Gora Hotels

This hotel was honestly heavenly. So peaceful, staff was so kind. The aesthetic of the room is clearly meant to evoke a blend between modern/contemporary design and tradition.

Do not listen to the negative reviews. This property was incredible. After two weeks of touring busy cities, this hotel on the river was a welcomed retreat.

We stayed in the condominium room and it was very large and beautiful with private onsen. Really enjoyed staying here and only a few minutes walk from Gora station so very convenient.

Lovely hotel. We stayed in a condo since we needed to cook for a gluten-free diet. Great location and spacious apartments. The kitchen is well equipped, although a small oven would be helpful.

We stayed in December 2024. The resort is old but well maintained.

We had a wonderful 3 night stay. The front desk staff were friendly and helped receive and forward our luggage. It's a flat, easy walk from Naka-Gora cable car stop. The onsen was lovely.

I really enjoyed my 2 night stay here!

We spent two night here on a trip through Japan. We wanted something quiet after Tokyo, and this was perfect. The staff was incredible! They did everything they could to make the stay great.

We had the most lovely, peaceful experience at Ajisai! From the moment we arrived the grounds felt secret and serene.

As someone with tattoos in which onsen is usually off limits, I felt so lucky to find this Ryokan that allowed guests with excess tattoos. The place is BEAUTIFUL and absolutely breath taking.

Our family had a wonderful stay at Hakone Gora Karaku, and the service stood out.

Truly wonderful stay! Started off by getting complimentary shuttle from the station (booked in advance) was on time and so nice to not have to worry about getting a cab.

We absolutely loved our stay at Gorakan! Upon arrival we were welcomed by the most hopeful and thoughtful staff you can imagine.

I had one of the best time in this place during my Japan trip in Dec 2026. The hotel situated at the back of Gora station which requires staircase walk hence beware of heavy luggage.

Very good location to take a cable car at Gora station. Walking around 2 minutes to station.
Good breakfast and dinner.
All you can drink alcohol by self service in dinner.

Two years ago, already stayed at this hotel and got the western style room and bathroom inside but this time we got Japanese style room without bathroom inside.

No frills little hotel, where everything works and oh-so relaxing: very close to the train station, nice little onsen (no tattoos allowed) with the opportunity to try out a variety of skin care

Beautiful establishment that is conveniently located on the cable car route.

This is one of the best experiences I have in many of my international trips.
We found this intimate 20+ room hotel (or you could call it Ryokan) via Google Gemini.

We had a wonderful stay at Gen Hakone Gora. The entire experience was incredibly relaxing especially following Tokyo. The lobby and whole hotel is peaceful, and smells great.

We stayed here for 2 nights — wish it had been more. The hotel is nice. The service is impeccable. The shuttle picked us up at the train station with minimal notice.

We stayed here October 2025 and it was the best Onsen we’ve stayed at so far throughout Japan!

I just stayed at this hotel and had the best night there. Staff were so friendly and helpful. Rooms were big and immaculate! And the beds were so comfortable.

It was an unforgettable experience at Gora Kansuirou for our family. From people who welcomed us to the staff in the dining area, everyone was so welcoming and thoughtful.

Our stay at Gora Kansuiro was a truly special experience. The hospitality was generous, thoughtful, and deeply personal from the moment we arrived.

The apartment is well equip, clean and bright and airy. The rooftop has a nice view to enjoy the sunset together.

Great! And if you write this review you get an onsen discount!

Nice place to stay. Not much around but we made do.

Amazing service and beautiful rooms. The shared onsens bring zen to your life and the private, in-room onsens bring peace and quiet.

We had such a memorable stay at Madoka no Mori in Hakone. The entire experience felt very special from start to finish.

Yes this hotel is old, but that just adds to the charm. The rooms are old and some things are a bit damaged but everything is clean and the beds are nice.

The rooms are nothing fancy, but nice enough. The staff was very friendly and helpful, the food was delicious (and plenty). I really enjoyed their beatiful Onsen area.

Booked via their website. Spent 2 nights here and loved it as our gateway to hakone.

Located a short walk away from Gora station, however it is up a steep slope so not so great if you have luggage. There is a convenience store nearby as well as a few restaurants.

It takes a bit of walking to reach the ryokan, but the area is quiet and peaceful.
The outdoor onsen is excellent and feels very authentic.

Very cozy and quiet getaway spot. The staffs are kind, and the food is amazing! Private outdoor bath is available for reservation, and is very comfortable.
