Hakone offers a stunning setting for your weddings and reception. Imagine exchanging vows in the ambiance of Japanese gardens, on an arched footbridge over a beautiful Koi pond with a cascading waterfall in the background. Your guests will enjoy the unique setting of these beautiful gardens as they stroll along the winding paths and view the many sculpted trees. You will create lasting, treasured memories of your special day at Hakone Estate and Gardens.

Hakone offers several different choices for your morning or evening wedding ceremony and reception. The Cultural Exchange Center is a replica of a 19th century Kyoto tea merchant's house and has a spacious deck with a panoramic view of the Santa Clara valley. The Lower House is adjacent to a serene Zen meditation garden. Several other lovely outdoor settings are available in the gardens, including the Madrone Mound, Wisteria Pavilion, and Pond Garden.

We offer a preferred list of caterers to ease your wedding planning. For information for weddings, accommodations, pricing, and availability, please contact our Events Manager at 408-741-4994, ext. 103 or email us at events@hakone.com.
