"An ideally situated hotel for a 3 or 4 day visit to the Hakone area. Situated right by the stations and bus stops of Gora. The staff were very attentive and helpful. The food at dinner and breakfast was very good. Our beds were placed on a plinth, so not so easy to get into bed (we're in our 70's) but very comfortable."
"A fantastic stay overall at Gora Kadan. Our room was impeccable with a lovely balcony that featured a small Japanese garden. The room assistant was attentive and helpful. The kaiseki meals were presented in lovely dishes with sophisticated design, were tasty and quite elaborate, each meal was truly a feast for the eyes and taste buds. Each meal was a true feast for the senses and the taste buds. The onsen was just the perfect size. We are already planning our next trip to Gora Kadan with more...
"Amazing experience- the room was great, the staff was incredibly attentive and kind. The food was beyond delicious, wish I stayed more!!

"Wish we could have stayed for another night.
Staff was incredible, property is fantastic with excellent central location near Gora station.
Walked from Suiun to The Hakone Open-Air Museum easily with the best Lawsons along the way.
We did not make it to Hakone Gora Park but it was right next door, down the street was a Hakone Tozan Railway stop.
Enjoyed a snack and drinks at Gora Brewery and Grill which was right by Suiun as well.
The private room onsen was amazing, loved the option for...
"Nice and traditional ryokan with onsen facilities in beutiful Gora. Short walking distance from the Gora cable car. Very nice and interesting Japanese dinner and breakfast included. Great experience to eat wearing our yukatas, available in our room. "
"The staff of Gora Kansuiro is a highlight of this ryokan. Everyone showed above and beyond hospitality, from the moment we even stepped into the parking lot! The location, tucked in the green woods with gardens and walking paths surrounding it, is perfect - just a short walk from Gora station (also note: the switchback train up the mountain to Gora station is a wonderful unique experience all on its own). We loved the expansive Sakura room up some stairs, with its beautiful sun porch looking out...
"We loved staying in Gora! Highly recommend venturing to this part of Japan! The Open Art Museum was easy to get to and a treat! We truly enjoyed the onsen, sauna and cold plunge, adding a spa like experience to our stay. Overall a very relaxing visit."
"Gorgeous! So serene and feels rural even though its steps from the cable car stop. The room was really large, and of course the main attraction is the private on-porch onsen. I made the most of the hot spring, and I couldn’t get over the view from the dining room! Great place to unwind for 1-2 days on your trip, just like a spa—hang out in the onsen, enjoy the multi-course meals, and if you do feel like leaving, walk a few steps down the road to the Hakone ropeway and see if you can get a...

The staff was absolutely amazing. The onsen is lovely, the food is great, and the views are fantastic. This was our splurge of the trip and it was worth every penny.
The Villa was new and up scale and roomy. It was super clean and great instruction on how to deal with the needs for our 2 days stay. The bedrooms was good size with comfortable Queens size bed and not those twin size. The beds were great and firm enough you know they weren't cheap material. The amenities were great with the sauna room was clean and equipped with sauna towel along with the private hot tub in the unit and no need to share. The balcony was great for BBQ with family and friends....
Amazing modern ryokan with private open air onsen on balcony! Spectacular views of the mountains all the way to the ocean! Great service from friendly and accommodating staff serving in room meals! Large public bath in basement with sauna and free massage chairs!
Loved loved loved! Wished I had booked this for the entire trip and probably will book again if I return. The home was thoughtfully curated and exactly as pictured. Very scenic drive and quiet neighborhood. Instructions were straightforward with check-in/route/guidelines and host was very responsive. Note: if you are using public transport and have more than a back pack, I suggest catching a ride from the drop off point to the home.
This was the best experience I’ve ever had at a resort or hotel. The facilities are in immaculate condition. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast and dinners were world class. If I had known how wonderful our stay would be I would have booked several more nights. Im very grateful for a wonderful stay.
Amazing dinner in the hotel restaurant. The Wagyu beef was melt in your mouth fantastic. Great wine. The private onsen was perfect and so relaxing at the end of the night. Super comfortable bed and spacious room. Wish I had booked two nights. My only complaint is the coffee in the room is more espresso style and I love a big hearty cup of coffee in the morning. The hotel doesn’t offer coffee in the lobby which is a bummer. We didn’t add breakfast just because we don’t usually do breakfast....
Always enjoy my stay at this property but was disappointed this time with breakfast. They no longer serve drinks to order instead a big thermos for coffee and tea were on the counter, of course taste was subpar. The manager saw my surprise at this and offered drinks to order but I believe this should be a minimum standard for a brand like Hyatt Regency. In my humble opinion, you don’t need curry in the morning buffet but you should offer quality coffee and tea to kick off the day pleasantly.
Meals were amazing multi-course affairs with excellently prepared and well presented courses. I would definitely recommend KUON to my friends or stay there again when next in Hakone.
Staying in this hotel was one of the most amazing experiences during my trip.
The room was spacious and even had a restroom, which was a nice surprise. Although the rooms were marked as smoking (perhaps by mistake), there was absolutely no odor.
The kaiseki dinner was incredible, and the breakfast was great. Used the indoor onsen, which was nice and clean. Sleeping on the tatami floors wasn't very comfortable, but one night was okay, and I got the experience that I was looking for.
Overall -...
Very nice, clean hotel in the charming Gora neighborhood and although it is right next to the train station you will never hear the crowds or the train. The staff is very friendly and speak excellent English. Our private room for 4 with private bath was roomy for our family of 2 adults and 2 teens. The breakfast for 800 yen is quite good and the onsen is clean and therapeutic!
I loved this hotel, wish I could stay longer. Lovely common areas to relax both indoors and outdoors, free drinks and snacks, alcoholic at night, as well as a lovely array of desserts in the evening. Everyone walking around in their yukatas provided by the hotel gives a very relaxing vibe. I enjoyed both the communal (had it to myself) and private onsens. It was nice that the private pnsen had a window to see nature outside. The outdoor terrace with footbath was also lovely, with...
Peaceful bliss! Right up in the forest-laden mountains of Hakone, this traditionally modern ryokan should tick every mark you need for relaxation: simple, quiet, and surrounded by nature.
The mineralized onsens feel fantastic... so much so, I was melting straight into myself! All the tension from long walks in Tokyo, gone in a sultry soak. You get to pick two bath times too -- one in the evening, one in the morning -- in one of three baths (one indoor, one outdoor, and one I forget).

The food was phenomenal, the staff was super friendly and accommodating. The room was very spacious and had a wonderful view. We got to experience two different onsen and both were perfect to relax in and the second had a wonderful night sky view. We honeymooned here and could not be happier.
