This was our third time staying at Hakone Gora KARAKU, and it’s still one of our favorite places in Hakone. The location is super convenient—just a short walk from Gora Station. We booked a room with a semi-open private onsen tub, which my wife really enjoyed. I spent more time in the public baths with sauna and steam (they switch each night). It was never crowded, so it felt peaceful and relaxing. The lounge was fine—coffee was delicious, but snacks were pretty limited. Our stay included Japanese-style breakfast and kaiseki dinner both nights. The food was absolutely delicious, beautifully plated, and served at a nice, relaxed pace. The staff were friendly, professional, and helpful—exactly what you’d expect from great Japanese hospitality. We keep coming back because the mix of comfort, great food, relaxing baths, and welcoming service is hard to beat. Already looking forward to the next trip!

Private onsen was amazing, the location walking distance from train station and cable car y very convenient, and the complimentary shuttle service to Odawara made a whole difference. All the little details in the room and the food was amazing, we would love to go back!

If you want to treat yourself and stay in one of the best properties and locations in Gora (Hakone), book some time at KARAKU. The rooms, private and guest onsen, amenities, dining, staff, and overall experience was a highlight of our trip. This is a truly special ryokan, and caters perfectly to visitors from all over the globe.
