Hakone Onsen, or Hakone Hot Springs, is a general term for numerous thermal spas located in the town of Hakone, Ashigarashimo District, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, an area formerly known as Sagami Province. Situated about 90 kilometres (56 mi) southwest of Tokyo and 60 kilometres (37 mi) east-southeast of Mt. Fuji, it is one of the most popular hot spring resorts in central Japan.[1][2] At least twenty hot spring spring resorts exist around Mt. Hakone,[3] an area that is designated as part of the Fuji Hakone Izu National Park.[4]
