9,4/10 Exceptional - Based on 59 reviews
Diving into the universe of Hiramatsu Hotels & Resorts Sengokuhara Hakone is entering a sanctuary where nature and luxury harmonize. The minimalist elegance of this establishment subtly combines modernity and Japanese tradition. The hot springs, surrounded by the serenity of the garden, offer a soothing sensory journey, while the spa and its refined treatments awaken a deep sense of inner connection. This ryokan in Hakone reflects an art of living where every detail, from natural textures to noble materials, invites contemplation.
Revealing rare comfort, the ryokan rooms transcend the simple notion of accommodation. The private terraces and sublime views of the mountains or gardens provide a feeling of intimacy with the surrounding nature. The soothing atmosphere of the interiors, combining soft tones and elegant furniture, creates spaces conducive to rest and meditation. Here, attention to detail – from silky sheets to modern amenities – reveals hospitality thought with care.
Arousing the senses, the Hiramatsu restaurant celebrates Italian flavors with a subtle fusion of local ingredients. These gastronomic creations are served in a soft and bright ambiance, magnifying each dish.

Each meal thus becomes a celebration of life and the present moment.
Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
5/10 Modern and neat place, marrying Japanese influences and contemporary elements. However, traditional immersion remains limited. The meals are refined but deviate from pure Kaiseki and the offered baths lack onsen authenticity. The natural setting inspires serenity, but the architecture is mostly international with few Japanese details.
