Hakone’s outer rim mountains and caldera lake were formed by a hydrovolcanic explosion approximately 3,100 years ago. Now a popular sightseeing spot, Hakone attracts a large number of visitors from all over the world for its internationally renowned hot springs and exceptional views of Mt. Fuji.
Hotel Shiki no Yakata Hakone Ashinoko is located on the mountainside of Mt. Futago, one of Hakone’s outer rim mountains, and offers guests stunning views of Lake Ashinoko. The hotel was conceptualized to function like an overnight art museum, and over 120 paintings and works of calligraphy from Japanese painter Shokan Goma are on display inside. Relaxing in this space, which features prized, aromatic Japanese cypress wood, while leisurely admiring these artworks is an experience not to be missed.
Each of the hotel’s 30 guest rooms are fixed with a private open-air bath with water drawn from Hakone’s hot springs. Known since ancient times for its therapeutic properties, Hakone’s hot spring water is marked by the subtle colors and scents of natural hot springs and feels pleasant and silky-smooth against the skin. The open-air bath is crafted from Japanese cypress wood. Guests can take in the majestic scenery and freely enjoy the waters of Hakone’s hot springs in complete privacy. The hotel suites, which can accommodate up to four guests, have both a ceramic indoor bath and an open-air bath to ensure that even families or groups can relax and bathe leisurely.
For dinner, guests can enjoy creative French cuisine using seasonal ingredients such as seafood from Sagami Bay and Suruga Bay along with Mishima vegetables. Wine selected by a sommelier to suit each dish and guests’ preferences makes the meals even more special. In particular, guests should consider trying the highly praised wine made locally in Kanagawa Prefecture. Please note that wine and other alcoholic beverages are not included in the hotel accommodation fees.
Occasionally, thick fog settles on the surface of Lake Ashinoko, resembling a sea of clouds. Guests can observe this otherworldly phenomenon from their guest room windows. Hakone offers truly unique views of Mt. Fuji, including from atop Lake Ashinoko on a sightseeing boat and from the summit of Mt. Komagatake.
Hotel Shiki no Yakata Hakone Ashinoko is a quality hotel where guests can enjoy the natural wonders of Hakone.
