Hakone Gora KARAKU

Opposite the wooded slopes of Gora's upper plateau, Hakone Gora KARAKU combines a traditional ryokan format with five-star service across rooms fitted with private open-air baths fed by the area's natural hot springs. Each balcony looks toward the forested ridgeline rather than neighboring rooftops.

The in-house restaurant serves kaiseki multi-course meals using seasonal Kanagawa produce; room service extends the menu for guests preferring to dine beside their own rotenburo. A dedicated spa and sauna run alongside the communal public bath, giving guests a choice of communal or private onsen ritual.

Gora station on the Hakone Tozan rack railway is a short walk from the address, linking directly to Odawara and onward shinkansen to Tokyo in under ninety minutes. The property's shuttle smooths the final climb from the station.
