Here, THE HIRAMATSU HOTELS & RESORTS Sengokuhara departs from local tradition and instead follows the model of a French auberge...
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Tucked into the upscale Sengokuhara highlands, the property sits minutes from rolling mountain trails and the expansive autumn pampas grass fields.
The rooms
Western-style rooms feature private balconies with spring-fed onsen tubs, separated by sliding glass walls that look onto the forested caldera.
The onsen
Soak slowly.
Two reservable open-air cedar baths sit in the forest, fed continuously by mineral-rich Shin-Ubako spring water.
Spa and gym
The Annex salon offers botanical oil bodywork by Yon-Ka, beside a training room equipped with stationary bikes and treadmills.
At the table
Multi-course Italian dinners draw on seasonal regional produce, served beneath abstract paintings and paired with local sake.
How it began
Chef Hiroyuki Hiramatsu envisioned the retreat as a European gastronomic auberge, blending classic French dining culture with Hakone hot spring tradition.
