FUFU Hakone is a small luxury resort nestled in the mountains of Hakone at Gora, part of the FUFU Japan brand, reached by a private shuttle from Gora Station. It has 39 rooms, each different in design and each with its own private hot spring bath and mountain-breeze views.
Dining is at a restaurant with counter seats and private rooms, serving prix-fixe menus of tempura, sushi and Wagyu or a full-course live teppanyaki, plus a bar and lobby lounge. Two spring sources feed the resort, with a large milky-white communal bath with mountain views and clear-water private baths in each room, alongside a spa. Experiences include a travel-relay programme with an affiliated Hakone hotel. It suits couples and relaxation seekers who want an intimate onsen resort where every room has its own private hot spring bath.
