日本新年最佳旅館：7間值得多花那筆錢的正月住宿（2026–2027）

60分鐘閱讀·更新於 2026年6月

*Rates and programs verified for the 2026–2027 New Year period.*

At 11 PM on December 31, a tray arrives at your door: a lacquered bowl of toshikoshi soba, the broth still steaming. Somewhere below, on the river, you can hear it — the low, rhythmic toll of a temple bell beginning its count toward 108. The outdoor rotenburo is calling. The snow is already on the pines. Choosing the best ryokan for New Year in Japan is a different decision from a standard onsen booking — the season has its own rituals, its own meal structure, and its own booking timeline that catches most travelers off guard. Most travel articles about Japan during New Year tell you to stay away — the crowds, the closed restaurants, the inflated prices. That advice misses the point entirely. If you have a ryokan booked, Oshogatsu is not an obstacle. It is the experience. Every cultural thread of the holiday period — the bells, the ceremonial food, the first sunrise, the shrine visit — runs directly through the ryokan stay. This guide is for travelers who have already decided they want to be in Japan for New Year and are now working out where to go and which ryokan to book. You'll find seven specific properties across six onsen areas, with honest scorecards covering price, English support, tattoo policy, and shrine access. You'll also find a hatsumode table, a realistic booking timeline, and a rescue plan if December 31 inventory is already gone. These picks are drawn from a verified database of 293 ryokan across 30 onsen areas in Japan — the same properties that populate this site's the best season to visit a ryokan. New Year availability moves fast; check each property's booking page directly for current plans. ---

If you're searching for the best ryokan for New Year in Japan, knowing what the holiday actually looks like inside a property is the first step. Oshogatsu — Japan's New Year — runs from January 1 through 3, with the lead-up period from December 28 onward treated as year-end preparation. For Japanese families, this is the most significant holiday of the year, a time of ritual, rest, and returning home. Foreigners sometimes experience it as a logistical complication. At a well-run ryokan, it unfolds as something else: a slow, structured ceremony you get to inhabit. Toshikoshi soba arrives on December 31, typically served in the evening before midnight. The tradition dates to the mid-Edo period — surveys show roughly 70% of Japanese people eat buckwheat noodles on New Year's Eve (Just One Cookbook). The noodles are long and thin, symbolizing longevity; their ease of cutting symbolizes leaving the year's difficulties behind. One thing to know: finishing the bowl matters. Leaving noodles is considered bad luck. Then comes joya no kane. Temple bells across Japan ring 108 times on New Year's Eve — 107 strikes before midnight and one final toll to ring in the New Year (Wikipedia — Joya no Kane). The 108 rings represent the 108 earthly desires in Buddhist teaching, each stroke a small act of purification. Whether you hear this from your outdoor bath or walk to a nearby temple depends on the onsen area you choose — and that choice is worth making deliberately. Nikko is the standout: three separate temples begin their ceremonies at 11 PM on December 31. New Year's morning opens with osechi-ryori — the tiered lacquered boxes (jubako) that are one of Japan's oldest New Year food traditions. Each compartment carries meaning: kuromame (black soybeans) represent hard work and good health; kazunoko (herring roe) signals fertility and family prosperity; datemaki (sweet rolled omelette) symbolizes learning; ebi (shrimp) wishes long life (Japanese Cultural Center of Hawaii). The flavors skew sweet, preserved, and briny — quite different from kaiseki. As a foreign traveler, treat osechi as a cultural tasting flight, not your main meal. Your full kaiseki dinner the night before remains the centerpiece. Alongside the osechi arrives ozoni — a mochi rice-cake soup whose ingredients shift by region — and otoso, a spiced sake served at breakfast that Kinnotake Resort in Hakone, among others, includes automatically without extra charge. Displayed somewhere in the lobby or dining room you'll spot the kagami mochi: two round rice cakes stacked with a bitter orange on top, their circular shape referencing the sacred mirror of Shinto tradition. If you're staying in Hakone on January 2 or 3, walk to the roadside and watch the Hakone Ekiden relay race pass through — one of Japan's most-watched New Year sports events, run annually since 1920. For a deeper primer on ryokan etiquette and what to expect on your first stay, see the first-time ryokan guide.

Hatsumode — the first shrine or temple visit of the New Year, traditionally made sometime between January 1 and 3 — is one of those rituals that sounds simple and lands hard. Meiji Jingu in Tokyo draws approximately 3 million visitors in three days, with queue times of up to three hours to reach the main shrine (Activity Japan). Hatsumode at an onsen town shrine takes twenty minutes and feels like it belongs to you. The ritual for visitors is the same as for Japanese worshippers: toss a coin into the offertory box, bow twice, clap twice, bow once. Shrines are open to all visitors regardless of religious background. Omikuji fortune slips (¥100–200) and omamori protective charms (¥500–1,000) are sold at stalls and are culturally appropriate for anyone to take home. Both are cash-only.

These picks span roughly $120–$900 per person per night at normal-season rates and cover travelers based in Tokyo (Hakone, Kusatsu, Nikko), Kansai (Arima, Kinosaki), Hokkaido (Noboribetsu), and Tohoku/Nagano (Ginzan). New Year plans carry a surcharge on top of base rates — the only verified figure from a named property's official booking page is Hakone Ginyu's +¥14,300 per person on top of the standard nightly rate for December 31–January 3. Use that as your reference point; other properties will vary. Each pick below includes a scorecard so you can compare at a glance. New Year inventory for the most popular properties opens in September–October and sells out within weeks. Booking via Trip.com, Booking.com, or Expedia gives non-Japanese speakers English-language customer support and clear cancellation terms — advantages worth having at these price points. ---

