Cedar.Stone.Still water.
A traditional ryokan deep in the forested hills of Hakone. Three rooms, one chef, an ancient spring. Nothing more.
Forest, water,
and the smell of hinoki.

Late Winter
japaneseThe coldest nights of the year. Yuzu citrus floats on the bath. Snow accumulates on basalt without sound. There is nowhere warmer than water at 42°C.
Few stays remain in February
Check availability arrow_forwardWhat the mountain gave us.
Every material at Mori was quarried, felled, or gathered within four kilometres of this site. Nothing was imported. Nothing will be replaced.
Hinoki Cedar
Slow-growth cypress harvested from the surrounding mountain forest. Left untreated so its natural oils breathe freely — antiseptic, aromatic, warm to the touch. Deepens in colour with age.
Living Moss
Kokedama and kokedera moss cultivated in the garden walls and courtyard. Not maintained — simply watered by rain and morning dew. A living measure of each season.
Mountain Stone
River-worn basalt and hand-set granite lifted from the Hakone valley floor. Split along their natural fracture lines, never cut by machine. Each face is unrepeatable.
Three rooms.
One opens soon.
Stays are by reservation only. A minimum of two nights. We ask that you write to us before booking — a brief conversation helps us prepare everything to your pace.
