There are many high-quality ryokan (Japanese inns) in Daihaitai Onsenkyo, with many classic hot spring hotels boasting views of Mount Fuji. There’s also a train station actually named "Daihaitai Station." Located along the Hakone Tozan Railway, this station offers scenic views that change with the seasons — cherry blossoms in spring, hydrangeas in summer, autumn foliage in fall, and snow in winter. In summer, the train is nicknamed the "hydrangea train," with the best viewing period around mid-June.

Daihaitai Station is open from 9:00 to 17:00. Visitors who especially want to come here should not arrive too late. Trains stopping at this station run in both directions — one heading to Hakone-Yumoto and the other to Gora, both of which are popular destinations for hot springs and nature parks.