Scorecard - Area: Hakone, Kanagawa — Explore Hakone ryokans - Normal-season price: $400–$900 per person per night (inc. two meals) - New Year surcharge: +¥14,300 per person on top of C-rate nightly price for Dec 31–Jan 3 [verified, Hakone Ginyu official reservation page] - New Year program: Toshikoshi soba Dec 31; osechi-ryori Jan 1 breakfast; otoso sake; hatsumode transport arrangements - English-friendly: Yes - Tattoo policy: All 20 rooms have private open-air baths — communal-bath tattoo restrictions are irrelevant - Onsen type: Multiple spring types; private open-air baths in every room - Nearest hatsumode: Hakone Shrine on Lake Ashi (~20 min taxi); midnight fireworks visible from the lake - Rating: 9.3/10 (124 reviews) Hakone Ginyu sits on a cliff face above the Hayakawa Valley, about three minutes from Miyanoshita Station, with every one of its 20 rooms arranged so the private rotenburo faces the valley and, on clear mornings, Mount Fuji. The property works for New Year specifically because of geography: Hakone Shrine's midnight fireworks — around 1,000 shells launched over Lake Ashi at the stroke of midnight, reflected on the water — are accessible by shuttle from Hakone Yumoto Station without a car. Then on January 2 and 3, the Hakone Ekiden relay race passes through the area, one of Japan's most-watched New Year sports events and something you can watch roadside before returning to soak. The surcharge here — the only property in this guide with a verified, named figure — is ¥14,300 per person on top of the base rate. That covers the New Year meal program and cultural activities. For context: Kinnotake Resort, a nearby Hakone ryokan with a documented New Year program, charges ¥2,000 per person for optional activities like calligraphy and hanetsuki, ¥7,000 for a hakama photo session, and includes mochi-pounding and Ekiden TV viewing at no extra cost [Kinnotake Resort official New Year page]. These figures give you a reference for what "New Year programming" actually costs to produce. The honest downside: with only 20 rooms and a strong reputation among repeat guests, Hakone Ginyu books out fast. If you're reading this in November, check availability immediately.

Scorecard - Area: Kinosaki Onsen, Hyogo — Explore Kinosaki ryokans - Normal-season price: $400–$900 per person per night (inc. two meals) - New Year plan: Carries a seasonal premium; verify current program and pricing on booking page - New Year program: Winter kaiseki centered on matsuba-gani (snow crab) and Tajima beef; access to all seven public soto-yu bathhouses; osechi on Jan 1 - English-friendly: Yes - Tattoo policy: Private open-air bath available in the Honjin-no-Ma suite; confirm public bathhouse policy before booking - Onsen type: Sodium chloride spring; plus passes to 7 distinct public soto-yu - Nearest hatsumode: Onsenji Temple via Mt. Daishi ropeway, 15 min walk + ropeway from town center - Rating: 9.2/10 (198 reviews) Nishimuraya Honkan was founded in 1860, making it one of the older operating ryokan in the Kansai region. It's also a Relais & Châteaux member and Michelin-recommended — the kind of property that earns both labels without needing to remind you. What makes it the right New Year pick is the timing: matsuba-gani, the local name for snow crab caught off the Sea of Japan coast, peaks exactly in winter. A kaiseki course built around matsuba-gani in January at Kinosaki is about as good as Japanese hot-spring dining gets. Kinosaki's infrastructure strengthens the case. The town's seven public bathhouses (soto-yu) all operate year-round, and guests of Nishimuraya Honkan receive a free meguri pass to visit all of them. Walking the bathhouse circuit in a ryokan yukata and hanten jacket through falling snow, wooden geta clacking on the stone paths along the Otani River, is one of those experiences that earns its cliché. January averages 126 cm of snowfall in Kinosaki — the scenery is not guaranteed, but it's reliably likely [Visit Kinosaki — official]. In early January, the Dezomeshiki fire brigade parade moves through town, firefighters in traditional gear performing a water hose display over the river. It's a photogenic local ritual, not a tourist production. Getting there from Osaka or Kyoto is direct — the Konotori limited express takes about 2.5 to 3 hours.

Scorecard - Area: Kusatsu Onsen, Gunma — Explore Kusatsu ryokans - Normal-season price: $350–$700 per person per night (inc. two meals) - New Year plan: Carries a seasonal premium; verify on booking page — no verified English-language New Year package program confirmed at time of writing - New Year program: Toshikoshi soba and osechi standard at most Kusatsu ryokan; Yumomi ceremony at Netsunoyu runs 6x daily year-round (¥700) [Deep Japan — verified] - English-friendly: Yes - Tattoo policy: Semi-open-air private baths available in the Sen'yutei wing - Onsen type: Strongly acidic sulfur spring, pH 2.0 — among Japan's most concentrated natural hot springs - Nearest hatsumode: Kosenji Temple steps from the Yubatake hot-spring field; Kusatsu Jinja 5–10 min walk - Rating: 9.0/10 (310 reviews) Naraya has been drawing water from the Shirahata-no-Yu source — Kusatsu's oldest — since 1877. The Sen'yutei wing's maisonette rooms sit above the steaming Yubatake, the wide open-air hot-spring field at the center of town, making Naraya the only lodging in Kusatsu with that particular view. A dedicated yumori artisan tends the spring daily, which is a title that exists at exactly the number of properties you'd expect it to: very few. Kusatsu's spring chemistry is the real draw here. At pH 2.0, the sulfur water is among the most acidic naturally occurring hot springs in Japan — noticeably different to soak in, with a tingling quality that regular onsen travelers describe as intensely clean-feeling. At Netsunoyu, the covered performance space near the Yubatake, the Yumomi ceremony runs six times daily throughout New Year: women in traditional dress paddle long wooden boards through the water to cool it before bathing, accompanied by folk songs. Admission is ¥700 and remains available through the holiday period. One practical note: Kusatsu has no direct Shinkansen connection. Getting there from Tokyo takes about three hours via JR and bus. During the New Year transport crunch (December 29–January 4, Shinkansen and long-distance buses are heavily booked), plan this leg carefully and book train tickets alongside the ryokan.

Scorecard - Area: Arima Onsen, Hyogo — Explore Arima ryokans - Normal-season price: $235–$600 per person per night (inc. two meals) - New Year plan: Carries a seasonal premium; verify on booking page - New Year program: Osechi-ryori, toshikoshi soba Dec 31, Kobe beef kaiseki dinner; Taiko no Yu nearby adds ¥500 surcharge per person Jan 1–3 [Hankyu Railway — verified] - English-friendly: Yes - Tattoo policy: Private bathing options available; confirm communal-bath policy directly - Onsen type: Two spring types — kinsen (iron-rich golden water) and ginsen (radium/carbonic acid silver water) - Nearest hatsumode: Yunojinja Shrine and Onsenji Temple in Arima's old town lanes (5 min walk); Sumiyoshi Taisha (Osaka, 30 min by train) - Rating: Not yet rated in database Tocen Goshobo is one of the oldest ryokan in Japan, with over 800 years of history beside the Taki River in Arima — referenced in historical records that place Arima's hot springs among the oldest in Japan, first documented in the Nihon Shoki in 720 AD. The property has 20 rooms and something that most ryokan brochures can't quite convey: a sense of scale that actually fits the narrow stone lanes of old Arima town. Walking from the gate to the entrance takes about thirty seconds, with the Taki River audible below. The building settles into its surroundings rather than announcing itself. Those waters are what make Arima distinctive in the Kansai region. Kinsen, the golden spring, gets its amber color from dissolved iron and salt — the same minerals that stain the stonework around the baths a deep ochre over time. You notice the color before you notice the warmth. Ginsen, the silver spring, runs colorless and rich in radium and carbonic acid, producing a lighter, slightly effervescent sensation that sits in contrast to kinsen's dense heat. Finding both spring characters at the same property is rare; most onsen destinations commit to one type and build around it. The honest caveat for Tocen Goshobo: rooms in the older sections of the building can feel their age relative to what the nightly rate suggests. The cultural weight and spring quality are real, but guests expecting a fully renovated luxury interior — the kind you'd find at FUFU Nikko or Hakone Ginyu — may want to manage expectations. For Kansai-based travelers, the location holds. Thirty minutes from Kobe, easily reachable from Osaka and Kyoto, and with Sumiyoshi Taisha — one of Japan's most significant hatsumode sites — accessible by train in 30 minutes. The local Yunojinja Shrine is five minutes on foot when you want something quieter. ---

