Fujiya Hotel in Miyanoshita, Hakone, hosts meetings, group meals, receptions and weddings. Its largest meeting room, Forest Hall, takes up to 117 people in theatre layout, and 120 bedrooms in four buildings let a group stay on site. The hotel opened in 1878 and many of its buildings are registered cultural properties.
Seminars and company events
The hotel's Meetings and Events offer is built around private rooms with a full meal service. Forest Hall, on the second floor of the Forest Wing, is the room for seminars and presentations. It sits in the area reserved for hotel guests, has Wi-Fi, and the layout is adjusted to the request. Henry's Room, on the third floor of the Cascade Wing, is a smaller private room for working dinners and workshops served with French or Western menus. Phoenix Room, in the basement of the dining building, holds up to 25 people and suits a board meeting or a working lunch. Group lunches start at 10 people and come in Japanese, French or Western versions.
Weddings and receptions
The hotel runs its own wedding service, with a separate website and bridal salons in Aoyama and Yokohama for couples who prefer to meet in the city. The classic chapel reopened in April 2026 after renovation, and Shinto ceremonies can be arranged at Hakone Shrine. Receptions take place in the Cascade Room, a registered cultural property restored from a banquet hall, or at Kikkasou, the former Miyanoshita imperial villa. Smaller family meals, such as betrothal dinners, use Henry's Room, which looks toward the Fuji national park, or Kikkasou.
