Wonderful stay - highly recommend
Our stay at Gora Hanougi was wonderful - the staff went above and beyond to look after us and we had the most delicious and beautifully-presented evening meal and breakfast. The traditional Japanese beds were comfortable and it was amazing to have a private onsen in our room with a view of the mountains. Definitely a highlight of our trip to Japan and probably the nicest place we've ever stayed - wouldn't hesitate to recommend staying here!

Fantastic place
Fantastic experience. Felt luxurious. The staff made us feel like royalty for 2 nights. The private onsen in our room was amazing. We also ordered some massages that probably were the best we ever had. The food is great. The dinner and breakfast are done in a great atmosphere in a private room. The food is delicious, but I will note that it can be considered “adventurous“ at times for western taste buds. But that’s OK because there’s enough variety if something is not to your liking. One important thing to note: It’s not a good place to go if you’re vegetarian- because they will not serve you. Go there only if you eat fish / seafood.

Great In-room Onsen and Truly Exceptional Meals
This hotel was built several years earlier than its nearby ten-year old sister hotel, Gora Hanaougi Madoka No Mori. While I was paying nearly identical room rates at both hotels, the size of my room at Gora Hanaougi was only about half of my room at the newer hotel. Also, unlike the sister hotel, the bathroom in my room here was not connected to the shower room nor the outdoor onsen balcony. However, our room had a great view of the hills. The staffs here were attentive, warm and helpful. Similar to its sister hotel, this hotel also provides free pickup and drop-off at local attractions and Gora Station on demand, which was great because the roads to and from the hotel are hilly. I view the high points of my stay at this hotel were its dinner and breakfast, which were truly exceptional in terms of creativity, presentation, ingredient selections, tastes, and services. Bravo!

This was our splurge for the trip and so glad we did. Complete royal treatment from the moment you walk in until the moment you leave. Greeted and taken to a lobby to receive hot towel, drink of choice, and sweet dough with bean paste. Personal dining area and personal waiter/waitress for both dinner and breakfast. Private hotspring bath overlooking the mountain, cannot overstate how amazing that was. Food was great but you will be challenged to try new things. Overall just cannot say enough good things about this ryokan. If you want to spend a little extra on your trip to Japan, this hotel would be a good place to do it!

Our stay at Gora hanaougi was phenomenal. The service was at a level I've never experienced before. If I was able to rate higher I would. From the moment you arrive to the moment you leave you are treated like royalty. Everything from the lobby, to the dining room, to the rooms is immaculate. Cannot recommend enough to anyone looking to relax and unwind in a calm and beautiful environment.

By far my most favourite place I have stayed in Japan. The property is stunning, I was blown away upon arrival with just how beautiful it was, the staff are friendly and helpful, the room was spacious and had an incredible view and I thoroughly enjoyed the onsen both on the balcony and the public onsen. Breakfast and dinner were both amazing and were beyond my expectations. The location was incredible for exploring, you can catch a lift from the grounds of the hotel that takes you to the car park of the Sounzan ropeway or the cable car. All the staff were so wonderful and made our stay even more special.

Gora Hanaougi was the perfect place to stay for the Hakone portion of my trip to Japan. The staff were attentive and professional, the memory of the food will probably last my lifetime, and the room was fantastic. If I ever have the chance to visit Hakone again, I doubt I will consider staying anywhere else.

Gora is the best private onsen you can stay at in Hakone. Traditional ryokan at its finest, Japanese style or western style rooms with a private bath in room. Large natural baths and indoor bathing areas, seasonal ingredient kaiseki set dinner and breakfast included! Staff is always 5* service and lovely. Bit out of the way up the mountain but worth the trip.