Scorecard - Area: Noboribetsu Onsen, Hokkaido — Explore Noboribetsu ryokans - Normal-season price: $120–$350 per person per night (inc. two meals) — lowest price tier in this guide - New Year plan: Carries a seasonal premium; verify on booking page - New Year program: Osechi and toshikoshi soba standard; Noboribetsu Date Jidaimura Edo New Year Festival Jan 1–3 nearby — free sake, amazake, lion dances, tosenkyo game [LIVE JAPAN — verified] - English-friendly: Yes (listed on international platforms) - Tattoo policy: Large communal baths — confirm tattoo policy directly with the property before booking - Onsen type: 35 pools across 1,500 sqm fed by multiple natural spring types (sulfur, iron, salt, and alum among them) - Nearest hatsumode: Yukake Jizo shrine in onsen town (5 min); Hokkaido Shrine in Sapporo (1 hr by JR) - Rating: Not yet rated in database In January, with Hokkaido snow blanketing the valley, the contrast between the sulfurous grey steam rising from Jigokudani and the white snowpack directly below is striking — and it's visible from the property grounds. Dai-ichi Takimotokan has been operating since 1858 and grown into something closer to an onsen resort complex than a traditional ryokan: 393 rooms, a 1,500-square-meter bathing floor, 35 pools fed by multiple distinct spring types. It sits at the edge of Jigokudani, the "hell valley" geothermal crater where steam vents year-round. If your criterion is Hokkaido winter at a manageable price, Dai-ichi is the answer. Normal-season rates start around $120 per person per night including meals — meaningfully lower than the Hakone and Kinosaki luxury tier. New Year plans carry a premium above that base, but the starting point makes it accessible for travelers who want deep Hokkaido winter without the Hakone price tag. The tradeoff is scale: with 393 rooms, Dai-ichi Takimotokan is large enough that the experience feels more resort than intimate inn. The communal baths are where the money is spent. The Noboribetsu Date Historic Village (Jidaimura), a five-minute walk from most ryokan in town, runs an Edo-period New Year Festival from January 1 through 3 with free sake, amazake, lion dances, and tosenkyo (traditional fan-tossing). This is a low-key, well-curated cultural program that most foreign visitors completely miss. ---

Scorecard - Area: Nikko, Tochigi — Explore Nikko ryokans - Normal-season price: $400–$900 per person per night (inc. two meals) - New Year plan: Carries a seasonal premium; verify on booking page - New Year program: Toshikoshi soba Dec 31; osechi-ryori Jan 1 breakfast; otoso sake; proximity to Toshogu 6 AM prayer service Jan 1 and three temple joya no kane Dec 31 - English-friendly: Yes - Tattoo policy: Every suite has a private in-room hot-spring bath — communal-bath tattoo policy is a non-issue - Onsen type: Private in-room onsen baths in all 24 suites; alkaline simple spring (Yumoto-type waters nearby) - Nearest hatsumode: Nikko Toshogu Shrine — UNESCO World Heritage, 6 AM New Year prayer service Jan 1 [Nikko Official Guide — verified] - Rating: 9.1/10 (310 reviews) FUFU Nikko is an all-suite luxury property (24 suites), adjacent to the Tamozawa Imperial Villa and within walking distance of the UNESCO World Heritage shrine complex that makes Nikko one of Japan's most architecturally dense sites. Each suite has a private hot-spring bath — which matters for New Year when you want the option of soaking at 11:30 PM in silence before the bells start. What separates Nikko from the other areas in this guide is the sheer density of New Year ritual. Three separate temples begin their joya no kane ceremonies at 11 PM on December 31: Nikkosan Rinnoji, Nikkosan Chuzenji, and Nikkosan Onsenji [Nikko Official Guide]. You can attend one, walk to another, or listen from your ryokan as the bells overlap across the valley. At Nikko Futarasan-jinja, complimentary local sake is offered during New Year prayers. At 6 AM on January 1, the Toshogu Shrine opens its New Year prayer service — probably the most historically significant hatsumode in eastern Japan after Meiji Jingu, with a fraction of the crowds. The practical note: Nikko is about two hours from Tokyo by Tobu Limited Express. English support at smaller inns in the area is limited; FUFU Nikko's listing on international platforms gives you the support infrastructure for a high-stakes booking. See our broader guide on winter onsen stays for context on the Kanto-area options. ---

Scorecard - Area: Ginzan Onsen, Yamagata — Explore Ginzan ryokans - Normal-season price: $250–$500 per person per night (inc. two meals) - New Year plan: Carries a seasonal premium; verify on booking page - New Year program: Osechi-ryori and toshikoshi soba standard; atmospheric gas-lit riverfront snow scenery is the main event - English-friendly: No — book via an English-language booking platform (Trip.com, Booking.com); expect limited English on-site - Tattoo policy: Reservable private family bath available; ask about communal-bath policy at time of booking - Onsen type: Sodium chloride sulfate spring; three indoor/outdoor baths plus reservable family bath - Nearest hatsumode: Small local shrines in Obanazawa (40 min by bus); no major shrine nearby - Rating: Not yet rated in database Notoya Ryokan is the most photographed building at Ginzan Onsen — its ornate, six-story Taisho-era wooden facade rising above the gas-lit riverfront is the image most people associate with "quintessential Japanese onsen town in winter." That recognition is earned. The building is a registered tangible cultural property, and it looks exactly like what it is: over a century of continuous ryokan history, built in an architectural style that peaked in the 1920s and was never repeated at this scale. January is Ginzan's peak snow month, with deep, reliable winter snowfall blanketing the narrow valley. The town has no chain hotels, no souvenir shops selling keyrings, and virtually no tourist infrastructure beyond the ryokan and a handful of eating spots. At New Year, when the rest of Japan is navigating the Oshogatsu crowds, Ginzan is quiet in a way that feels specific. Gas lanterns reflect on the river ice. The bells you hear come from local village shrines, not the amplified ceremony of a major temple. The tradeoff is practical: English is limited on-site. Getting here requires a 40-minute bus ride from Oishida Station, itself a JR journey from major Tohoku cities. There is no major hatsumode shrine within easy reach. This is the pick for travelers who want the snow-town atmosphere over the cultural-ritual density — and who are comfortable navigating a Japanese-language environment for the duration of their stay. ---

