Embraced by the rich nature of Sengokuhara, it is a hideaway inn for adults where body and mind are deeply refreshed.

An open, airy main bathhouse drawing on Owakudani Onsen, nurtured by the Hakone volcano. Its crisp acidic water is the hallmark, easing a tired body to the core. With an indoor bath and an open-air bath, it lets you enjoy an unhurried soak while taking in the clear air of Sengokuhara in Hakone.

A semi-open-air bath of Shigaraki ware in every guest room. You have the natural onsen water of Owakudani to yourself in a completely private space. Without a care for anyone’s eyes, you can soak whenever and for as long as you like, spending a luxurious moment as you feel the breath of Sengokuhara’s nature.

An authentic sauna with a stove from Harvia, the long-established Finnish brand. The heat rising from the sauna stones fills the room and encourages a pleasant sweat. As time flows quietly, you sit with the heat at your own pace for a deeply refreshing experience.

A cold plunge right beside the sauna room, where the cold water pulls a flushed body crisply taut. After cooling down, sink deep into an ergonomically designed Adirondack chair and drift into a superb sense of totonou.
