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.