The hard truth: December 31 check-in at a quality ryokan is effectively sold out 2–4 months in advance. For the 2027 New Year period, the booking window opens roughly June–September 2026. Most Jalan.net and Rakuten Travel New Year plans post in September–October, and the most reviewed properties on those platforms fill within days [Japan Travel Pros; Tripadvisor Japan Travel Forum community consensus]. For non-Japanese speakers using Trip.com, Booking.com, or Expedia, inventory typically becomes visible three to six months out. Set a search alert and check regularly in September — don't wait for October. The price premium at New Year is real and worth understanding clearly. The only verified surcharge figure from a named property's official booking page is Hakone Ginyu: +¥14,300 per person on top of the standard C-rate nightly price for December 31 through January 3 [Hakone Ginyu official reservation page]. That covers the New Year meal program and cultural activities. Saturday and national holiday rates across all ryokan categories already run 20–40% above midweek base rates [Ryokan Finder 2026 Cost Guide]; New Year stacks a further premium on top of that. What the premium buys you concretely: toshikoshi soba, osechi-ryori at breakfast, otoso sake, cultural activities (calligraphy, mochi-pounding), and enhanced kaiseki courses. Avoid any source that quotes a 2x–3x multiplier without citing a specific property — that figure is not property-verified.

Book transport at the same time as the ryokan. Shinkansen and limited express trains are heavily booked December 29 through January 4. For Kusatsu especially (no direct Shinkansen), secure the JR + bus leg the moment the ryokan is confirmed. For more on ryokan booking windows generally, see ryokan booking tips.

If you're reading this in November or December and the December 31 inventory is gone at your target properties, you have more options than the sold-out screen suggests. Shift dates. December 30 check-in is the insider move. You arrive before the crowds, the onsen is noticeably quieter on the 30th, and you're already in position for the bells on December 31 and the full January 1 program. December 30 is often available when December 31 is fully booked, and at a lower rate. You still get everything: toshikoshi soba that evening, joya no kane, osechi on New Year's morning, hatsumode on January 1.

Try onsen towns with less competitive New Year inventory. Nikko, for instance, has less international demand than Hakone or Kinosaki and still delivers the densest joya no kane experience of any area in this guide. Ginzan Onsen in Yamagata is particularly overlooked by international travelers — the snow-town atmosphere is the main event, not the shrine access. These are not consolation prizes; they're different experiences, each with a genuine New Year character. Watch for cancellations. Cancellations at major ryokan do appear, sometimes two to four weeks out as guests revise plans. Check Trip.com's "last available" filters. If you read Japanese, set an alert on Jalan.net. The window is narrow but real. Extend to January 2–3 check-in. After the midnight peak, January 2 inventory opens up considerably. You still receive osechi-ryori, hatsumode access, and much quieter onsen conditions. Rates for January 2–3 tend to be 20–30% lower than the December 31 peak night. City ryokan as a hybrid. When onsen towns are fully booked, a Tokyo or Kyoto machiya inn near a major shrine gives you hatsumode access on foot and the ryokan experience without the transport scramble. Yasaka Shrine in Kyoto holds the Okera Mairi ceremony on New Year's Eve — visitors light a hemp rope from the sacred fire and carry it home to start their New Year's ozoni. It's a uniquely atmospheric experience for a city-based stay. For broader seasonal booking advice, see best season to visit a ryokan and when to book your Japan trip. ---

The ryokan supplies yukata (light cotton robe) and a hanten (padded jacket) for wearing around the property and into town. Wear the left side over the right — right-over-left is the funeral convention and staff will gently correct you, but it's worth knowing before you walk through the lobby. - Slip-on sandals or slippers — ryokan provides geta (wooden clogs) or zori, but your own lightweight slip-ons make late-night rotenburo trips easier in snow and ice - Warm base layers — air temperature in January at Hakone, Kinosaki, or Ginzan can drop well below freezing; you'll want thermal underlayers for outdoor onsen, where the water may be 40°C while the air is −3°C - Cash for hatsumode — omikuji fortune slips (¥100–200), omamori protective charms (¥500–1,000), and ema wooden wishing plaques (¥500–1,000) are sold at shrine stalls and are cash-only; ATMs at convenience stores are the easiest source - Small daypack — for carrying hatsumode items, a thermos, and a camera on shrine visits - Charged phone — for the midnight countdown; also useful for translation apps at shrines with limited English signage A note on onsen rules: shower fully at the washing station before entering any communal bath, keep hair pinned up and away from the water, and leave phones and cameras at the edge. If your property has a communal bath and you have tattoos, verify the policy before arrival — it's listed in each scorecard above, and the tattoo-friendly ryokans guide covers this in more depth.

Finding the best ryokan for New Year in Japan rewards planning — and it rewards picking the area before you pick the property. Tokyo-based travelers default to Hakone, with Kusatsu or Nikko as strong alternatives. Kansai-based travelers choose between Arima (closer, more accessible) and Kinosaki (more immersive, better snow). Hokkaido in winter belongs to Noboribetsu. The snow-town experience without the crowds points to Ginzan in Yamagata. All seven properties here are drawn from a verified database of 293 ryokan across 30 onsen areas — browse the full inventory for each area to find availability that matches your dates and budget.

