Celebrate Hakone in Style
Experience the Tradition of Ehomaki in the Serene Setting of Hakone
Limited-time experience: Tue., January 20 – Sat., February 28, 2026.
Set against the tranquil backdrop of Hakone, this refined culinary experience is designed to complement your stay, offering a moment of quiet creativity and cultural discovery during your journey.
Ehomaki is a cherished Japanese seasonal tradition, enjoyed once a year during Setsubun, a time that marks the turning of the seasons and the welcoming of good fortune.
On this special occasion, people face the year’s auspicious direction—known as the Eho—and eat a whole sushi roll in silence, holding a wish for happiness, health, and prosperity in their hearts.
Join our skilled chefs to learn the meaning behind Ehomaki and take part in a quiet, mindful moment deeply rooted in Japanese sensibility.
