HAKONE DOMA — Local services in Hakone

Staying at Mr. Mori’s villa, “Hakone Doma,” was like stepping into a woodblock print of traditional Japan. Mr. Mori, the gracious host, embodies the spirit Japanese art of hospitality, ensuring every detail of our stay was flawless. The villa itself is a masterpiece, offering the best of what Japan has to share—a harmonious blend of nature, culture, and comfort.

We savored every bite of premium Wagyu beef, paired with Japanese beer and sake, and were delighted by the delicate sweetness of the Hakone rusk provided by Mr.Mori. The villa is perfectly located, just a stone’s throw away from the terminal, with the surrounding paths offering a true experience of life in motion. Nearby, we enjoyed a picturesque Hakone sightseeing cruise, and an authentic Japanese restaurant lay conveniently just around the corner, tempting us with its wafting aromas.

Mr. Mori greeted us like an old friend and guided us through everything, from transportation to enjoying the villa’s onsen (hot spring) tubs. Let me tell you, the onsen was pure bliss for the soul. You won’t want to leave the tub, as the experience feels like soaking in serenity itself.

This visit was a celebration of Japanese culture, their profound respect, exquisite cuisine, pristine cleanliness, and sense of harmony. It was the highlight of our journey, a memory we’ll cherish for a lifetime. Even after we left, Mr. Mori continued to guide us with heartfelt messages about where to enjoy the sakura blooms, a gesture as warm as the spring sun.

Mr. Mori is a true samurai of hospitality, his villa a dream come true, and Japan a country we fell in love with. I cannot recommend this experience enough—it’s a treasure waiting for all who seek the...

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this beautiful home. From the moment we arrived, everything was perfectly arranged - from the relaxing bath and sauna to the carefully prepared interior that made us feel instantly at ease. The level of hospitality we experienced was truly exceptional.