*住宿費率與方案已針對2026至2027年新年期間核實。*

除夕夜晚間十一點，房務人員輕輕敲門，端來一份漆器托盤：一碗熱氣蒸騰的跨年蕎麥麵（toshikoshi soba），湯汁仍在冒煙。樓下某處，河面上傳來低沉而有節奏的鐘聲，一下一下地向108敲去。戶外露天風呂在等著您，松枝上已積了一層白雪。選擇日本新年最佳旅館，和一般的溫泉預訂是全然不同的決定——這個季節有它自己的儀式、自己的餐食結構，也有自己的預訂時機，往往讓旅客措手不及。 大多數介紹日本新年的旅遊文章，都勸您避開這段時間——人潮洶湧、餐廳閉店、物價飛漲。這種建議完全誤解了重點。只要您已預訂旅館，正月（Oshogatsu）就不是障礙，而是體驗本身。節日期間一切文化脈絡——除夕鐘聲、儀式料理、新春第一道曙光、神社初詣——都通過旅館住宿這條線穿起來。 這份指南是為了那些已決定要在日本跨年、現在正在考慮去哪裡、訂哪間旅館的旅客而寫。您將找到分布於六個溫泉區、共七間特定旅館，附有涵蓋價格、英語服務、刺青政策與神社距離的誠實評分卡。此外還有一份初詣（hatsumode）比較表、一份切實可行的預訂時程，以及萬一除夕空房已售罄時的備案計畫。 這些推薦來自一份涵蓋日本30個溫泉區、共293間旅館的核實資料庫——也就是本站最佳旅館入住季節頁面所呈現的旅館。新年空房異動極快；請直接前往各旅館訂房頁面查詢最新方案。 ---

如果您正在搜尋日本新年最佳旅館，首先了解節日在旅館裡的真實樣貌是第一步。正月——日本的新年——從1月1日延續至3日，12月28日起即進入年末準備期。對日本家庭而言，這是一年中最重要的節日，充滿儀式感、休憩與返鄉的意義。外國旅客有時感受到的是行程上的複雜，但在管理完善的旅館裡，它呈現的是另一種面貌：一場緩慢而有序的儀式，讓您得以真正置身其中。 跨年蕎麥麵（toshikoshi soba）在除夕夜送達，通常於午夜前的傍晚供應。這個傳統可追溯至江戶中期——調查顯示，日本約七成的人在除夕夜吃蕎麥麵（Just One Cookbook）。麵條細長，象徵長壽；易於切斷，則象徵斬斷這一年的煩惱。有一點要記住：碗裡的麵最好吃完，留麵被視為不吉利。 接著是除夕鐘聲（joya no kane）。除夕夜，日本全國的寺院鐘聲敲響108下——午夜前敲107下，最後一下迎接新年的到來（維基百科——除夜の鐘）。108響代表佛教教義中的108種煩惱，每一聲都是一次小小的淨化。您是在露天風呂中聆聽，還是步行至附近寺院親身感受，取決於您選擇的溫泉區——而這個選擇值得審慎考量。日光（Nikko）最為出色：三座寺院在除夕夜11點同時展開儀式。 新年早晨以日式新年料理（osechi-ryori）開場——層疊的漆器方盒（重箱，jubako），是日本最古老的新年飲食傳統之一。每一格都有其寓意：黑豆（kuromame）代表勤勞與健康；數の子（kazunoko，鯡魚卵）寓意多子多孫、家族繁榮；伊達卷（datemaki，甜味厚蛋捲）象徵學識；蝦（ebi）祈願長壽（夏威夷日本文化中心）。口味偏甜、鹹香、醃漬——與懷石料理（kaiseki）相當不同。身為外國旅客，不妨把日式新年料理當成一趟文化試吃體驗，而非主餐。前一晚豐盛的懷石晚餐才是重頭戲。與日式新年料理一起上桌的，還有雜煮（ozoni）——一種加入麻糬（mochi）的湯品，食材因地區而異——以及屠蘇酒（otoso），一種早餐時飲用的香料清酒，包括箱根的金乃竹（Kinnotake Resort）在內的部分旅館，已將屠蘇酒列為標準供應，不另加收費用。 大廳或餐廳的某處，您會看到鏡餅（kagami mochi）：兩個圓形米糕疊放，頂端擺著一顆橙子，圓形象徵神道傳統中的神聖鏡子。若您在1月2日或3日住宿箱根，可以走到路邊觀看每年舉辦的箱根驛傳（Hakone Ekiden）接力賽途經此地——這是日本新年收視率最高的體育賽事之一，自1920年起每年舉行至今。 想更深入了解旅館禮節與初次住宿的完整攻略，請參閱旅館新手指南。

初詣（hatsumode）——新年期間（通常在1月1日至3日之間）首次前往神社或寺院參拜——聽起來簡單，實際感受卻深刻難忘。東京明治神宮三天內吸引約300萬名參拜者，排隊等候時間長達三小時（Activity Japan）。在溫泉小鎮的神社參拜初詣，二十分鐘便能完成，感覺像是屬於您自己的儀式。 參拜方式與日本信眾相同：投一枚硬幣入奉獻箱，鞠躬兩次，拍手兩次，再鞠躬一次。神社對所有人開放，無論宗教背景。御神籤（omikuji，¥100至200）與御守（omamori，¥500至1,000）在攤位上有售，任何人都可以帶回家留念，兩者均需現金付款。

以下推薦涵蓋平時每人每晚約120至900美元（USD，約新台幣3,900至29,000元NT$）的旅館，以及以東京為據點（箱根、草津、日光）、以關西為據點（有馬、城崎）、以北海道為據點（登別）與以東北／長野為據點（銀山）的旅客。新年方案會在一般費率之上加收附加費——唯一已核實來自官方訂房頁面的具體數字是箱根吟遊（Hakone Ginyu）的每人 +14,300日圓，適用於12月31日至1月3日，在一般每晚費率之上加計。請以此作為參考基準；其他旅館的加收金額各有不同。以下每間旅館均附評分卡，方便對照比較。 最受歡迎的旅館，新年空房通常在9月至10月開放預訂，數週內便售罄。透過Trip.com、Booking.com或Expedia預訂，可為非日語旅客提供英語客服與明確的取消條款——在這個價位，這些優勢值得考量。 ---

