Kato Pleasure Group (Tokyo HQ: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President & Group CEO: Hiroaki Kato) is pleased to announce that 'Hakone Suishoen (est. 2007)' will welcome guests with a refreshed interior starting April 9, 2026. (The facility had been closed for renovation since September last year.)
**A New Chapter Infused with History from 1925**
Hakone Suishoen is a historic property comprising 23 rooms surrounding the 'Ryotei Momiji,' a building constructed in 1924 and recognized as a National Registered Tangible Cultural Property. All guest rooms are equipped with private, source-fed open-air baths, allowing guests to relax while overlooking gardens that change with the seasons. The main building features an open-air bath with a sauna and a spa from the world-class high-end brand Sisley. At Ryotei Momiji, guests can enjoy refined Japanese cuisine and teppanyaki prepared by skilled chefs, along with the 'Ito' bar.
As the property enters its 19th year, the overall interior has been meticulously maintained, and furniture and lighting have been updated to offer an even more captivating stay while preserving the facility's original charm.
**Peaceful Moments on a Century-Old Veranda**
Built in 1925, Ryotei Momiji has witnessed 100 years of history and continues to convey its profound atmosphere today. We have prepared special moments on the veranda (Engawa) where guests can immerse themselves in the quiet air. From check-in until sunset, guests can freely enjoy their favorite beverages. To accompany these moments, we offer traditional Japanese tea snacks that have long been loved. A maple tree over 300 years old stands beside the veranda, allowing guests to feel the peaceful flow of time.
Additionally, guests can enjoy various Japanese-style activities as new experiences, such as 'fragrance play' (Koh-asobi) in their rooms and matcha tasting sessions.
