YOU DON’T VISIT RYUGUDEN. YOU DRIFT INTO IT
On the tranquil shores of Lake Ashi, Ryuguden blends deep heritage and profound serenity. This registered cultural asset feels like a living postcard, with tatami rooms framing Mt. Fuji and the lake. Indulge in dishes prepared with local seafood and seasonal ingredients, then soak in the open-air bath where water and sky become one. From forest walks to ropeway views over Owakudani’s volcanic steam, Hakone reveals its dreamlike calm. A complimentary shuttle from Odawara Station makes arrival as effortless as the stay itself.
Beautiful Views that Continues to Shine as Brightly as Ever: A Ryokan Surrounded and Protected by the Gods
Hakone has been called the inner parlor of the ancient capital Edo, and has flourished as a place of great significance in the hearts of the Japanese people for hundreds of years. Ryuguden is a purely Japanese-style ryokan located by the shores of Lake Ashi. Every room has a view of the majestic Mount Fuji and magnificent Lake Ashi. Relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery as it transitions from dusk to early morning. Feel the mystery of being surrounded and protected by the gods in the middle of three shrines: Hakone Shrine, Kuzuryu Shrine, and Hakone Mototsumiya Shrine, Shrine of the Sky.
