About Meals
Kaiseki has three basic principles: to use ingredients at the peak of their freshness, to cherish the true flavors of each ingredient, and to cook while being mindful toward those who eat them. We prepare seasonal menus that differ each month so that you can enjoy new flavors in different seasons every time you visit us.

Shinonome
Dawn – A Moment
Embraced by Stillness
Bathed in the music of dawn
reflected upon the stone garden,
One is gently drawn
into a world of ethereal beauty.
Villa Shinonome
Opening August 2025
東雲 Shinonome
A Master Suite Embraced in Stillness
A master suite where silence reigns. From a tranquil dry landscape garden, witness the ridgeline of Hakone as it glows in the hues of dawn.
As its name Shinonome — referring to the fleeting moment just before sunrise — suggests, this villa offers a private space where you can fully embrace the natural beauty of the early morning.
Spanning over 250 square meters, the suite features four distinct areas designed to enhance your stay.
Like the serenity of dawn itself, every detail invites you into a world of calm and quiet elegance.
