Even if you don't go in for a bath, you should definitely check out the beautiful architecture of the main building.

"Hakone Rusk" at Grand Riviere Hakone
Grand Riviere Hakone has its main store in Sengokuhara, famous for its silvergrass meadow. The signature product, Hakone Rusk, is a rusk bread made from a unique blend of flour, sliced and baked to a perfect crisp. It has a rich buttery aroma, a crispiness, and a light texture that melts easily in the mouth.
You see this kind of rusk a lot in Japan, but this shop's version is really tasty. They have all kinds of flavors, so it's perfect as a souvenir for friends and family!

Lake Biwa Otsu Prince Hotel
The renowned architect Kenzo Tange designed this 38-story tower hotel. Its convention hall is one of the largest in Japan and often used for events, exhibitions, international conference, etc.
We really enjoyed staying at this hotel while exploring the Lake Biwa area. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, the view is great, and breakfast was pretty good too!

Mt. Yoshino
Mt. Yoshino is acclaimed as the best spot to see cherry blossoms in all of Japan. In the spring, the entire mountain is washed with flowering trees as they bloom from the Shimosenbon (the lower 1,000 trees) at the foothills up to the Okusembon (the inner 1,000 trees).
Japan has a lot of cherry blossom spots, but Mt. Yoshino is covered with sakura and looks absolutely stunning in spring!
