Madoka no Mori
Hakone

Located in the heart of Mt. Fuji National Park (Hakone), Madoka no Mori is one of Japan’s most luxurious ryokan (traditional inns), offering a serene retreat that blends timeless Japanese aesthetics with modern comfort. Opened in 2014, this luxury ryokan sets a high standard with its elegant design, which immediately impresses upon arrival. Guests are welcomed by a castle tower-inspired elevator and a traditional water-wheel at the entrance, charming replicas reminiscent of Japan’s historical charm.

Immerse Yourself in the Tranquil Beauty of Hakone

As you step inside, the calming atmosphere envelops you. The ryokan’s interior is crafted from warm cedar woods, adorned with hand-painted Japanese folding screens, and features tatami mat flooring made from dyed green grass, rather than the traditional straw. The soothing green hue beautifully complements the natural surroundings of Hakone Valley, creating a truly peaceful environment.

Most rooms at Madoka no Mori offer private balconies with stunning views of the lush valley, while many also feature their own private hot spring baths, a hallmark of luxury in the region. The rooms blend traditional Japanese elements with luxurious modern amenities, including spacious western-style bedrooms, modern shower areas and beautifully crafted local yosuga design motifs that give each room a unique, authentic charm.

Exquisite Kaiseki Dining and Japanese Hospitality

Dining at Madoka no Mori is a refined experience. The ryokan offers kaiseki, a traditional multi-course Japanese dinner served in private dining areas. Many of the dining rooms feature horigatatsu tables, where guests sit at sunken tables in traditional style, adding to the immersive experience. The ryokan’s dining rooms are equally charming, enhancing the overall experience with their serene and intimate settings.

After a day exploring Hakone National Park and the surrounding area, guests can unwind in the beautiful lounge while enjoying a welcome drink or simply relaxing in the peaceful ambiance.
