About Hakone

A dream destination for a Japanese spa break or hiking holiday, Hakone has long been a favourite amongst couples or friends looking to escape Tokyo for the weekend. The area is famous for its hot springs — ‘onsen’ in Japanese — as well as its mountains and forests. This is a place to unwind, whether in small, traditional ryokan guesthouses, luxurious contemporary five star spa resorts, or something in between: the best places to stay in Hakone are varied and hugely inviting.

Studded with picturesque villages and rushing waterfalls hidden in dense forests — beautiful regardless of the season — Hakone is a wonderful destination for nature enthusiasts. Spend your days hiking, mountain biking or bird watching with an expert guide, before trying your hand at fishing or kayaking in crystal-clear rivers, or in the tranquil waters of Lake Ashi. Mount Hakone, an active volcano, is fascinating, as is the dramatic Owakudani Geothermal Valley, where sulphurous fumes suffuse the air. The Tozan Cable Car promises epic views of it all.

Culture buffs should admire the Torii Gate, the Hakoen Jinja and the Open-Air Museum, which features sculptures by a whole host of international artists. Retreat to one of the best places to stay in Hakone for rejuvenating massages and long soaks in private hot springs baths. This really is a tremendously revitalising holiday choice.

The Best Places to Stay in Hakone

For Traditional Charm

  • Fukuzumiro is a traditional, 17-room guesthouse in the forest, with relaxing spa baths and lovely views. Rooms feature tatami mats, roll-down futon beds and paper lanterns. Pick this place for its affordable rates and classic ryokan feel.

  • Yushintei is a relaxing base for those eager to unwind in Hakone's hot springs. Sink into big baths, emerging only to cosy up in rooms with futon beds and tatami matting after enjoying authentic regional cuisine.
  • Yama No Chaya is extremely unusual in that it's perched on a suspension bridge across a mountain stream in Hakone. Listen to the murmuring of the water below as you enjoy a soothing massage or onsen soak, before kicking back with drinks on your terrace. A tranquil choice with classic interiors and just 15 rooms.
  • Ginyu Ryokan offers 20 restful rooms with nods to the authentic Japanese mountain guesthouse experience. First and foremost a hot spring spa hotel, this is one for quiet couples or individuals, with beautiful views and a timeless sense of style.
  • Gora Hanaougi is another 20-room ryokan in the hot springs spa town of Gōra. Pick this place for an old-school hot springs experience, complete with mutiple baths for men and women, simple suites with seating and dining areas, and futon bedding. For a slice of Japanese culture.

For Foodies

  • KAI Hakone is a luxurious little hotel with 32 rooms, many of which have a traditional Japanese feel. The big draw is the gourmet restaurant, which serves impressive multi-course tasting menus. Sip speciality sake, sample local delicacies — including fermented squid intestines — and unwind in hot spring baths. For adventurous foodies.
  • Gōra Kadan sits in the grounds of the former summer villa of a member of the Japanese Imperial Family. As such, it's a favourite amongst history buffs. It's also a famous foodie destination, with a restaurant known for its kaiseki cuisine, showcasing the freshest seasonal ingredients, cooked to celebrate their true flavours as well as to surprise and delight guests. Try the nine-course 'Kiku' menu.

For Families or Groups

  • Fujiya Hotel claims to be one of Japan's oldest hotels. Its 146 rooms and suites have an elegant, old-school European feel, whilst the traditional gardens and hot springs feel more Japanese. Families and couples will appreicate the multiple swimming pools, events spaces and restaurants, as well as the flexible room arrangements.
  • Hotel Okada is another large and lively hotel. Families or groups can book big suites with epic views, before enjoying live music, karaoke nights, a games area or rejuvenating hot spring baths and spa. Great fun.
  • Laforest Club Hakone Gora Yunosumika has 44 rooms and suites in a forest setting. It's an excellent choice for keen adventurers of all ages, who can enjoy guided treks, mountain bike rides, golf, fishing and kayaking. The gourmet restaurant is a highlight, and interiors are smart and contemporary.
  • Hakone Retreat Fore is a fantastic family and group choice. Large suites have private terraces, seating areas with wood-burning stoves and space for multiple guests. The feel is hip and contemporary, with clean lines, pale wood panelling and delicious cuisine. A chic choice.
  • Hakone Kowakien Ten Yu offers slick, modern design in a nine-storey building on a hillside overlooking Mount Fuji. The hotel's size — it has 150 rooms — means that there are flexible options for families, groups and business visitors. You'll also find an atmospheric restaurant, a swimming pool and a spa. A sleek choice.

For Boutique Luxury

  • Kinnotake Tonosawa boasts 23 minimalist rooms and suites in a secluded woodland location. Design lovers will appreciate the unique architecture, with its clean lines and natural materials. Enjoy 'Kyo Kaiseki' dining in the restaurant and soak up the forest views from your private onsen.
  • Yoshimatsu is a classic ryokan, with futon beds and tatami matting in its 19 stylish rooms. Steps from Lake Ashi, this is an indulgent, intimate choice for those eager to explore the lake or kick back in serene Japanese gardens. More traditional.
  • KAI Sengokuhara has 16 elegant guestrooms, clad in soothing creams, greys and natural wood tones. Private balconies yield expansive views, there's superb seafood cuisine to be savoured, hot spring baths and art workshops. A luxurious, eco-minded base for couples or families.
