Hi actually for 25 June I think it will be hard to fit in yuryo/not worth it as i feel yuryo you need time to enjoy the facilities to make it worth unless you really want to do a 20-30 mins dip and head out.
I am not too sure of yuryo’s closing time but things in hakone generally close pretty early (about 5:45 is the last call for rides visits etc) I would say if you really want to go yuryo you can maybe fit it before heading on the loop as there is a shuttle bus to yuryo from hakone Yumoto but personally I wouldn’t it as I feel you need time to fully enjoy all of yuryo’s facilities unless you are ok with fast gaming it
but even with that it would mean when you are at each stop of the loop you might need to leave after a few photos which I personally feel is a waste as there’s so much to do along the loop (gora park, gift shops, meteorological society)
But this is my personal thoughts having been to hakone last month and I tried fitting in yuryo too but thankfully stayed in hakone for 2 days so I didn’t need to rush but if I had only stayed 1 day I doubt I would have managed to finish the loop
