Under the concept of creating a "villa in the woods," Kanaya Resort Hakone will celebrate its grand opening on Nov. 3, as the latest addition to the Kanaya Resorts family to offer guests the ultimate in a sophisticated and comfortable stay.
The hotel in Hakone carries on the villa spirit that the late Senji John Kanaya (1910-1977), founder of the famous Kinugawa Kanaya Hotel, was fond of. There are two floors above ground and one semi-underground floor integrated into a 21,290-sq.-meter plot surrounded by peaceful woods.
The 14 guest rooms — suite, deluxe, superior and standard — were designed with an emphasis on privacy and tranquility. All rooms except two feature outdoor thermal baths fed by the high-quality water of the Owakudani area. Three luxurious suites — the John Kanaya (about 111 sq. meters), Grand Terrace and Wa — boast decks with breathtaking mountain views. Prices per person, including dinner and breakfast, range from ¥27,500 for a standard room to ¥110,000 for a suite (service charge included).
