A bit of history

Hakone opened as part of the Hiranandani Gardens development, designed to bring a slice of Japan to Mumbai. The area itself is a planned township built in the 1990s, known for its IT parks and upscale residences. Hakone's concept draws inspiration from the real Hakone, a hot spring resort near Mount Fuji.
