Harmonized Luxury Japanese Hotels

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

HOTEL THE MITSUI HAKONE Maintains Standards of Tradition

— November 7, 2024 — Art & Design
HOTEL THE MITSUI HAKONE is a 126-room hotel situated in Hakone’s prestigious hot spring resort area, within the picturesque Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park. Spanning across a vast area, the property blends modern luxury with the region's natural beauty and cultural significance.

In keeping with the HOTEL THE MITSUI philosophy of “Embracing Japan's Beauty,” the hotel emphasizes exceptional service while paying homage to the local environment, history, and aesthetics. Furthermore, the location holds historical importance, as it was once the site of the Mitsui family’s private villas, further enhancing its cultural legacy.

Set amidst lush forests, the main hotel building provides rooms offering expansive views of the natural surroundings. Likewise, the guest rooms, which include larger villas and a 'Presidential Suite,' ensure comfort and luxury. Dining options include "both all-day dining and a specialty restaurant, each featuring seasonal cuisine, with terraces or open windows that offer sweeping views of the picturesque landscape."
