Gyokutei

Whether through the gentle murmur of koi carp in the pond or the explosion of colors from the cherry blossoms, the Gyokutei Ryokan in Hakone invites a complete immersion in harmony with nature. Nestled atop a hill, this haven of peace reveals an exquisite garden where every detail evokes serenity and elegance. Between the shaded paths and steam-wrapped onsen hot baths, well-being is truly a philosophy here. Massages are also offered to perfect this soothing getaway.

Faithful to Japanese tradition, the rooms open onto authentic tatami mats and soft futons, set in a minimalist yet warm atmosphere. Large bay windows offer a panoramic view of the garden, allowing the exterior beauty to enrich a soothingly simple decor. Modernity and tradition blend harmoniously with the presence of practical amenities such as a flat-screen TV, private bathroom, and quality toiletries.

Combining cuisine and hospitality is a signature of Gyokutei. The on-site restaurant delights its guests with sophisticated kaiseki meals, carefully prepared and served directly in the rooms for an intimate experience. Those wishing to explore the surroundings will be spoiled for choice among nearby cafes and establishments, each offering local gastronomy imbued with the unique flavors of Hakone.
