Pakistan Karakoram Highway Expedition
Pakistan
Hakone Ginyu is a modern Ryokan set along a mountainside within the Fuji-Hakone National Park, southwest of Tokyo. Built in contemporary style, its interiors combine traditional Japanese elements with stunning modern touches creating a traditional ambience. The entrance and lobby are located on the top of the building, providing dramatic views over the Hayakawa valley, while the essence of Japanese style continues throughout its corridors, the rooms and the entire resort.
There are just 20 guest rooms, spread on four floors, each decorated in simple but elegant style. Expect tatami-floors with traditional Japanese futons (unless you have requested for western-style), sunken floors and both an indoor and outdoor bath. Wraparound wooden verandas with comfortable seating offer grand vistas of the valley below. Each comes has the latest flat screen TV, DVD player and sound system.
Your stay at the Hakone Ginyu is on half-board basis which includes a breakfast and dinner. The menu is traditional Japanese seafood cuisine, prepared with fresh local ingredients. The multi-course meals are served in the dining area of your room in a discreet Japanese style. Later, guests can opt to realax in the community ‘onsen’ or unwind at the Ginyu Spa, which continues the ryokan's theme of pampering. Guests can choose from soothing massages, facials and reflexology.

ChildCare Families with children are welcome to stay at Hakone Ginyu but there are no specific facilities available for children. Babysitting service can be arranged, upon request.
Dine The highlight of your stay at Hakone Ginyu is the elaborate kaiseki meal served in your room in traditional Japanese style. What may appear to be a simple multi-course Japanese dinner is actually meticulously prepared, exquisitely served and, usually, very expensive meal. Traditionally served at a tatami-matted ryokan, the experience culminates with dessert and a matcha tea ceremony.
Relax Another highlight of staying at a ryokan is the hot spring baths. There are three outdoor and two indoor hot spring baths at the Hakone Ginyu, including an open-air 'onsen' with infinity edge pool, where you can laze around and marvel at the spectacular views. There are also spa treatments and a sauna available on the resort.
Experience The main activity at Hakone Ginyu is to take leisurely walks in the surrounding mountains and the nearby Lake Ashi with wonderful views of Mount Fuji.
Location Hakone Ginyu is located in the heart of the Fuji-Hakone National Park with spectacular views of the Haya-Kawa River as well as the Hakone Mountains.
Getting there 12-hour International flight to Tokyo International Airport-Haneda, followed by a 40-minute Shinkansen (bullet train) journey to Odawara and then a road transfer of 1-hour.
When to go Hakone is characterised by a mild climate with high precipitation. The climate here is much cooler than it is in Tokyo. The best time to visit Hakone is from April to November.
