How to ask for it in a taxi
- Show the driver: 箱根湯本温泉
- Then point and say: ここまでお願いします (koko made onegai shimasu) — "please take me here".
- If asked which area: 箱根町, 神奈川県.
- On arrival: 領収書をください (ryōshūsho o kudasai) — "please give me a receipt".
An onsen name usually refers to a whole hot-spring town rather than one building, so drivers will ask which inn. Put the ryokan name in the note field on the card — that is the part they need.
