Escape to the Historic Getaway of Miyanoshita in Hakone

With convention connections to Tokyo, famed for its high-quality onsen hot springs and gorgeous views of Mount Fuji across the waters of Lake Ashinoko, Hakone has long been a favorite getaway among those looking for a relaxing break from Japan’s largest city. The Miyanoshita region of Hakone is particularly attractive to visitors, home to many hot springs and fine dining restaurants as well as top quality accommodation like Fujiya Hotel, all amidst the natural beauty of the area.

Witness the Fascinating Blend of Western and Japanese Design at this Classic Hakone Hotel

Opened in 1878, Fujiya Hotel was the first large-scale resort hotel to be constructed in Japan. Founder Yamaguchi Sennosuke was said to have been inspired to open Fujiya Hotel by a conversation with the great Japanese educator Fukuzawa Yukichi, who emphasized the importance of attracting international visitors to Japan. Nearly a century and a half has passed since then, but Fujiya Hotel is still welcoming visitors from around Japan and all over the world. For this history and its unique combination of Western and Japanese aesthetics, the hotel has been recognized as a Registered Tangible Cultural Property.

Staying at Fujiya Hotel is almost akin to visiting a museum of modern Japanese architecture, with different buildings constructed at various times throughout the hotel’s history. THE MAIN was built in 1891, while the COMFY LODGE & RESTFUL COTTAGE was added in 1906 and the FLOWER PALACE in 1936, as well as many other additions and renovations since. As a masterpiece combining the best of Japanese and Western design, Fujiya has attracted its share of famous visitors over the years, including John Lennon and Charlie Chaplin.

Upon your arrival, be sure to head to THE MAIN where you will find the hotel’s front desk. Completed in 1891, this is the oldest existing building on the property. Among THE MAIN’s many distinctive features are its roof of traditional kawara tiles and the curved karahafu gables of its entrance hall, both reminiscent of traditional temples or shrines. To learn more about the history of the hotel, visit the HOTEL MUSEUM or speak with a member of staff.
