Introducing Hotel Indigo Hakone Gora

With restaurants and bars designed as social destinations, Hotel Indigo Hakone Gora has based its experience and food philosophy on the elements.

Rooms overlooking the Haya River offer private open-air baths where guests can enjoy a moment of luxury while breathing in clean mountain air.
