About SEKIYO
Sekiyo stands in Yugawara, among the lush Mt. Wakakusa.
The design incorporates elements of traditional Japanese architecture utilized in villas, and the main hall and the cottages are spread out over a gentle slope with rustic beauty.
The works of artists tied to this area and the carefully selected furniture craft a warm, refined space where Japanese culture and elegance are held in high regard.
You’ll be enchanted by the facilities that are coordinated with the seasons.
Yugawara is an incredibly famous hot springs area. The hot springs have clear, high quality water bubbling up at all hours, flowing into the bathtubs in each room and common baths.
We hope you enjoy the Japanese culture of the hot springs bath.
Japanese cooking that makes the most of its ingredients.
We offer food that will delight the senses, mainly centered on the blessings of both the local area’s land and sea.
We hope that you enjoy it with local sake, carefully selected to match the scents of the season and the flavors of the land.

Rooms
The 8 rooms built in the relaxing sukiya style, a style of architecture that borrows a number of elements from tea ceremony, each have their own distinct charm, allowing you to gaze out at the mountains of Hakone or gardens full of rustic beauty.
The interiors are beautifully tranquil, doing away with unnecessary odds and ends, with flower arrangements befitting the seasons and being enveloped in a warm light in the evening.
We’ve prepared special futons which will allow you drift off into a deep sleep.
We’ve also prepared cottages with an even greater focus on relaxation.
Rooms with baths attached will allow you to enjoy hot springs from your room.

While the potent water is warming you to your core, you can enjoy gazing at the foliage that wraps the mountains of Hakone and changes with the seasons, with cherry blossoms in spring, wisteria and new growth in summer, autumn colors in fall and camellia japonica in winter.
