Grassland Wellness Escape: Sengokuhara’s Meadow Trails and Ryokan Spas in Hakone’s Open Plains

Sengokuhara, Hakone’s expansive northern plain, exudes a grassland wellness escape, where golden meadow trails, volcanic vistas, and ryokan spas offer serene hikes, Mount Fuji views, and rejuvenating onsens, just 40 minutes from Hakone-Yumoto by Hakone Tozan Bus. Framed by pampas grass fields and the Sengokuhara Susuki Grasslands, this open district draws nature lovers and wellness seekers to its breezy paths, perfect for a rejuvenating escape after visiting the Pola Museum of Art or savoring shojin ryori at a local temple. Revered by locals for its untouched beauty and quiet charm, Sengokuhara offers English-friendly signage at major sites, accessible trails, and lesser-known wellness spots tucked in ryokan retreats, balancing iconic nature destinations with exclusive self-care experiences. From meditative walks through susuki fields to hot stone therapies at Senkyoro Onsen, Sengokuhara’s escape weaves a restorative haven where Hakone’s pastoral soul stretches wide, inviting you to find tranquility in a district where open plains and volcanic springs embrace the spirit.
