"Oh wow! I am so glad the reviews did not fail me. My husband and I just left this morning and it was an amazing and much needed relaxing stay in the middle of our busy trip! Staff was super kind. We did the dinner and breakfast and it was very traditional Japanese cuisine - delicious. We were blown away by our room it was HUGE! I booked the private bath in our room and that was a nice touch. We got off at Odawara station and took an uber/taxi to the ryokan. It was maybe $60 USD but in my opinion...
"Great dinner and excellent breakfast (both at pre-scheduled times). One hour reservation for private use of onsen in the evening and unrestricted gender specific communal use of onsen in the morning."
"The amenities and rooms were very clean, staff were all very friendly and helpful. The overall ambience gave a traditional Japanese vibe but with a modern touch."
"Beautiful historic hotel in the Hakone area with a great legacy. Excellent food and service, nice rooms and a beautiful interior and external grounds. One of the best hotels in Japan."
"Excellent location. Rooftop terrace very good. I am too old to get up from futon and also would liked a chair in bedroom. Gora is best place if you have only limited time in Hakone and the property is only a very short walk to transport."
"We had the most amazing and elaborate Japanese set dinner and breakfast. Hotel staff were attentive and the garden path was lovely however the property could be better maintained specially given the price charged. "
"Our stay was thoroughly enjoyable here. The accommodation was spacious and comfortable in a good location and we’d like to bring the house home with us! 😍"

"Onsen was excellent and food is great. The staff were so welcoming and friendly and spoke English well. The massages offered are also a great find and great for couples. It was super convenient, as they come straight to your room. They offer taxi drop off to Odawara station so just ask. "

10/10 Excellent
"This was a unique experience. The 2 indoor and 1 outdoor onsen were very relaxing. The staff were extremely friendly, polite and helpful. The traditional Japanese food was beautifully presented and tasty. The standard of cleanliness was exceptional. About 25 minutes walk from Gora station if you are dragging heavy cases up the hill! Otherwise about 15 minutes. "
"Amazing place by the lake with excellent views. Room was a good size with a sofa and a balcony overlooking the lake. Very peaceful, near the two gondolas and Hakone Shrine."
