Traditional Japanese onsen. The only issue iir is in the middle of nowhere and impossible to get any kind of cab or uber in the morning to go to your next destination. Everything at the hotel was great. Service is great. People are extremely kind and helpful, lovely staff!

Beautiful Ryokan. Peaceful and very serene. I enjoyed walking around the town, visiting the Rose Garden, and eating at local eateries. I would highly recommend this Ryokan for people wanting the onsen experience, as you can request it privately. That was the main reason why I chose this onsen. I highly recommend this Ryokan.

This place is a great place to enjoy a private onsen and nice staff. Be ready to to hike from Gora station to the hotel. Its a bit of a steep hill. I would recommend catching a short taxi.

A wonderful traditional ryokan. Clean, with private onsens you can use twice per day (or more). Very friendly staff. Highly recommend! Tip: take a taxi from the train station, it is a 15 min walk but very uphill. Also, for fine dining you can walk 10 minutes to the Hyatt that has two nice restaurants incl. sushi.

This was our luxury stay in Japan. We absolutely loved the traditional ryokan and the private onsen was just dreamy. We had the option to book an hour every morning and evening—we just booked in the evening because in the morning we are usually ready to get our day started (and I think the bookings started maybe at 8am?). We loved the little walk down the hill to the train station—it was a pretty walk. While in Halone, Gora Park is a MUST—it is so beautiful and there is so much to see. I’d also recommend the Hakone Free Pass, which covered all of our transportation, the visit to Gora Park, and lots more! We’d definitely stay here again!

Google maps made this place very hard to find. It’s way up a steep hill and not an easy walk so don’t plan on walking there. It’s a very difficult 20 min walk. Call a cab. Breakfast is not that great and is kind of expensive. Hot mineral springs are nice and are booked by the hour for each room so they are private. Staff is very nice.