評分卡 - 所在區域： 神奈川縣箱根——探索箱根旅館 - 平時費率： 每人每晚400至900美元（USD）（含兩餐） - 新年附加費： 12月31日至1月3日，在一般每晚費率基礎上每人加收 +¥14,300〔已核實，箱根吟遊官方訂房頁面〕 - 新年方案： 12月31日提供跨年蕎麥麵；1月1日早餐供應日式新年料理；屠蘇酒；協助安排初詣交通 - 英語友善： 是 - 刺青政策： 全館20間客房均設私人露天風呂——公共浴池的刺青限制問題不存在 - 溫泉類型： 多種泉質；每間客房均設私人露天風呂 - 最近初詣： 蘆之湖畔箱根神社（計程車約20分鐘）；可從湖邊欣賞午夜煙火 - 評分： 9.3/10（124則評價） 箱根吟遊坐落於早川谷地的崖壁之上，距宮ノ下車站（Miyanoshita Station）約三分鐘，全館20間客房的私人露天風呂均朝向山谷，晴天早晨更可遠眺富士山。它之所以特別適合新年，在於地理優勢：箱根神社的午夜煙火——午夜時分在蘆之湖上方發射約1,000發煙火，映照在湖面上——從箱根湯本車站搭乘接駁巴士即可抵達，不需自駕。接著在1月2日和3日，箱根驛傳接力賽途經此地，是日本收視率最高的新年體育賽事之一，您可以在路邊觀賽後回旅館繼續泡湯。 這裡的附加費——也是本指南中唯一有核實金額的旅館——是在底價之上每人加收¥14,300。這筆費用涵蓋新年餐食方案與文化活動。作為對照：附近同為箱根旅館的金乃竹（Kinnotake Resort）有書面記錄的新年方案，書法體驗與羽根突き各收¥2,000，和服拍照（裃）收¥7,000，而麻糬搗打與驛傳電視觀賞則免費提供〔金乃竹官方新年頁面〕。這些數字讓您對「新年方案」的實際製作成本有了具體參考。 坦白說，缺點在於：全館僅20間房，在回頭客中口碑極佳，訂房很快就會售罄。如果您正在11月閱讀這篇文章，請立即查詢空房。

評分卡 - 所在區域： 兵庫縣城崎溫泉——探索城崎旅館 - 平時費率： 每人每晚400至900美元（USD）（含兩餐） - 新年方案： 含季節性附加費；請至訂房頁面確認最新方案及費用 - 新年內容： 以松葉蟹（雪蟹）與但馬牛為主軸的冬季懷石料理；可使用全部七間公共外湯；1月1日早餐供應日式新年料理 - 英語友善： 是 - 刺青政策： 本陣之間套房設有私人露天風呂；訂房前請確認公共浴池政策 - 溫泉類型： 食鹽泉；附全部7間城崎外湯的通行券 - 最近初詣： 溫泉寺——從大師山搭纜車，從市中心步行15分鐘再搭纜車可達 - 評分： 9.2/10（198則評價） 西村屋本館創立於1860年，是關西地區歷史最悠久的旅館之一，同時也是Relais & Châteaux成員與米其林推薦旅館——兩個頭銜都是實至名歸，而且旅館本身並不需要反覆強調。選它作為新年推薦的原因，在於時機的完美契合：松葉蟹，城崎當地的雪蟹品種，捕撈自日本海，恰好在冬季達到巔峰。一月在城崎以松葉蟹為主軸的懷石料理，是日式溫泉餐飲體驗的頂峰之一。 城崎的基礎設施更強化了這個選擇。七間外湯（soto-yu）全年開放，西村屋本館住客可免費取得外湯巡り通行券前往全部七間。穿著旅館浴衣與半纏棉夾褂，踩著木屐走在大谷川石板路上，在飄雪中穿梭各間外湯——這是一個確實值得其美名的體驗。城崎1月平均降雪量為126公分，景緻雖無法保證，但機率很高〔Visit Kinosaki 官方網站〕。 1月初，出初式消防隊游行穿越市區，消防隊員身著傳統裝束，在河川上方進行水柱表演，是一個上鏡的在地儀式，而非觀光活動。從大阪或京都出發有直通特急，搭乘こうのとり特急（Konotori）約需2.5至3小時。

評分卡 - 所在區域： 群馬縣草津溫泉——探索草津旅館 - 平時費率： 每人每晚350至700美元（USD）（含兩餐） - 新年方案： 含季節性附加費；請至訂房頁面確認——截至撰文時，尚未確認有英語版新年方案說明 - 新年內容： 大多數草津旅館標準提供跨年蕎麥麵與日式新年料理；熱之湯（Netsunoyu）湯揉表演全年每日6場（¥700）〔Deep Japan——已核實〕 - 英語友善： 是 - 刺青政策： 泉游亭（Sen'yutei）別館設有半露天私人浴池 - 溫泉類型： 強酸性硫磺泉，pH值2.0——為日本天然溫泉中濃度最高之列 - 最近初詣： 光泉寺，緊鄰湯畑熱泉田；草津神社步行約5至10分鐘 - 評分： 9.0/10（310則評價） 奈良屋自1877年起引用白旗之湯水源——草津歷史最悠久的泉源。泉游亭別館的躍層客房俯瞰著湯畑（Yubatake）——市中心那片廣大的露天熱泉田，冒著陣陣白煙——使奈良屋成為草津唯一擁有這個特殊視野的住宿。專職的湯守每日守護這口泉源，而這個職稱存在的旅館數量，正如您所預料的：寥寥無幾。 草津的泉質才是真正的主角。pH值2.0的硫磺泉是日本pH值最低的天然溫泉之一，泡起來感受明顯不同，有一種沁涼清透的刺激感，常泡溫泉的旅客形容這是一種特別清潔的感覺。在湯畑旁的熱之湯（Netsunoyu）表演場，湯揉（Yumomi）儀式全年每日表演六場，新年期間同樣持續：身著傳統服飾的女性用長木板撥動泉水，以降低溫度供沐浴使用，同時演唱民謠。入場費¥700，節假日期間照常開放。 一個實際提醒：草津沒有直達新幹線。從東京出發需搭JR轉乘巴士，大約三個小時。在新年交通高峰期（12月29日至1月4日，新幹線與長途巴士均嚴重壅塞）須仔細規劃這段路程，並在確定旅館後同步預訂火車票。

