Enjoy Sengokuhara in all four seasons with your dog
Signs of autumn begin to appear in Hakone Sengokuhara from late August.

In an environment surrounded by Mori, you can escape from everyday life and enjoy the slow flow of time quietly with your beloved dog.
In winter, you can gaze upon the snow-covered Mori, in spring the new green leaves emerge, and in summer you can enjoy the deep greenery and refreshing Takaharu air. The stay itself becomes a "journey to enjoy the seasons," making the time you spend with your beloved dog even more special.
