About the Region

Discover Hakone, Frontier Town of the Kanto Region

During the Edo period (1603-1868), Hakone was known as a major mountain pass on the Old Tokaido road between Tokyo and Kyoto, the place where the great Kanto Plain rises up into the highlands at the foot of Mount Fuji. A checkpoint was located at the south end of Lake Ashinoko, marking the frontier of Kanto to travelers heading east or west.

Escape to Hakone Gora for Natural Beauty and Premium Onsen Relaxation

These days, Hakone is a popular option as a relaxing getaway from Tokyo, offering visitors the chance to experience the gorgeous mountains, valleys, streams, and lakes of the region while relaxing in some of the finest onsen hot springs in Japan. Hakone is well known for the quality of its accommodation, particularly at onsen resorts such as Hakone Gora Byakudan.

Deepen Your Connection to the Region

Seto Shuzo Brewery: Enjoy Premium Japanese Sake and Perfectly Paired Local Delicacies (Additional Option)

The sake brewery Seto Shuzo is situated in the small town of Kaisei, approximately 45 minutes by car from Hakone Gora Byakudan. Founded in 1865, Seto Shuzo has been producing fine Japanese sake from the lush farmlands of the region ever since, winning multiple awards in Japan and internationally.

Toji (sake brewers) use a specific machine that replicates traditional methods of steaming rice (The processes you can observe may vary by season)

Enjoy a brief brewery tour to learn about the history and craft of Japanese sake. Afterward, relax on the terrace or in the flower garden, soaking in the beautiful rural scenery while tasting three curated sakes paired with seafood, meat, and fresh local vegetables.

Slow grilling over charcoal enhances the flavor of the ingredients

One sake that you can taste at Seto Shuzo Brewery is Ashigari-go, which is brewed using hydrangea yeast. Seto Shuzo is the only brewery in Japan to make use of this unique variety of yeast, and because hydrangea is Kaisei’s town flower, Ashigari-go is also a tribute to local culture and tradition. This sake is blessed with a rich texture and hints of sweetness that deliver an elegance akin to white wine. Non-alcoholic beverages are also available.
