We stayed one night while visiting Hakone and wish we had extended our stay. This is an amazing property with an amazing staff. It was a peaceful and relaxing break after enjoying Tokyo. I would definitely come back for a couple more days.
An amazing experience!10/10 we would recommend to anyone traveling to Japan. Nuru-san was wonderful, very attentive, kind, helpful, and taught us so much about Japanese cuture and the food during the exquisite dining experience. Chef Akitoshi Hamanaka-sama is a talented artist and very detailed and passionate about his work. He was also considerate to accommodate a vegetarian diet with a variety of food showcasing Japan’s varied cuisine, and prepared the most memorable wagyu. Thank you to the staff for their hospitality!
This is a special place with excellent service. The private onsen was wonderful! The room/cabin was so comfortable, clean, spacious, well stocked, excellent products, safe, and private. The first dinner menu was one of the best Kaiseki experiences. The chef is talented! The second menu was good- but a step away from the first. My only recommendation would be to include non-alcoholic beverages with the included meals. These were available at an additional cost which is not consistent with the luxury and exclusivity of this property. Would highly recommend this property for anyone wanting a few days of quiet luxury, an onsen experience and peaceful beautiful outdoor surroundings.
