Our Ryokan was established in 1870 (Meiji 3) as Ishimura Ryokan in the Nanpoen area, slightly south of its current location. The founder, who served as a head officer at the Hakone checkpoint during the Edo period, began developing Onsen in Owakudani during the early Meiji era and started operating as a healing retreat by drawing hot spring water from there. In 1913 (Taisho 2), we relocated to this site and renamed it Senkoro. For this reason, we are known as Sengokuhara's original Onsen retreat.Before World War II, Sengokuhara was a special area frequented by prominent figures from political and financial circles. The nearby Sengoku Golf Course was even played on by Emperor Showa alongside international diplomats.Many distinguished guests have stayed at our Ryokan over the years, including notable figures such as Eiichi Shibusawa, Kihachiro Okura, Kichizaemon Sumitomo, Aritomo Yamagata, Takashi Hara, Kiichiro Hiranuma; artists like Somei Yuki and Suiun Komuro; literary figures such as Kiyokata Kaburaki and Sotaro Yasui; and writers like Sohou Tokutomi, Masao Kumei, Chogoro Kaionji, Jun Takami among others.Sengokuhara is part of Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park's special district with strict environmental regulations. Building height limits along with restrictions on colors, decorations or signage are rigorously enforced here. In front of our property lies Hakone’s outer rim mountains covered in lush greenery that turn beautifully red during autumn foliage season. Our expansive grounds of approximately 15 acres feature seasonal blooms such as azaleas, rhododendrons, wisteria flowers or wild cherry blossoms.Nearby attractions include Hakone Glass Museum (Hakone Garasunomori), Hakone Botanical Garden of Wetlands (Shisseikaen), The Little Prince Museum (Hoshi no Ojisama Museum), Pola Museum of Art; scenic spots like Lake Ashi or Owakudani; hiking destinations such as Mount Kintoki; golf courses including Hakone Lakeside Golf Course (Kohan Golf Course), Hakone Country Club & Daihakone Country Club plus sports facilities for tennis too!
