A Refreshing Summer Escape at Matsuzakaya Honten

Apr.23.26

Matsuzakaya Honten, nestled in the serene district of Ashinoyu, is a historic hot spring inn with a legacy spanning over 360 years. While we proudly preserve our heritage as a traditional Toji (healing springs) retreat from the Edo period, we harmonize this history with modern hospitality to ensure a comfortable stay for every guest.

Experience the Cool Summer of Hakone
Hakone offers a refreshing escape from the summer heat of Tokyo. Surrounded by lush greenery and a tranquil atmosphere, our inn provides the perfect setting to rejuvenate your mind and body. Here, time slows down, allowing you to immerse yourself in nature and truly enjoy the "art of staying."

Healing Waters: 100% Natural Hot Springs
Our hot springs flow at a rich rate of 200 liters per minute, directly from the source. We are proud to offer a rare blend of three distinct mineral types: Sulfur, Sulfate, and Hydrogen Carbonate. The water is characterized by its soft touch and delicate "yunohana" (mineral flowers) that dance in the bath. These therapeutic waters remain incredibly soothing and comfortable, even during the warmer summer months.

Cultural Immersion and Global Hospitality
To enrich your stay, we offer authentic Japanese cultural activities, such as tea ceremony (Sado) and Kimono experiences. These programs are designed to provide a deeper, hands-on understanding of Japanese traditions in a relaxed setting.

Furthermore, we are proud to have an international General Manager on our team. By blending diverse perspectives with traditional Japanese Omotenashi (hospitality), we ensure a welcoming and seamless experience for guests from all over the world.

Your Private Sanctuary
With only 21 uniquely designed guest rooms, our historic architecture offers an intimate space of peace and serenity. Step away from the everyday and treat yourself to a truly special moment in time.

We look forward to welcoming you soon.
