Kinnotake Sengokuhara

Perfection. This luxury ryokan in Hakone is a hidden sanctuary, nestled among lush trees and almost enchanted by the gentle sounds of nature. Every detail is highly curated —from the exceptional in-room kaiseki meals to the outstanding wine selection in the complimentary minibar. Our room was a large suite, with a California king size bed and an 400 sq ft bathroom featuring dual rainfall showers. The crown jewel is a fully private open-air tub fed by natural hot spring water. The venue is surrounded by mesmerizing forest views. Pure bliss. The staff is very kind, discreet, and genuinely attentive. An unforgettable experience of calm, comfort, and total privacy. We came out entirely regenerated.

Phenomenal stay! We spent 2 nights in the Hime room at the end of April 2025, and from the moment we arrived, we felt completely relaxed. The service was exceptional—someone greeted us at the gates to carry our bags, and we were escorted straight to our room where check-in was done. We were offered a welcome drink and dessert, which was a lovely touch. The mini fridge was stocked with a great selection of beverages, including wine, beer, sparkling wine, tea, juice, and sparkling water.||We had both dinner and breakfast in our room, and the meals were excellent. The dinner did take a bit longer than we expected, but that’s just because we typically prefer a quicker meal.||The staff went above and beyond to help us—arranging bus times, assisting with booking a taxi, and quickly fulfilling our requests for a humidifier, memory foam pillow, and supplies for a sprained ankle. The room was very clean, well maintained, spacious, and stunning. We spent a lot of time relaxing in the room and onsen and wished we could've spent longer there.

Absolutely amazing. From start to finish this ryokan and the staff were perfect. Yes it is expensive, but you have the most amazing service and attentive staff. The food is very good, and multiple courses - all served in your room. Just a warning to those who are not fans of fish/not too adventurous with Japanese cuisine - you may find it a bit much. I understand they do cater to your tastes however. The outdoor onsen is also incredible. Thank you for an amazing stay.

We stayed here for 2 nights for our honeymoon. It was such an incredible experience and the staff was so so nice. Loved having our own personal onsen and getting to have dinner and breakfast in our suite. We stayed in the Kirameki suite. The suite also came with our own garden and patio and having the patio to sit outside and enjoy was so special as well. And I was have an allergic reaction to seafood, so the staff switched my meals to this beautiful vegan / vegetarian option that was delicious. There were all these small touches that spoke of the luxury and elegance of this place. The fridge had all sorts of free yummy drinks (both alcoholic and non) and the check-in treat was delicious. Check-in was elegantly done in the room. The bed was a lovely king that was wonderfully comfortable and the bathroom was really cool overlooking the onsen. We also got some lovely parting honeymoon gifts that were so thoughtful and it was just truly a wonderful experience. Thank you Kinnotake for taking caring of us!!

Excellent experience all around, every minute of our time there was perfect. They will assist in setting up a car/taxi to and from your arrival and departure stations. The rooms are beautiful, the property is so serene and well kept, and the staff is phenomenal. Ito and Yusuki were standout staff members, so kind and a joy to be around. The food was delicious and so thoughtfully created, and the onsen was so relaxing. Highly recommend!

I wish I could give 6 stars. A truly perfect stay. This luxury ryokan in Hakone is a hidden sanctuary, nestled among beautiful trees and immersed in the gentle sounds of nature. Every detail is curated to perfection—from the wonderful in-room kaiseki meals to the outstanding wine selection in the complimentary minibar. The room itself was spacious, with a California king size bed and a large bathroom featuring dual rainfall showers.

The staff is the kindest we have met, discreet, professional, and genuinely attentive. An unforgettable experience of calm, comfort, and total privacy.

We have had an amazing stay which helped us immerse in the Japanese and local Hakone way of life. The dinners were exquisite and served with the traditional respect and explanation. Breakfasts were well chosen to give us a truthful and varied tasting. Superb service, polite, punctual and pleasant. Thank you

This was truly an incredible experience we will remember for many years to come. Our room was enormous, featuring a private dining room, garden, hot spring tub, and a massive bedroom. From the moment we checked in, the service provided by the staff was exemplary. A selection of local spirits, desserts and drinks was provided to us on arrival and we wanted for nothing during our stay. The provided in-room dinner was one of the best meals we’ve enjoyed in Japan and showcased a number of regional delicacies over an extensive several course meal. My husband is not a fan of raw fish and the chef and staff were so kind as to accommodate his needs by tailoring several dishes to his tastes. The mattress, pillows and Manchester were of exceptional quality and the rooms were well equipped. The location is stunning, we were easily able to walk to local galleries and enjoyed exploring the area around the hotel. I would thoroughly recommend Kinnotake Sengokuhara to anyone seeking an exceptional and memorable experience.
