ESPACIO The Hakone Geihinkan Rin Poh Ki Ryu

ESPACIO The Hakone Geihinkan Rin-Poh-Ki-Ryu is a secluded luxury retreat nestled in a hidden Hakone valley, accessible via a private five-minute cable car ride through lush trees. With just nine exclusive villas, each adorned with art and supplied with pure, undiluted hot spring water from the legendary Dogashima source, this sanctuary offers unparalleled privacy and serenity. Guests can enjoy exquisite Kyoto-inspired kaiseki cuisine served in their own rooms, an open-air lava cave bath, a marble bedrock bath, and a serene treatment room for ultimate relaxation.

Why We Love This Hotel

Hakone’s Most Exclusive Hot Spring Source: Guests can enjoy rare access to the natural source of the secluded Dogashima hot spring, one of the most exclusive and least accessible among Hakone’s famed “Seven Hot Springs.” Emerging from a remote forested valley, the mineral-rich waters are supplied directly to each guest villa in their pure, undiluted state, offering an authentic and deeply restorative onsen experience closely connected to Hakone’s natural landscape.

Refined Kaiseki Served in Complete Privacy: Dining is designed as a deeply private and immersive culinary experience, with both breakfast and dinner elegantly served within the tranquility of your villa. Rather than dining in a traditional restaurant setting, guests enjoy refined Kyoto-style kaiseki cuisine in complete seclusion, surrounded by the peaceful sounds and scenery of Hakone’s forested valley.

Small Touches, Exceptional Hospitality: At ESPACIO The Hakone Geihinkan Rin-Poh-Ki-Ryu, the experience is defined by thoughtful details that create a deeply personal sense of place. From room keys adorned with seasonal photographs of Hakone to the choice of beautifully crafted wooden chopsticks and colorful yukata, guests are invited to personalize small elements throughout their stay.
