HAKONE NICA

With the risk of torrential rain bands being widely discussed, I considered canceling the trip altogether, but I’m truly glad I decided to visit HAKONE NICA.The calm, high-quality Facility, the silence where outside noise never bothered me at all, the thoughtfully crafted menu and outstanding execution of every dish—and wine and Japanese tea pairings that complemented each course perfectly. Everything was exceptional, and it was a stay I could genuinely be satisfied with.Above all, what impressed me most was the staff’s warm smiles and hospitality.

This was our second stay as a couple.Just like last time, all the staff were friendly and attentive, and it reminded us what a wonderful Hotel this is.The Room and bath were of course lovely, but what truly stands out at this Hotel is the food.Since the menu lists only the ingredients, we try to imagine what will come—and it’s always even more creative than we expect, which makes it so much fun.Every time, we’re amazed by the presentation, combinations, and flavors, and my husband and I enjoyed dinner saying, “They’re geniuses.”And the paired wines are incredible! They’re so delicious that we’re surprised every time.We were happy to spend such a wonderful time here.We will definitely be back!
