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.

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.

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.

Private Charter: Discover Hakone’s History and Scenic Beauty (Additional Option)

By adding this private charter option to your stay, you can explore Hakone’s history and dramatic landscapes comfortably at your own pace. Choose a 4- or 6-hour charter with a private vehicle and guide, with flexible pick-up and drop-off locations and a route tailored to your interests, pace, and schedule.

Travel comfortably between Hakone’s scenic spots without the hassle of navigating public transportation or driving yourself. Whether you are traveling with heavy luggage or young children, the private charter makes it easy to visit multiple sights in a single day.

For example, you might choose to walk the historic stone-paved paths of the Old Tokaido road and visit the Hakone Checkpoint to uncover how this strategic gateway helped maintain over two centuries of peace. Continue by private vehicle along the scenic Ashinoko Skyline to Mikuni Pass, stopping at viewpoints along the way to admire Mount Fuji overlooking Lake Ashi.

Whether you are interested in ancient history, volcanic landscapes, or cultural stops such as the Hakone Open-Air Museum, your guide can adjust the route to suit your interests, the weather, and your schedule, making it easy to experience more of Hakone in comfort.
