A space to induce creative thinking. A hotel surrounded by books, Hakone Book Box finally opens.

Is it because of the logic of "just get your information from the Internet," or because there are more options for fun, or because people simply don't read anymore? As is well known, people are rapidly turning away from books. In addition, the so-called "bookstores on the street" are being swallowed up by the wave of the Internet and closing one after another. Opportunities to come into contact with books themselves are also decreasing.

We would like to introduce a book hotel that opened today, August 1 (Wed.), featuring a collection of good books from Japan and abroad, called "Book HotelHakone Main Box".

The best experience you can have at "Hakone Book Box" is an "encounter with books. The "Book Box" is a bookshop in Hakone.YOURS BOOK STOREIn addition to the books carefully selected by the "Me no Sentaku (My Selection)" section, there will also be books selected by leading figures in various fields, such as writer Ira Ishida, pianist Hiromi Uehara, and actress Miki Nakatani.

The restaurant attached to the building is also gorgeous. Yuji Sasaki, who studied at a two-star Michelin restaurant, is the director of the restaurant, where you can enjoy natural Italian cuisine that focuses on the finest ingredients.

There are 18 rooms of 6 types. All rooms have an open-air hot spring bath and "My Selection of Books. Furthermore, the rooms are designed in such a way that you can enjoy reading books in the bathroom and toilet as well, so you can truly spend your time "reading all you want".

A hotel where you can spend the best time with a carefully selected book in a space that induces creative thinking, from 18,321 yen per night with two meals (per person based on double occupancy).

It is not "I am going to Hakone so I will stay here" but "I am going to Hakone to stay at "Hakone Nemoto Hakko"". That's how much it's worth it.
