Hakone Fujiya Hotel
The Fujiya Hotel is one of the most beloved hotels by international celebrities in Hakone. It is closed now because of the renovation. But you can have lunch at the Kikka sou, annex of this hotel. The Kikka sou was the former villa of imperial family. Only 2 groups or pairs can book the private bath at this villa.
If you have no problem with the Japanese foods, we recommend to book a accommodation with a dinner option. You can enjoy the beautifully garnished Japanese cuisines there.
