AKNOT Hakone is a private, whole-home rental set in the quiet forest of Sengokuhara. The house was conceived in the 1970s and presents a clear modernist character. Large windows frame trees and distant Owakudani, and the hillside setting gives the living spaces a calm vantage over the landscape. About ninety minutes from Tokyo, the location balances access and retreat. 

Inside, the palette stays simple and warm. Wood surfaces, clean lines and generous glazing set a composed rhythm from room to room. Doors open to a furnished terrace and a garden, extending the interior into fresh mountain air. The stay is for exclusive use as a private villa, with the focus on time, light and texture rather than amenities.
