Building a Better Future Together
The Kinnotake Group operates amidst the magnificent natural landscape of Hakone. Our story interweaves three elements: the surrounding nature, our cherished visitors, and our team.
We believe in taking meaningful actions together with our guests, respecting the natural landscape that surrounds us. Through consistent, purposeful steps, we aim to make a positive difference.
We believe that even the smallest individual action can inspire others and create meaningful change. It is our sincere wish to nurture this project and watch it grow.
Harmony with Nature
The Kinnotake Group draws inspiration from bamboo, a traditional Japanese material, in our approach to hospitality. Like bamboo's diversity and vitality, these qualities are fundamental to our management philosophy. We incorporate renewable natural materials, including bamboo-based toothbrushes, hairbrushes, and business cards. Our careful selection of ethical products, such as Sensatia Botanicals from Bali, reflects our commitment to both our surroundings and community.
We celebrate diversity across nationalities, cultures, and religions, striving to provide our guests with extraordinary experiences. Believing in the butterfly effect of small choices creating significant change, we're committed to positive transformation, starting here in Hakone.
The SKIP Program
Working together with our guests, we've developed an innovative approach to resource conservation. Guests can choose their preferred frequency of towel replacement and room cleaning, helping reduce water and detergent usage.
As a token of our appreciation, participants receive special dining vouchers for use at our hotel restaurants. This program demonstrates how small choices can lead to meaningful improvements, offering our guests a more mindful way to travel.
Thoughtful Cuisine
At Kinnotake Resort's teppanyaki restaurant "Zen," we take a creative approach to cuisine. We carefully utilize ingredients that might otherwise go unused - such as leek tops, carrot and onion peels, mushroom stems, and tomato caps - in creating our rich consommé soup.
This initiative goes beyond simple conservation. By discovering deep flavors and nutritional value in often-overlooked ingredients, our chefs demonstrate their creative dedication to respectful and responsible cuisine.
Ryocance
Our ryokan strives to offer international guests an authentic experience of Hakone's rich heritage. Going beyond traditional accommodation, our knowledgeable staff share deep insights into Japanese culture and local traditions.
Through carefully curated Hakone activities, we guide our guests through the region's unique offerings. We blend traditional Japanese culture, samurai spirit, and Hakone's natural beauty and history with luxurious hospitality. Our staff serve not just as hosts, but as cultural bridges, dedicated to providing guests with genuine Japanese experiences.
