Alila Sengokuhara Hakone will be Alila's first hotel in Japan and its fourteenth in Asia when it opens in 2028 in Sengokuhara, a highland district of Hakone known for its mineral-rich hot springs.

Alila Hakone Location
The Alila Hakone's location is about a 9-minute drive from the existing Hyatt Regency Hakone, a 10-minute drive from the Hakone Open Air Museum, and a 30-minute drive from Odawara Station, just a 33-minute ride from Tokyo on the Tokaido Shinkansen (bullet train) line.
Set within Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park, Sengokuhara has long been regarded as a tranquil escape from urban life. The area is beloved by Japanese and international travelers alike for its seasonal beauty, art museums, volcanic terrain and panoramic views toward Mt. Kintoki. In autumn, pampas grass fields sway softly across the landscape, creating one of Hakone’s most iconic natural scenes. It is this balance of stillness and elemental beauty that makes Sengokuhara a natural home for Alila’s first hotel in Japan.

Alila Hakone Design and Amenities
The design of Alila Sengokuhara Hakone will be by internationally acclaimed Kengo Kuma and Associates, whose approach will integrate the resort into its mountain setting and make full use of natural light.
“We are designing a hotel that will blend seamlessly into Hakone’s magnificent natural setting,” said Mr. Kuma. “Our architecture will become part of the landscape, flowing with the site’s elevation changes and integrating natural light to achieve a seamless connection with the environment.”
At the heart of Alila Sengokuhara Hakone will be a wellbeing experience shaped by one of Japan’s most treasured traditions: the onsen. The hotel will feature 60 guest accommodations, including 11 suites, each with a private natural hot spring bath, allowing guests to experience the restorative qualities of Hakone’s thermal waters in a deeply personal setting.
The resort’s restaurant and bar will celebrate locally sourced ingredients through seasonal menus that draw from nearby fields, forests and seas.
Extending beyond the spa, the resort’s wellness philosophy will unfold through movement, nature and ritual. A yoga deck immersed in the surrounding landscape will offer guests a quiet space to breathe, stretch and reconnect.
