
The main building has 13 Japanese-style tatami rooms and 49 rooms with an onsen open-air bath, and the annex has 50 Japanese-Western rooms. A standard tatami room has a 10-tatami main room plus a hiroen (a wide window-side sitting area), while a Japanese-Western room pairs an 8-tatami Japanese-style area with a 12 sq m Western-style room. In the annex, the Western-style area is furnished with two single beds, and up to four sets of futon bedding can be laid out in the 8-tatami area, which suits families and groups. Among the rooms with an onsen open-air bath, the Wa-Modern Luxury type has a bedroom fitted with Japanese-style twin beds, made by combining futon bedding with mattresses about 20 cm high, so you can line the beds up and co-sleep with your child. All guest rooms are non-smoking, and free Wi-Fi is available.
Dining
Dinner is normally served in the dining hall, and some plans let you choose in-room dining or a private dining room instead. Dinner for children in elementary school is essentially the same as the adult menu, but with a request in advance it can be changed to the Mousugu Otona-sama menu, which brings together Hamburg steak, spaghetti, fried dishes and chawanmushi (savory egg custard). Children under school age who are booked with meals are served the Kids Plate, a mainly Western-style plate with hash brown potatoes, spaghetti and Hamburg steak. Breakfast is a buffet with a wide variety of Japanese, Western and Chinese dishes. The tearoom corner inside the ryokan needs no reservation and serves light meals such as Soshu beef curry and beef stew for a separate charge; the curry is only mildly spiced, so children can eat it easily. The ryokan does not accommodate allergies, vegetarian meals, or religious or cultural dietary restrictions.
Baths and Onsen
The communal baths, Ichi-no-Yu (women's) and Ni-no-Yu (men's), each have an indoor bath and an open-air bath. There is one bath for each gender and no private-hire bath. The spring water is an alkaline simple onsen; it is soft on the skin and mild in character, so pregnant women and small children are said to be able to bathe with peace of mind. Hours are 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. to midnight, and the baths cannot be used from midnight to 6 a.m. or from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Children who are not yet out of diapers are asked to refrain from entering the bathtubs, but a baby bath is provided. The outdoor pool opens for the summer only, running from July 18 to September 13, 2026, with swimming from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. It is a rectangular pool 7 m long and 4 m wide with a water depth of 90 to 100 cm, and there is no children's pool.
