A Modern Japanese Retreat: Your Gateway to Hakone's Wonders

Tucked away in the serene district of Motohakone, this elegantly understated accommodation offers the perfect synthesis of traditional Japanese aesthetic and contemporary comfort. Its prime location at 48 Motohakone, Hakone-machi, places you at the heart of the action while providing a peaceful haven with a view that defines the region: the iconic torii gate of Hakone Shrine, standing proudly in Lake Ashi.

A Room with a View and More

The defining feature here is the "Wa-Modern" (Japanese Modern) room. Designed with clean lines and natural materials, it creates a calming, minimalist space where you can unwind while gazing directly at the famous red torii gate from your private balcony or terrace. This seamless blend of classic Japanese sensibility with modern amenities ensures a stay that is both culturally immersive and utterly comfortable.

The apartment is thoughtfully equipped as a self-contained haven. A compact kitchen with a stove, microwave, refrigerator, and utensils provides flexibility for meals, complemented by a washing machine—a boon for longer stays. After a day of exploration, the hot water massage Jacuzzi offers a sublime way to soothe tired muscles. Please note, the property does not offer on-site parking or Wi-Fi, encouraging a more present and localized experience.

Three Must-Visit Local Attractions

• Hakone Shrine & Lake Ashi Pirate Ships: Step directly into a postcard. A short stroll leads you to the mystical Hakone Shrine, nestled in lush forest with its water-bound torii gate. From there, embark on a memorable cruise across the volcanic lake aboard one of the whimsical pirate ships, offering stunning views of Mount Fuji on clear days. Both are literally on your doorstep.

• The Hakone Ekiden Course: For sports enthusiasts visiting in early January, your location is unbeatable. The hotel sits along the legendary route of the Hakone Ekiden, Japan's famed university relay marathon. Witness the thrilling spectacle of human endurance as runners pass by this historic stretch near Lake Ashi.

• Owakudani Valley: A short bus or car ride away lies this otherworldly volcanic valley. Hike through steamy, sulfurous landscapes, try the famous *kuro-tamago* (black eggs) boiled in the hot springs, and experience Hakone's powerful geothermal activity firsthand.
