Hakone: Double the healing with a private onsen and Japanese garden!

If you're looking for a healing journey away from the hustle and bustle, back to nature, then you absolutely can't miss Kinnotake Sengokuen in Hakone! Located in the Sengokura area of Hakone, it's surrounded by natural beauty and offers convenient transportation.

Kinnotake Sengokuen's design perfectly blends traditional Japanese aesthetics with modern minimalist style. Far from the city's noise, the entire ryokan is enveloped by forest, with only the sound of wind rustling through the leaves. Step into a dreamlike Japanese garden, where every corner is breathtakingly beautiful.

Each room has its own private garden. Open the door to lush greenery, as if you've entered a personal Japanese garden. Large windows allow natural light to fill every corner, offering views of the garden by day and stargazing by night. Each room also features a private open-air onsen. Soak in the natural hot spring water, feeling your skin enveloped in warmth as you gaze upon the serene garden scenery.

Kinnotake Sengokuen's kaiseki cuisine is the ultimate indulgence for your taste buds. Using local, seasonal ingredients, each dish is as exquisite as a work of art. The restaurant's design blends seamlessly with the garden views, allowing you to enjoy a feast for both the eyes and the palate as you dine.

From the moment you step into the ryokan, the attentive staff will make you feel right at home. Whether strolling through the garden in a yukata or quietly sipping tea on a tatami mat, every moment is filled with the rituals of Japanese life.

Nearby attractions abound, including Owakudani, Lake Ashi, and the Hakone Venetian Glass Museum, perfect for daytime excursions before returning to the hotel for a peaceful evening in the onsen.
