Why This Journey is Exclusive

The abundant natural beauty, stunning accommodation, and soothing hot spring waters of Hakone are well known to residents of the major Kanto cities of Tokyo and Yokohama and increasingly among international tourists as well, making the region a popular escape from the rigors of city life. If you are looking for something a bit quieter and off the beaten tourist track, a trip to the hidden village of Yugawara to the south of Odawara can be very rewarding. This 2-day itinerary offers the perfect balance of discovery and relaxation, including an overnight stay at the Kaiseki Ryoan Ashikari with its private outdoor onsen baths (rotemburo) and traditional kaiseki meals along with a tour of scenic Lake Ashinoko in the highlands of Hakone.

Journey Outline

This 2-day experience is fully customizable based on your interests and preferences. Please inquire for detailed pricing and options.

Day 1 − Yugawara & Scenic Lake Ashinoko Discovery

Embark on a private journey from the hidden village of Yugawara to the highlands of Hakone, followed by a night of ultimate relaxation in a private forest-view onsen.

Afternoon ──Private Car Tour of Lake Ashinoko

Your journey begins with a private car tour from Yugawara, ascending via scenic back roads that offer sweeping views of Sagami Bay. Reach the serene Lake Ashinoko, where you can admire Mount Fuji rising over the water on clear days. Explore the lakeside at your own pace—visit the iconic red torii gate of Hakone Shrine, stroll along the verdant walking trails, or enjoy the culture at Narukawa Art Museum before heading to your retreat.

Evening ──In-room Kaiseki and Private Outdoor Bath

Check in to Kaiseki Ryoan Ashikari, an exclusive hideaway nestled in the foothills of Yugawara. Relax in your uniquely designed guest room, featuring its own private outdoor onsen bath (rotemburo) overlooking the natural forest. In the evening, savor a traditional multi-course Kaiseki dinner served in the privacy of your room. Each dish is a masterpiece of seasonal flavors, crafted from the freshest local ingredients and delivered with impeccable personal service.
