Nestled in the picturesque Hakone region of Japan, just 90 minutes from Tokyo, Kinnotake Resorts has unveiled a remarkable new experience for travelers seeking a unique and intimate escape. Kinnotake Saryo, a private tea house designed as a secluded ryokan, offers a distinctive concept of a Hideaway Ryokan without overnight stays, promising an immersive and tranquil journey.
This innovative retreat prioritizes guest privacy with a seamless in-room check-in, check-out, and room service experience, ensuring a secluded and undisturbed stay. The meticulously designed space features six Japanese-themed guest rooms, each thoughtfully crafted to evoke a sense of serenity and tranquility.
The ground floor houses four uniquely designed rooms, each boasting an open-air onsen (hot spring), allowing guests to indulge in the rejuvenating benefits of natural hot spring water. The recently renovated second floor offers two spacious rooms, each measuring 43 square meters, providing ample space for relaxation and privacy. These rooms feature private staircases leading to exclusive open-air onsen, offering a truly immersive and private onsen experience.
The onsen water, sourced from the famed Owakudani valley in Hakone, is renowned for its therapeutic properties. With a weakly acidic pH of 2.1, the sulfuric-calcium-chloride springs emanate a gentle sulfur scent, creating a calming and restorative atmosphere.
Kinnotake Saryo offers an exquisite culinary experience, with the “Japanese Black Beef Shabu-shabu (meat and vegetable hotpot) Meal” as the current highlight. Plans are underway to expand the menu to include seafood and vegetarian dishes, catering to diverse palates. Guests can enjoy private dining experiences reminiscent of Kaiseki cuisine, savoring a traditional Japanese course meal in the serene and intimate setting of their room.
Kinnotake Saryo provides adults with an extraordinary opportunity to unwind and rejuvenate, offering a perfect blend of soothing onsen baths, exquisite cuisine, and a truly exceptional atmosphere. This Hideaway Ryokan, reminiscent of a Ninja retreat, encapsulates relaxation and tranquility within a brief escape, inviting guests to savor the essence of Japanese hospitality and cultural immersion.
