Fukushimakan
8,7/10 Excellent - Based on 35 reviews
Located in the heart of the peaceful Sengokuhara Onsen district, Fukushimakan welcomes you in a serene and authentically Japanese atmosphere. Surrounded by lush nature and bathed by the soothing mountain breezes, this ryokan in Hakone offers a true haven of peace. Among its treasures, the onsen hot spring bath is an ideal refuge to release your tensions, while the public baths invite intense relaxation. Explore the surrounding trails for a dose of rejuvenation in harmony with the environment.
Neutrality and elegance dominate in the rooms of Fukushimakan, all air-conditioned, and purely Japanese in style with their traditional tatami. Whether choosing a standard or superior room, Japanese hospitality is expressed in every detail: comfortable futons, delicately arranged kettle, refrigerator, and a particular respect for privacy thanks to the immaculate shared bathrooms. The ambiance invites relaxation in a simple and warm setting, perfect for a break away from daily hustle and bustle.
Although it has an on-site restaurant ideal for savoring local specialties, the surroundings also offer a range of tasty choices. Between the Venetian Glass Museum and the Wetlands Botanical Garden, you’ll discover varied culinary escapes where charming cafes and typical bistros await you. Far from being just a place to stay, Fukushimakan offers you a complete immersion in the spirit of Hakone and its art of living.
Evaluation of Japanese Authenticity
5/10 Located in a charming setting, this ryokan mixes a contemporary style with some Japanese touches. The cuisine highlights local specialties but lacks kaiseki refinement. The baths are accessible but modest in appearance. The well-maintained rooms offer a decent atmosphere without total traditional immersion.
