Gora Kadan
Hakone & Beppu · ★★★★★ · 9.6/10 Exceptional · guest rating
A ryokan-style hotel in Hakone with indoor and outdoor mineral hot springs, a 24-hour public bath, a private Family Spa and multi-course kaiseki dining.
Gora Kadan stands on the former grounds of the Kan'in-no-miya Villa in Hakone. Its look is minimalist and rooted in tradition, with long wooden corridors, tatami floors and sliding paper walls softened by silk textures. Guests wear yukata robes, and many rooms follow a Japanese layout. Free breakfast and a free shuttle from the train station are listed among the amenities.
Bathing is the heart of the stay. Mineral hot spring water feeds indoor and outdoor onsen with separate areas for men and women, and a public bath stays open around the clock. Beyond the onsen there are an indoor pool, a bedrock bath, a private Family Spa and the Kadan Spa for facials, massage and body therapy. Dining includes multi-course kaiseki and a sushi counter.
