Its a beautiful place with an authentic feel and honestly just an experience itself. Staff goes out of their way to serve you, kind and helpful. Food is amazing. Not enough good adjectives to describe, you must live it.

Unforgettable
We experienced unbelievably outstanding & personal service, authentic traditional Japanese accommodations, unforgettable Kaiseki dining, and a relaxing Onsen spa experience. One of the finest hotels I have visited in the world. Well worth a stay if you are visiting the Hakone area. You will not find any place better!

A truly memorable experience. Our room assistant (Nene) and the ryokan's staff were very helpful and polite. Something that warmed our heart was that they noticed we were not back at the ryokan at around 6pm (most of the tourist attractions in Hakone close at 5pm ). The staff went the extra mile by giving us a call to check if we required any assistance or transport. Very pleased with the service and accommodation.

Incredible - our best accommodations in Japan. Facilities are beautiful (rooms, pool, grounds), service is over the top (they will drive you to all the local places and pick you up from the train), in room dining was amazing, and private in-room hot spring baths was wonderful. The area has so much to offer - one night didn't feel like enough. A peaceful escape from Tokyo.

We are a family of 4 adults and had a comfortable stay in a room with private onsen. Our stay at Gora Kadan was a truly memorable experience. The service by our host and other hotel staff, the attention to detail and dinner and breakfast options were beyond our expectations. We would like to thank our host, Tamaye for looking after us.

Flawless beyond expectations
Impeccable in every way from before check-in to after check-out. Super-likes: (1) Complimentary transfers are provided between the ryokan and Gora station/other nearby destinations. They graciously accommodated even our very last minute transport requests. (2) Kind and helpful staff who anticipated our every need and went out of their way to ensure we didn’t have to lift a finger or break a sweat. Everyone we encountered provided truly world-class service. Special thanks to our room assistant Raia and the gentleman who greeted us at Gora station and dropped us off - they really went above and beyond. (3) Beautiful, peaceful and sparkling clean grounds and facilities. The family onsen was a huge bonus. We did not utilise the bigger gender-segregated baths but they looked inviting. We did spend some time in the indoor pool and outdoor hot tub which were perfect for a cold rainy day. (4) Huge and well-equipped Japanese-style room with a beautiful garden. We wanted to experience sleeping on futons, which turned out to be very comfortable indeed. (5) Dinner and breakfast were an eye-opening and never-ending spread of top-notch local cuisine. (6) Complimentary mini bar with free soft drinks and beer (which we unfortunately did not fully utilise!) on top of abundant drinking water (Fuji mineral water). (7) Numerous thoughtful little touches like a box of post-dinner sweets, framed commemorative family photo and farewell souvenirs. Worth every last penny and more.
