Modern restaurant interior with wooden ceilings and hexagonal accents. Vibrant colored chairs, mural of landscapes, and soft lighting create a cozy atmosphere.
Cozy cafe area of a restaurant with a round, patterned table holding three cups and a notebook. Gray sofa with colorful pillows, geometric lamp, and window view.

Set in a mountainous precinct, Japan’s first Hotel Indigo brings the brand’s signature neighbourhood storytelling to life, offering guests immersive experiences that celebrate Hakone Gora’s history, stunning vistas, local cuisine and hot springs culture. The design draws on the elemental forces of fire and water: fire from sacred traditions and water from the region’s pure hot springs. Together, they capture Hakone’s essence as a premier retreat. The restaurant overlooks a local river lined with Sakura trees, transforming with the time of day and changing seasons, while the enduring beauty of Hakone prevails throughout.
