Sorry for not clarifying.

I've done some more readings. It seems most of the guides are either day-trip or 2d1n kinda thing. Am I missing anything by doing a day-trip only?

I guess my question is... is it feasible to be based out of Shinjuku (hotel/AirBnB) and plan a Hakone trip in the plan? Or am I better off staying a day or 2 in Hakone before coming back to Tokyo proper?

What's a good ryokan in the area? The big problem is from what I heard is that any good ryokan aren't very kid-friendly (some of them outright ban them) and I'm going with kids.
I've done Hakone on day trip, go morning come back evening kind of thing. Hectic, but it certainly can be done. Depends on what works for your budget and also how much moving around do you want to do.

Ryokans can be hit and miss with kids, I recommend reaching out to them directly to confirm if it will be a problem. Most of the ones that cater or accept foreign tourists will have staff on hand that speak English. Keep in mind, Ryokans are no theme park and more about the ambiance etc, kids could have some problem being occupied depending on what they're into.
