ESPACIO The Hakone Geihinkan Rin-Poh-Ki-Ryu offers you the key to a mystical journey – a place filled with healing, comfort, and joy. The concept of “Espacio,” meaning "space" or "universe" in Spanish is evident at our exclusive retreat that can be reserved for only a select few.
When you enter this space, you will see individual sanctuaries, adorned with artworks that illuminate the interiors like guardian deities, each with their own supply of hot spring water that has been flowing forth in Hakone for more than 700 years. ESPACIO The Hakone Geihinkan Rin-Poh-Ki-Ryu pursues the highest level of privacy for its visitors in this incredible secluded hot springs resort.

煌KIRAMEKI
A common feature of all guest rooms is the nod to a harmonious dialogue between various elements from around the world. Sculptor Tachibana Tomoya's work, which adorns this shimmering space, is said to emphasize a "flirtation with materials.” The works, created through a “dialogue" with hard metal, are filled with the breath of life and blend in well with the natural surroundings. KIRAMEKI also boasts a pavilion surrounding an open-air hot spring bath, and the bedroom space can be divided into two separate rooms according to your needs.

麗URUWASHI
Muramoto Shingo expresses the organic nature and movement of natural objects with lacquer, clay, and Japanese paper, yet keeps his artwork as glossy and light as ikebana flower arrangements. His work adorns the interior of the URUWASHI guest room. Outside, trees carpet the scenic valley – a view that can be enjoyed from the front of the room. The theme of "Ryujin" (dragon god) is used by Muramoto to create a connection between the inside and the outside of the space. URUWASHI is divided into two rooms, one with a sunken kotatsu, the other with a bed and a tea ceremony room. Both are available for use during your stay.
