Relish a memorably remarkable sabbatical sojourn in one of Nippon’s glamorous hot springs ensconced in the town of Hakone, Kanagawa Prefecture. Roosted about 90 km southwest of Tokyo, the Hoshino Resort Kai Hakone is a sanctum graciously muddling time-transcending designs, expressed in intricately fashioned, historical crafts, and the contemporary with satisfactory awe. The resort, enveloped by a superfluity of diverse plant species creating an exuberant forest, is balkanized into 32 guest rooms bestowed with the most recent of furnishings, with interior décors, albeit culturally featuring Hakone parquetry. All rooms provide mind-capturing river views and are equipped with therapeutic, body-rejuvenating, lined-with-ancient-hinoki-cypress, thermal baths sustained by a 1,200- year-old onsen. Dine intrepidly consuming body-nourishing kaiseki delicacies from breakfast to dinner. Revisit history at this sanctuary as you learn about the intriguing, cultural wonder of Hakone parquetry. Get pleasantly pampered with therapeutic massages by nationally certified staff at the spa. With the resort as a base, venture into the environs discovering new fascinations at local attractions such as the Hakone Shrine, Lake Ashi, the much-acclaimed, iconic Mount Fuji and so much more than your imagination beckoned.
