Building a Better Future Together in Hakone
The Kinnotake Group operates amidst the magnificent natural landscape of Hakone. Our story interweaves three elements: the surrounding nature, our cherished visitors, and our dedicated team.
We believe in taking meaningful actions together with our guests, respecting the natural environment of Hakone Onsen that surrounds us. Through consistent, purposeful steps in sustainable tourism, we aim to make a positive difference.
We believe that even the smallest individual action can inspire others and create meaningful social impact. It is our sincere wish to nurture this sustainable 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 Planet Sanctuary Program
As part of our social impact initiatives, we have introduced a new stay option for multi-night guests: The Planet Sanctuary Program.
By opting out of daily housekeeping and item replenishment, this program guarantees complete privacy and uninterrupted time, ensuring a personal sanctuary entirely free from outside interference.
We will continue our efforts to build a sustainable future by seamlessly combining the provision of supreme relaxation for our guests with a deep respect for the environment.
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.
