Christmas in Hakone

For those who would like a quieter seasonal setting away from bright lights and crowded stores, the Hyatt Regency Hakone Resort & Spa is offering a Christmas Celebration accommodation package from Nov. 28 to Dec. 25.

The Hyatt is located in the beautiful natural setting of Gora in Hakone, a hot-spring resort in Kanagawa Prefecture. The hotel's lounge, which looks out onto a Christmas tree in the courtyard, will be decorated with wreaths, garlands, candles and other ornaments, and guests can relax by an open fire as night falls. At twilight, free wine and champagne will be served with Christmas hors d'oeuvres. After dark, there will be a dinner of Provencal cuisine or fresh sushi.

Room charges for the one-night package (double occupancy), that includes dinner and breakfast, start from ¥56,594.
