The hotel’s official access page puts it about two minutes on foot from Hakone-Yumoto Station. This can be a useful choice if you want to avoid a hotel-bound bus transfer with luggage. Choose an open-air-bath room if you want a private onsen.
Ten-yu lists a free shuttle from Gora Station. Check its current boarding point, timetable and final departure before choosing a train. The hotel also describes public-bus alternatives; the operator matters because it states that the Hakone Freepass is not valid on Izu-Hakone Bus.
The official route is a Hakone Tozan bus from Hakone-Yumoto toward Togendai, getting off at Daigatake (台ヶ岳). The hotel estimates about 30 minutes on the bus and about one minute on foot. Road traffic can change the journey. Its access notes also explain where to cross the road when arriving from the Lake Ashi direction.