評分卡 - 所在區域： 兵庫縣有馬溫泉——探索有馬旅館 - 平時費率： 每人每晚235至600美元（USD）（含兩餐） - 新年方案： 含季節性附加費；請至訂房頁面確認 - 新年內容： 日式新年料理、12月31日跨年蕎麥麵、神戶牛懷石晚餐；附近太閣之湯（Taiko no Yu）1月1日至3日每人加收¥500〔阪急電鐵——已核實〕 - 英語友善： 是 - 刺青政策： 提供私人浴池選項；請直接確認公共浴池政策 - 溫泉類型： 兩種泉質——金湯（富含鐵質的金色泉水）與銀湯（含氡碳酸銀色泉水） - 最近初詣： 有馬老街巷弄內的湯泉神社與溫泉寺（步行5分鐘）；搭火車至住吉大社（大阪）約30分鐘 - 評分： 資料庫中尚無評分 陶泉御所坊是日本最古老的旅館之一，在瀧川旁已有逾800年的歷史——歷史文獻所記載的有馬溫泉，更可追溯至西元720年的《日本書紀》。旅館共20間客房，傳遞著一種大多數旅館宣傳品難以言說的感受：那種比例，恰好契合有馬老街的石板窄巷。從大門走到玄關只需約三十秒，瀧川的流水聲從腳下傳來。這棟建築悄然融入周遭，而非張揚地宣告自身存在。 正是這兩種溫泉水，讓有馬在關西地區顯得獨一無二。金湯（kinsen）的琥珀色來自溶解的鐵質與鹽分——這些礦物質也是浴池石材隨時間染上深赭色的原因。您在感受水溫之前，顏色已先映入眼簾。銀湯（ginsen）無色透明，富含氡與碳酸，帶來一種輕盈、微微起泡的感受，與金湯的厚重熱度形成鮮明對比。能在同一間旅館同時體驗兩種泉質相當罕見；大多數溫泉地只主打一種泉質並以此為核心發展。 關於陶泉御所坊需要誠實說明的一點：建築老棟部分的客房，以每晚費率來看，歲月痕跡確實明顯。文化底蘊與泉質品質是真實的，但期待全面翻新奢華內裝的旅客——如同在FUFU日光或箱根吟遊所見到的——可能需要調整預期。對以關西為據點的旅客而言，位置是一大優勢。距神戶30分鐘，從大阪和京都也容易抵達，而住吉大社——日本最重要的初詣地點之一——搭火車30分鐘即可到達。當您想要安靜一點時，在地的湯泉神社步行五分鐘便可造訪。 ---

評分卡 - 所在區域： 北海道登別溫泉——探索登別旅館 - 平時費率： 每人每晚120至350美元（USD）（含兩餐）——本指南最低價位 - 新年方案： 含季節性附加費；請至訂房頁面確認 - 新年內容： 標準提供日式新年料理與跨年蕎麥麵；附近登別伊達時代村江戶新年慶典1月1日至3日——免費清酒、甘酒、舞獅、投扇興〔LIVE JAPAN——已核實〕 - 英語友善： 是（於國際訂房平台上架） - 刺青政策： 大型公共浴池——訂房前請直接向旅館確認刺青政策 - 溫泉類型： 1,500平方公尺的溫泉設施，設有35個浴池，引自多種天然泉質（含硫磺、鐵、食鹽、明礬等） - 最近初詣： 溫泉小鎮內的湯掛地藏（步行5分鐘）；札幌北海道神宮（JR約1小時） - 評分： 資料庫中尚無評分 一月的北海道，積雪覆蓋山谷，地獄谷（Jigokudani）飄散的灰硫磺蒸氣與腳下白色雪地之間的對比極為震撼——從旅館庭院就能看到這幅景致。第一瀧本館自1858年開業，已發展為更接近溫泉度假村型態的住宿：393間客房、1,500平方公尺的沐浴設施、35個浴池引自多種不同泉質。旅館緊鄰地獄谷，這座地熱火山口全年噴氣不息。 如果您的選擇標準是以合理價格體驗北海道冬日，第一瀧本館就是答案。平時費率每人每晚含餐起價約120美元，明顯低於箱根和城崎的頂級旅館。新年方案在底價之上另有附加費，但起點使其對不想支付箱根價位的旅客來說相當親民。取捨在於規模：393間客房，體驗更偏向度假村而非親密旅館。公共浴池才是預算的最大去處。 登別伊達時代村（Jidaimura）從大多數旅館步行約五分鐘，1月1日至3日舉辦江戶時代新年慶典，提供免費清酒、甘酒、舞獅與投扇興（tosenkyo，傳統投扇遊戲）。這是一個低調而精心策劃的文化活動，大多數外國旅客完全不知道它的存在。 ---

評分卡 - 所在區域： 栃木縣日光——探索日光旅館 - 平時費率： 每人每晚400至900美元（USD）（含兩餐） - 新年方案： 含季節性附加費；請至訂房頁面確認 - 新年內容： 12月31日跨年蕎麥麵；1月1日早餐日式新年料理；屠蘇酒；鄰近東照宮1月1日清晨6時祈禱儀式，以及12月31日三座寺院除夕鐘聲 - 英語友善： 是 - 刺青政策： 全部24間套房均設私人室內溫泉浴池——公共浴池刺青問題不存在 - 溫泉類型： 全部24間套房均設私人室內溫泉浴池；鹼性單純泉（附近湯元型泉水） - 最近初詣： 日光東照宮——UNESCO世界遺產，1月1日清晨6時新年祈禱儀式〔日光官方導覽——已核實〕 - 評分： 9.1/10（310則評價） FUFU日光是一間全套房奢華旅館（24間套房），毗鄰田母沢御用邸，步行可達使日光成為日本建築密度最高景點之一的UNESCO世界遺產神社群。每間套房均設私人溫泉浴池——在除夕夜想要午夜11點30分在靜謐中泡湯等待鐘聲響起，這一點至關重要。 讓日光有別於本指南其他地區的，在於新年儀式的密集程度。三座寺院在除夕夜11點同時展開除夕鐘聲儀式：日光山輪王寺、日光山中禪寺與日光山溫泉寺〔日光官方導覽〕。您可以參加其中一間，步行前往另一間，或在旅館聆聽鐘聲在山谷間交疊迴響。在日光二荒山神社，新年參拜期間提供免費在地清酒。1月1日清晨6時，東照宮神社開始新年祈禱儀式——在關東地區，這大概是明治神宮之外最具歷史意義的初詣，而且人潮只有明治神宮的一個零頭。 實際提醒：日光從東京搭東武特急約兩小時。此地小型旅館的英語服務有限；FUFU日光在國際訂房平台上的上架，確保了高價位預訂所需的服務保障。關於關東地區選擇的更廣泛背景，請參閱我們的冬季溫泉住宿指南。 ---

