Hakone Yunohana Prince Hotel: Expressing Gratitude to the Mountain Deity ~Bamboo Lights Gleam~ Yamagami no Komichi (The Mountain Deity’s Path) “Bamboo Light Installation” Begins This spring, Hakone Yunohana Prince Hotel has launched a “bamboo light installation,” creating a stunning spectacle of otherworldly light. To the west of the hotel rises Mt. Komagatake, at 1,356 meters, revered as a sacred mountain where the gods dwell and long considered a holy site of ancient mountain worship. At the summit of Mt. Komagatake you can still find historically evocative rocks such as Bakouseki (Horse-Descending Stone) and Bajouseki (Horse-Riding Stone). The hotel benefits from the mountain’s gifts, including geothermal steam and spring water. Our ability to operate today owes much to the mountain deity, yamagami, and in gratitude we have installed a torii gate lit by bamboo lights. □ Period: From Friday, March 15, 2024 – Year-round □ Time: From sunset until 0:00 midnight □ Location: Hakone Yunohana Prince Hotel, hotel courtyard □ Eligible: Hotel guests only (free) □ Details: Centered on a torii of bamboo lights, this soothing experience enhances the natural scenery. □ Note: Hakone Yunohana Prince Hotel is a secluded mountain lodge surrounded by vast nature and boasts the highest elevation for accommodations in Hakone (935 m). In the hotel courtyard framed by lush mountains, guests can enjoy cherry blossoms in spring, fresh green foliage in summer, autumn colors in fall, and snowy vistas in winter. To further enhance the hotel’s iconic courtyard scenery, we will present a bamboo light illumination produced by CHIKAKEN, a comprehensive bamboo-light production group.
