A Serene Onsen with 140 Years of Tradition

Nestled just a leisurely two-hour drive away from the vibrant pulse of Tokyo lies an oasis steeped in history and natural splendor – Hakone Kowakien Mikawaya Ryokan. This venerable establishment, boasting 140 years of heritage, beckons travelers to revel in an exquisite blend of tradition, serene gardens, and rejuvenating onsen experiences. The heart of Mikawaya Ryokan lies within its enchanting 16,000-square-meter garden, a picturesque canvas that changes hues with the seasons. In spring, a delicate tapestry of cherry blossoms adorns the landscape, while autumn paints it in fiery hues of maple leaves. Imagine savoring these breathtaking vistas from the cozy embrace of the lounge, allowing the beauty of nature to soothe your soul. But the true gem of this haven is its renowned Kowakudani Onsen, the very birthplace of the hot springs that have drawn visitors for generations. Here, the waters, hallowed by history, invite you to unwind and rejuvenate. The hot spring bath, adorned with echoes of famous landmarks, offers an unparalleled view of the majestic Mount Asama and Mount Takanosu, a spectacle that merges relaxation with awe-inspiring vistas. Stepping into the guest rooms at Mikawaya Ryokan feels like a journey back in time, with its traditional Japanese ambiance dating back to 1884. Delight in the source of the fountain of hot spring onsen bath water, a relic that whispers tales from the Meiji Era, adding a touch of timeless charm to your stay. For an unforgettable day trip, immerse yourself in the tranquility of Mikawaya Ryokan, where history, natural beauty, and the soothing embrace of an onsen await. Indulge in an experience that transcends time and leaves an imprint on your heart.
