KAI Sengokuhara is a hot spring ryokan located near Hakone in a vast natural setting 700 meters up in the mountains. Both gallery and atelier, the ryokan is adorned with artwork by local artists, and it offers activities in which artists and staff inspire guests to explore their creativity.
At KAI Sengokuhara, the rooms feature the artworks created by twelve artists who invited from around the world to serve as artists in residence. During their stay, the artists immerse themselves in the location to create artworks that are then displayed in the ryokan’s rooms. Each artist offers a different perspective of Sengokuhara that enhances the ryokan’s sense of place.
Guests are served Japanese cuisine that highlights the aromas and other qualities of the local seafood and vegetables, reflecting the ryokan’s location in the mountains and proximity to the ocean. Dishes and dishware are combined in ways both beautiful and playful, as befitting an art-oriented ryokan.
