ESPACIO The Hakone Geihinkan Rin-Poh-Ki-Ryu is the first concept
in Asia from the creators of
ESPACIO The Jewel of Waikiki, the
Forbes five-star, AAA diamond-winning Hawaii property voted #1 in Honolulu by Condé Nast Traveler readers.
Borrowing the Spanish term for "space" or "universe," and named
for Japan's Kirin, Phoenix, Tortoise and Dragon deities, ESPACIO
The Hakone Geihinkan Rin-Poh-Ki-Ryu invites guests to a calm
sanctuary reserved for a select few each night. The guest journey
begins with a private cable car ride descending 100 meters into a
secluded and unexplored valley carved by the tranquil Haya River.
Guests entering ESPACIO The Hakone Geihinkan Rin-Poh-Ki-Ryu are
ushered into one of nine private villas that have been designed to
honor and reflect the natural environment surrounding the property.
All guest suites are adorned with original artworks created through
ESPACIO'S collaboration with artists across a variety of media,
including Karakami artist Toto Akihiko, Sculptor Tomoya Tachibana,
Dyeing artist Shikeki Fukumoto, Kumiko craftsman Masanobu Shiozawa, Gold and silver leaf Artist
Hiroto Rakusho and others.
Guest villas range in size from 92 square meters (980 square
feet) to 385 square meters (4,144 square feet). Each is a private
sanctuary with spacious interiors, outdoor pavilions and both
indoor and outdoor baths. Several villas feature private saunas,
swimming pools and rooms for tea ceremonies and entertaining. All
villas at ESPACIO The Hakone Geihinkan Rin-Poh-Ki-Ryu are fed by
the pristine Dogashima hot spring, the most prized of the legendary
Seven Hot Springs of Hakone. The sacred spring is not only a
soothing elixir, but also rich in history, having been founded by
Muso Soseki, a high priest of the Rinzai Zen Buddhist sect in the
Nanbokucho period (1336 - 1392). The water flows freely to the
baths of each private villa in its purest state as it has for more
than 700 years.
ESPACIO The Hakone Geihinkan Rin-Poh-Ki-Ryu marks the debut of
ESPACIO SPA. The spa features an open-air Hakone lava cave bath, a
luxury bedrock bath crafted from ancient Austrian marble, and
additional spa treatments inspired by the seasonality of Hakone.
Spa experiences are offered in the private treatment room,
accompanied by the indoor, outdoor and bedrock baths.
Under the direction of Michelin-starred Kyoto restaurant "Tominokoji Yamagishi" chef
and founder Takahiro Yamagishi,
ESPACIO The Hakone Geihinkan Rin-Poh-Ki-Ryu upholds the tradition
of Kyoto cuisine and Cha-kaiseki
with a curated culinary experience of tailored in-suite dining in
the private sanctuary of each villa. Vibrant menus are inspired by
the bounty of Hakone and range from formal kaiseki presentations to
creative interpretations of cozy and traditional nabe hotpot
dinners. International sake sommelier Keita Akaboshi oversees the
hotel's collection of sakes and sake pairings.
