Gora Kadan Hakone is nestled within the former grounds of the Kan’in-no-miya villa, once the summer retreat of the Japanese Imperial family. Combining traditional Japanese architecture with modern design, the ryokan offers a luxurious yet warm and inviting atmosphere. At Gora Kadan, natural hot spring waters (onsen) flow directly from the source, allowing guests to experience deep relaxation and tranquility. The cuisine is a highlight: the restaurant serves seasonal kaiseki using carefully selected local ingredients to create refined, exquisite dishes. The ryokan is meticulously designed, featuring traditional woodwork and materials, spacious guest rooms, and several outdoor onsen with views of the gardens or Hakone’s mountains. It is an ideal place to unwind, center the mind, and enjoy a truly “healing” experience. Service at Gora Kadan is impeccable, reflecting the standards of a high-end ryokan, from staff attention to amenities and personalized experiences.
As a member of Relais & Châteaux, Gora Kadan is renowned for its sophisticated kaiseki cuisine; each dish is crafted with carefully chosen local ingredients, beautifully presented, and richly flavored, delivering a world-class culinary experience.
Located in Hakone, close to natural hot springs, mountains, and Lake Ashi, Gora Kadan is an ideal stop on a Tokyo – Hakone – Kyoto – Osaka itinerary, while offering a slower, peaceful, and profoundly calming pace compared to the city.
