From Kyoto to Hakone: Celebrating HOTEL THE MITSUI’s 6th Anniversary ＜November 3th & 7th, 2026＞

As HOTEL THE MITSUI KYOTO celebrates its 6th anniversary, we are delighted to present a series of special events that carry forward the spirit of our core concept, EMBRACING JAPAN’S BEAUTY, from Kyoto to HOTEL THE MITSUI HAKONE, which will open on December 15th this year.

From Kyoto, a city steeped in history, to Hakone, surrounded by abundant natural beauty, these two destinations come together in celebration of a new chapter for HOTEL THE MITSUI. We invite you to join us for these exclusive anniversary experiences as we look ahead to this exciting new beginning.

Overlooking our beautiful courtyard garden, Italian Cuisine FORNI will host a special one-day-only Brunch Buffet and Dinner Party on November 3th.
Inspired by the Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido, the historic route connecting Kyoto, Hakone and Nihonbashi — the birthplace of the Mitsui family business — the event will feature a vibrant buffet showcasing the talents of chefs from both HOTEL THE MITSUI KYOTO and HOTEL THE MITSUI HAKONE.
At the Dinner Party, live music will set the scene as bartenders from both hotels come together to create exclusive cocktails devised especially for the evening. Against the backdrop of our garden as its autumn leaves begin to turn, enjoy a celebration of fine cuisine and cocktails crafted by our chefs and bartenders.
