Hakone Retreat före is a resort nestled in the Sengokuhara forest in the Hakone Mountains.
As you enter from the signposted old road to the resort, you will experience a sense of peace and the seemingly slowed passage of time.
Walking through the trees, visitors observe a building that looks like a large glass dome, inevitably taking a deep breath in awe.
The smell of leaves and the sound of the wind rustling through the trees bring you to a modern building that is completely hidden in the greenery.
You are right in the middle of a forest, but for some reason, you feel like you belong, and you feel comforted. A retreat-style stay begins where nature welcomes visitors.
As you enter the forest, 11 villas suddenly emerge amid the lush greenery.
Each building has a different design, size, orientation, etc., and blends in so well with nature that it feels like you've wandered into a mysterious place. You’ll see bird species that have probably been visiting for many years, and you’ll experience the wide-open blue sky and the whispering of the breeze that sounds like it’s saying, “I'm here again.”
Spend time without being disturbed by anyone in your own personal retreat.
In the simple and sophisticatedly designed accommodations dotted around the forest, you can enjoy your stay as you like, whether you're alone or with your friends or loved ones. Just relax and gaze out at the gentle swaying of the trees that you can literally touch, or doze off in the peaceful silence while staring at the crackling fire of the wood stove.
Enjoy a digital detox with friends in the on-site library, and play board games...of course, as you indulge in the large public bath. You can also relieve your mental and physical fatigue by soaking in the natural hot spring at Sengokuhara.
