The Fujiya Hotel

It truly lived up to its reputation as Hakone’s finest Resort Hotel. From the warm welcome at Miyanoshita to the congratulatory message upon arrival, the attentive service from the front desk and Room staff was exceptional. We were shown to Hanagoten, and above all, the immaculate cleanliness was proof of a top-class Hotel. The dinner at the restaurant and the outstanding hospitality made us feel wonderful—so much so that we didn’t even need sightseeing in Hakone; it made us want to stay at the Hotel for as long as possible. We have visited Hakone many times on girls’ trips, and we are filled with gratitude to everyone at the Hotel for creating such a memorable celebration of my 70th birthday through their heartfelt hospitality. If we ever stay in Hakone again, it will definitely be Fujiya Hotel in Miyanoshita—the best in Hakone. We hope to stay at this five-star Hotel again someday. Thank you very much for everything.

Once again this year, we celebrated my son’s birthday in the refined warmth of Fujiya Hotel. This time, we were also able to celebrate his rugby team’s first appearance at the national tournament in 11 years. Since March 2011, when we first stayed as a family for his 1st birthday, it has been nearly 16 years. We have stayed here every March (his birth month) and during the holiday season in December—this was our 20th visit in total. This time we stayed in an elegant Historic Twin Room in the Western Wing. From the large windows, we could look out over Hakone’s mountains dotted with cherry blossoms and the Hanagoten building. The Fujiya French dinner and breakfast—where classic cuisine and nouvelle cuisine blend with an elegance like a painting on a pure white canvas—and the hospitality shared by all staff, combining sophistication with a warmth that welcomes us like family… From “Welcome back” to “Have a wonderful day,” we fully enjoyed our Fujiya Hotel stay once again for all 21 hours from check-in to check-out. A new fitness center has been added on the second floor of the Forest Wing, and my son happily used it before and after visiting the spa on the sixth floor. As it was April, we also saw some new staff members, and witnessing this moment of tradition being passed on moved me deeply. We had another dreamlike time this year as well. I hope we can continue adding our time at Fujiya Hotel as irreplaceable pages in our family memories. Thank you very much to all of your staff members.
