A hot spring ryokan with views of Mt. Yusaka and echoes of the babbling nearby Sukumo River
KAI Hakone is a hot spring ryokan with rooms offering river views. There is much here that reflects the culture and nature of Hakone, from parquet furnishings to hot spring baths that open out onto vibrant natural scenery, as well as exclusive activities that give a taste of this traditional hot spring town’s history.
Hakone is home to twenty hot springs that are known for their therapeutic effects. Yumoto, which supplies our semi-open baths, is particularly famous. Each bath hall offers a view of Mt. Yusaka and echoes with the babbling of the nearby Sukumo River. Bath halls are semi-open to provide guests with a more naturalistic bathing experience.
At KAI Hakone, activities revolve around a style of parquetry that has traditionally been practiced in Hakone. The craft is known for its colorful patterns that make use of the area’s diverse tree population. Activities include tea sessions, storytelling, and even crafting workshops.
Travelers in the past would stop at teahouses known as chaya to rest and exchange information. Parquetry chaya activity recreates that scene with refreshments served on or in Hakone parquetry. Secrets of parquetry is a pictorial storytelling session is held everyday to offer guests an enjoyable introduction to Hakone parquetry.
