With its natural springs and beautiful scenery Hakone is a perfect weekend escape from Tokyo. It has long been famous for its onsen and charming traditional ryokan guesthouses, but as accommodation options have increased so has variety, and this is now a great area for five star and luxury hotel accommodation. Ryokans don’t frequently advertise being five-star, the simplicity of the accommodation style means they don’t often tick all the anticipated boxes, but Hakone has some really exquisite examples with private onsen, balconies with views of the mountains, or courtyards with manicured gardens, silk wall coverings, antiques and original artwork — and incredible cuisine. So you may want to consider a ryokan, even if it’s not officially five star...
