“This traditional Japanese ryokan is an oasis of calm on the edge of Hakone with spectacular Mount Asama views. Soak in an open-air bath or 'onsen' in the comfort of your room after a teppanyaki dinner at the hotel's fifth-floor restaurant; an ideal spot for a romantic getaway.”

Hakone Kowakien Ten Yu

This nine-storey, contemporary take on a traditional Japanese ryokan is located in the heart of Hakone’s green mountains, just outside Tokyo (close to Mount Fuji), with hot spring onsen bathing taking centre stage.
