Moments at the Table

Savor a Delicious Kaiseki Course Meal, Served in the Comfort of Your Very Own Guest Room

The approach to cuisine at Gen Hakone Gora follows the hotel’s approach to architecture, taking the best of time-honored traditions and applying a creative modern twist. Dinner is served in traditional kaiseki style, with courses brought to you one after another so that you can sample a range of different flavors and textures within the same meal.

Ingredients for all dishes are locally sourced whenever possible, with vegetables grown in the rich soil of the Hakone region featured along with local meat and fish, as well as other premium ingredients from around Japan. The chefs at Gen Hakone Gora aim to balance flavor and texture with balance and nutrition, and they take pride in making each dish a feast for the eyes as well as for the belly and soul.

For maximum privacy and an uninterrupted stay, all meals—from multi-course kaiseki dinners to refined breakfasts—are served in the comfort of guests' guest rooms. Guests can savor each seasonal dish at their own unhurried pace, free from the distractions of a public dining space. Because dishes served at the hotel must be as fresh as possible, the kitchen is located on the same floor as the guest rooms, ensuring prompt delivery upon preparation. What should be served hot, will be served hot; what should be served chilled, will be served chilled.

As a Wabunka exclusive benefit, all guests will receive a complimentary set of Gen Hakone Gora's original herbal tea. Savor the aroma and flavor of this premium tea either during your stay or after you return home.