評分卡 - 所在區域： 山形縣銀山溫泉——探索銀山旅館 - 平時費率： 每人每晚250至500美元（USD）（含兩餐） - 新年方案： 含季節性附加費；請至訂房頁面確認 - 新年內容： 標準提供日式新年料理與跨年蕎麥麵；煤氣燈照耀的雪中河畔景致才是真正的主角 - 英語友善： 否——請透過英語訂房平台預訂（Trip.com、Booking.com）；現場英語服務有限 - 刺青政策： 可預約私人家庭浴池；訂房時請詢問公共浴池政策 - 溫泉類型： 食鹽硫酸鹽泉；三個室內外浴池加一個可預約家庭浴池 - 最近初詣： 尾花澤附近的小型在地神社（搭巴士約40分鐘）；附近無主要神社 - 評分： 資料庫中尚無評分 能登屋旅館是銀山溫泉最多人拍照的建築——大正時代精緻的六層木造建築立面俯瞰著煤氣燈照耀的河畔，是大多數人腦海中「冬日日本溫泉小鎮」的代表畫面。這份認可實至名歸。這棟建築是登錄有形文化財，外觀正如它的本質：超過一個世紀的旅館歷史，以1920年代達到頂峰的建築風格建成，且此後再未以這樣的規模重現。 一月是銀山降雪最豐沛的月份，可靠的深雪覆蓋整個狹窄山谷。鎮上沒有連鎖飯店、沒有賣鑰匙圈的紀念品店，幾乎沒有旅館和幾家餐廳以外的觀光設施。新年期間，當日本其他地方都在應付正月人潮時，銀山有一種特屬於此地的靜謐。煤氣燈映照在結冰的河面上。您聽到的鐘聲來自當地村莊的神社，而非大型寺院的擴音儀式。 取捨是很實際的：現場英語服務有限。抵達需要從大石田車站搭乘40分鐘巴士，而大石田車站本身也需要從主要東北城市搭乘JR前往。附近沒有主要初詣神社。這是為那些把雪鄉氛圍置於文化儀式密度之上、並且能夠在全日語環境中自在生活的旅客而設計的選擇。 ---

殘酷的真相：除夕夜（12月31日）入住的優質旅館，實際上提前2至4個月便已售罄。 2027年新年期間，預訂窗口大約在2026年6月至9月開放。Jalan.net與樂天旅遊的新年方案大多在9月至10月上架，評價最多的旅館在那些平台上往往數天內便售罄〔Japan Travel Pros；Tripadvisor日本旅遊論壇社群共識〕。 對於使用Trip.com、Booking.com或Expedia的非日語旅客，房源通常在三至六個月前開始顯示。請設定搜尋提醒，並在9月時定期查詢——不要等到10月。 新年的價格溢價是真實存在的，值得清楚了解。唯一來自旅館官方訂房頁面的核實附加費數字是箱根吟遊：12月31日至1月3日，在標準每晚費率基礎上每人 +¥14,300〔箱根吟遊官方訂房頁面〕。這筆費用涵蓋新年餐食方案與文化活動。所有旅館類別的週六和國定假日費率，已在平日底價之上加收20至40%〔Ryokan Finder 2026費用指南〕；新年在此之上再追加一層溢價。這筆額外費用具體購買的是：跨年蕎麥麵、日式新年料理早餐、屠蘇酒、文化活動（書法、搗麻糬），以及升級懷石套餐。避免參考任何在未引用特定旅館的情況下聲稱費率翻2至3倍的資訊——該數字未經旅館核實。

與旅館同步預訂交通。新幹線與特急列車在12月29日至1月4日期間嚴重壅塞。草津尤其要注意（無直達新幹線），一旦確定旅館訂房，請立即同步搭配JR加巴士的行程。 關於旅館預訂時機的更多建議，請參閱旅館預訂技巧。

如果您在11月或12月閱讀這篇文章，而目標旅館的12月31日空房已告罄，您擁有的選擇比售罄畫面所呈現的更多。 調整日期。 12月30日入住是行家的選擇。您在人潮湧現前抵達，30日的溫泉明顯更清靜，而且您已準備就緒迎接12月31日的鐘聲與1月1日的完整新年方案。12月30日的空房往往在12月31日售罄後仍有剩餘，費率也更低。您依然能享有一切：當晚的跨年蕎麥麵、除夕鐘聲、新年早晨的日式新年料理、1月1日的初詣。

嘗試競爭較不激烈的溫泉區。 日光的國際需求就比箱根或城崎少，但仍能提供本指南中儀式層次最豐富的除夕鐘聲體驗。山形的銀山溫泉特別被國際旅客所忽略——雪鄉氛圍才是主角，而非神社距離。這些不是備胎選項；它們是截然不同的體驗，各自有真實的新年個性。 留意取消空房。 頂級旅館確實會出現取消空房，有時是在出發前兩至四週，因住客調整計畫而釋出。請查看Trip.com的「最後空房」篩選功能。若您讀得懂日文，可在Jalan.net設定提醒。窗口短暫但確實存在。 改訂1月2日至3日入住。 過了午夜高峰，1月2日的空房供應會大幅增加。您仍可享有日式新年料理、初詣，以及更寧靜的溫泉環境。1月2日至3日的費率通常比12月31日高峰夜低20至30%——仍然值得，特別是為了觀看箱根驛傳與悠閒享用新年早餐。 城市旅館作為混合方案。 當溫泉地全部客滿時，東京或京都的町家旅館毗鄰主要神社，讓您步行完成初詣，同時享有旅館體驗，免去交通奔波。京都八坂神社在除夕夜舉辦「をけら詣」（Okera Mairi）儀式——參拜者在神聖火種點燃麻繩，帶回家點燃新年的雜煮。這是城市住宿中獨具氛圍的特別體驗。 關於更廣泛的季節性預訂建議，請參閱最佳旅館入住季節與預訂日本旅行的最佳時機。 ---

旅館會提供浴衣（yukata，輕薄棉質和服）與半纏（hanten，棉夾褂），供您在館內走動及外出至小鎮時穿著。穿著時左片壓右片——右片壓左片是喪葬禮俗，工作人員會婉轉提醒您，但最好在走進大廳前就先記好這一點。 - 易穿脫的拖鞋或涼鞋 — 旅館提供木屐（geta）或草鞋（zori），但自備輕便拖鞋在雪地和結冰路面上深夜前往露天風呂時更方便 - 保暖底層衣物 — 1月份箱根、城崎或銀山的氣溫可能遠低於零度；在戶外溫泉泡湯時，水溫可能是40°C而氣溫是零下3°C，需要保暖內衣褲 - 現金備用於初詣 — 御神籤（omikuji，¥100至200）、御守（omamori，¥500至1,000）與繪馬（ema，¥500至1,000）在神社攤位出售，均需現金；便利商店ATM是最方便的提款地點 - 小型背包 — 初詣時用來放御守、保溫瓶和相機 - 充飽電的手機 — 用於午夜倒數；翻譯軟體在英語標示有限的神社也很實用 關於溫泉禮儀：進入任何共用浴池前請先在淋浴區徹底沖洗，長髮需夾高避免入水，手機和相機留在浴池邊。如果您的旅館設有共用浴池且您有刺青，請在抵達前確認政策——每份評分卡均有說明，刺青友善旅館指南有更深入的說明。
