Hakone is a famous Japanese hot spring hamlet located in Kanagawa Prefecture. Due to its excellent geographical accessibility, the area attracts a large number of tourists throughout the year. There is an abundance of natural beauty, hot springs, and restaurants, which makes it the ideal travel destination. It is furnished with historical shrines, art galleries, and museums, making it a haven for art lovers. KAI Hakone is located right in the middle of this Hakone Yumoto Onsen boasting a 1200-year-old history. You can completely forget about your hectic daily life by immersing yourself in a cypress tree bath surrounded by nature and gazing at the clear panorama in front of you. You may enjoy a variety of services with a Japanese flair and have a memorable healing experience.

The dining area in Hakone's room features a huge open window that beautifully frames the natural environment. Due to the fact that all rooms face the river, you may experience a peaceful yet extraordinary auditory stimulation of the sounds of water and birds in harmony with the environment. The guest rooms are decorated with parquet, a traditional craft of Hakone, which is a characteristic of Hoshino Resorts, which introduces the traditions that can only be experienced specifically in that region. There are several types of rooms, including Japanese-style tatami mats, rooms with terraces, and open-air bathtubs.

Kai Hakone's meals consist of special Kaiseki dishes made with local ingredients. Hakone's unique fusion beef cuisine, which harmonizes Western and Japanese food cultures is especially popular. Meals are plated with crockery using gimokgong (a woodcraft technique in which small pieces of wood are put together collectively), stimulating your visual senses. After bathing in the hot springs, it is recommended to enjoy a local beer that can only be tasted in Hakone within the comfort of your room, or that you receive a message to unwind your body and mind. Let's make unforgettable memories in Hakone's space, fully equipped with everything you need for pure healing, away from everyday life.
