A Serene Christmas in Hakone — Special Events at Kinnotake Resorts Sun., Dec.1 (Sun) – Thu., Dec.25, 2025

Oct.29.25

This holiday season, the Kinnotake Resorts — Kinnotake Sengokuhara, Kinnotake Tonosawa, and Matsuzakaya Honten — will host a special Christmas celebration inspired by the quiet beauty of Hakone.

Surrounded by tranquil nature and historic onsen, our resorts offer a unique fusion of Japanese serenity and the Western spirit of togetherness. Instead of a bustling holiday, we invite you to experience a peaceful Christmas for adults — one that awakens all five senses through art, taste, and gentle moments shared with loved ones.

Kinnotake Sengokuhara — The Tale of the Bamboo Princess
Inspired by The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter, this resort creates a magical bamboo-filled atmosphere. At Bar Bamboo, guests can enjoy a special Christmas cocktail made with sweet and tangy strawberries, along with a hands-on cookie painting experience. Spend a creative and heartwarming evening, adding your own touch of flavor and color.

Kinnotake Tonosawa — Nature and Tranquility in Harmony
At Bar Bamboo, Christmas-themed cocktails will be served exclusively during this season. Guests staying during the period will also receive a ¥5,000 resort voucher, which can be used freely for drinks, spa treatments, and more. With sparkling holiday decorations and the soft murmur of the surrounding forest, enjoy a memorable Christmas escape with someone special.

Matsuzakaya Honten — Tradition and Warmth Since Edo Times
Featured in the ukiyo-e prints of Hiroshige, this historic ryokan blends centuries of heritage with modern comfort. Guests can savor mulled wine, the classic winter indulgence, and decorate a wish card to hang on the lounge Christmas tree.
Share your moment on social media to receive a ¥500 gift shop coupon, and end the evening with a seasonal Christmas dessert — a gentle conclusion to a warm and nostalgic holiday.

A New Way to Celebrate Christmas in Japan

In Hakone’s quiet embrace, Christmas becomes more than a celebration — it becomes a time to reconnect, reflect, and relax.
