Hakone Escape with Onsen

Set within the peaceful hills of Kowakidani, this elegant Hakone residence brings a refined sense of calm to one of Japan’s most scenic mountain regions. Perched on the fifth floor, the home looks out across the forested slopes of Hakone and the broader Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park, creating a tranquil backdrop from morning light to evening mist. The interior blends modern comfort with gentle Japanese influences, where clean lines, natural textures, and generous windows create a warm and welcoming atmosphere after days spent exploring museums, onsen, and hiking trails.

The bright living and dining area invites unhurried time together, while a thoughtfully equipped kitchen makes simple meals easy. Two bedrooms provide flexibility: one styled with Western comfort, the other offering the quiet simplicity of traditional Japanese design. A large bath with natural onsen water adds a distinctive touch, transforming everyday rituals into a soothing retreat. With an in-home washer and dryer, heating and cooling systems, and a large television for relaxed evenings, the residence is designed for effortless ease.

Elevator access brings you directly to the fifth floor, while free onsite parking and nearby public transport make exploring the region simple. A bus stop sits one block away, and the train station is an easy walk. From this calm residential setting, cafés, restaurants, and small local shops are close at hand, along with Hakone’s celebrated museums, historic sites, nature paths, and outdoor art spaces.

Thoughtfully maintained and quietly situated, this is a tasteful, well appointed base for discovering everything Hakone has to offer—mountain scenery, cultural depth, restorative hot springs, and the serene rhythm of life in the Ashigarashimo District.
