- While we won't be able to meet you during your stay, we will respond promptly to messages. Please feel free to contact us for information on sightseeing or restaurants. - Phone support is available 24 hours a day in Japanese, English, Chinese and Korean. When calling, please say, "I am (your name), checking into LINKAGE STAY HAKONE SENGOKUHARA on (date)." - In case of an emergency, staff from nearby areas will come to assist. Additionally, the property owner lives nearby and may visit the lodging if necessary. **Hot Spring Usage Precautions** - It takes several hours for the hot spring water to accumulate sufficiently. As we drain and clean the bath after each guest's use, depending on the check-in and check-out schedule, the hot spring may not be sufficiently filled or warmed up, and we may need to limit the available baths. - If the bath is not sufficiently filled or warm, please use hot water. - The whitish solid substances adhering to the bath are known as "Yunohana" (hot spring flowers), which are minerals crystallized from the hot spring components. They are not dirt, so please rest assured. - Fallen leaves and insects may end up in the open-air bath, so please use the blower or insect net as needed. - Due to the strong components of the hot spring, soaking for extended periods can cause overheating. Please be cautious. If you have sensitive skin or have experienced skin irritation from hot springs before, please check the quality of the "Owakudani hot spring" in advance (a chart of the hot spring components is available in the photo section, in Japanese only). - When using the shower or taps, set the temperature around 40 degrees Celsius. The water can heat up to 60 degrees, so turning it to the highest temperature (toward red) could result in burns.
