The room we stayed in this time was Room 107, a "Western-style twin room (41 square meters)," a room exclusively for guests traveling with their dogs. It is a special room designed for guests to "stay as if they were living there" with their dogs. The door to the room is quietly adorned with Hakone's traditional marquetry technique, and the geometric beauty created by the delicate wood grain elevates an ordinary door into a "work of art by a craftsman," making the moment you step into the room a special experience.
The room can be unlocked smartly with the two card keys provided, and the door has an automatic locking mechanism, so you can stay with peace of mind even if you are traveling with your dog. From the moment you enter the room, you can feel the thoughtful design that prioritizes privacy and comfort.
A full-length mirror, large enough to show your entire body, is installed directly opposite the entrance to each guest room. This thoughtful touch is appreciated not only by guests who want to tidy themselves up before going out, but also by those who want to enjoy dressing up while traveling.
On top of the shoe box, you'll find a selection of dog-related items and grooming supplies, allowing you to clean your dog's paws before entering the room after a day out. The thoughtful attention to detail from the inn, ensuring a comfortable stay for you and your dog, is evident in every aspect.

Particularly noteworthy are the private open-air baths with simple sulfurous hot spring water in all 30 rooms.

The cypress bath envelops you in the warmth of the wood, while the ceramic bath reflects the softness of the water's surface. Each bath has a different character, and each room is designed to create a "personalized bathing experience" for each guest. Our room has a cypress wood bath that gives off a soft impression.
