Excellent experience in Japanese style!
Very cosy family hotel! Very clean, super amenities (Kose cosmetics), not far from Gora Station (exl. with extremely heavy luggage), more than enough tasty food with super presentation, clean and nice onsen, attention to the detail. Thank you!

Amazing service and fab for families
I stayed with my two kids 9 and 13 and they loved it. Amazing place with lovely people that staff it, we enjoyed being able to book the private onsen for half hour on the first night and although we couldn’t book it for the second (no times suitable as we had a early morning check out) we got to try their public onsen which was great too. The food is fabulous if you are up for trying different things but I would say it’s a lot of food so don’t eat too much for lunch! Both my kids have peanut allergy and one is also allergic to shrimp, they were very accommodating just let them know when you book in. Dinner is at 6pm and breakfast served at 8am, don’t sleep in otherwise they’ll call you at 8.10am to call you to come down! I thoroughly recommend this place 😊

Excellent little ryokan
The hotel was a bit of a trek to get to from Gora station, especially with kids and a lot of luggage. We certainly got a good workout heading there. (The website says to get off at a different stop for an easier walk but because of the typhoon in October, the cable car was damaged so we had to take a replacement bus which brought us to Gora.). However, once we got there, we loved the place. We were travelling with 3 families and it was perfect. The Onsen facilities were wonderful, and the access to a private half hour slot for the Onsen was a great bonus. The tatami beds were so comfortable and both the dinner and breakfast offered high quality food in abundance. The service was excellent in every way. Overall, it was a relaxing and fun stay and we all agreed that we would stay there again in the future.

Our stay at lalaca was excellent. The staff is very friendly. The outdoor onsen was awesome and the 30 minute private slot for each room at the onsen is an excellent idea. The dinner and breakfast were great with a large variety of different foods. Its a very scenic location. We really enjoyed our stay!!

The place was clean, quiet and with a traditional charm but a bit outdated. The rooms were huge by Japan standards (for 2 people) and the Onsen area was clean as well but a bit outdated and simple. Breakfast & dinner were delicious but not amazing. Overall a pleasing experience.

Serene stay at this boutique styl hot spring hotel
The hotel is very close to Koen Shimo cable car station (less than 5 min walk). Food was amazing (traditional Japanese banqurt style dinner and breakfast included), and service was very attractive throughout my stay. They are very caring to my 8 month old son too. The view of the mountain outside of the lobby n room is spectacular and peaceful. The onsen are perfect and bonus that we get to book the outdoor onsen as private for 30 min each day. Very serene to soak in their onsen and that is definitely the best amenity of this onsen ryokan. They only have 8 to 9 rooms so service is very personal and enthusiastic!

Stayed for one night at Lalaca and wished we could have stayed longer. The ryokan is located about two blocks away from Gora and Koen-Shimo Station. Room and hot springs are clean and provide all the necessary ammenities (soap, shampoo, toothbrush) plus more, with skin care lines provided in room for both males and females. The traditional dinner and breakfast were tasty and filling, enjoyed with a nice view of the mountains and in a comfortable yukata. There is also luggage service available to send your luggage to/from Hakone-Yumamoto Station. Most importantly, the staff is warm, welcoming and extremely accommodating. I would definitely stay here again.

Nice ryokan in Gora
Nice little spot that’s well located near cable car/rope way and other local sites. Kazu and his staff were very friendly and attentive. Our room was large and comfortable. Both dinner and breakfast were amazing and very generous servings. Onsen was nice, particularly the outdoor bath. Good views and vibes all around.

Lovely Lalaca Honeymoon
Our stay at Lalaca was the highlight of our honeymoon. From the minute you step through the door it’s a relaxing paradise. Dinner there was one of the best of the entire trip; it was 7 courses long! Breakfast was also a treat, but the highlight was the private onsen! You get 30 minutes to yourself in their naturally occurring onsen with the best view. The rooms are amazing and the staff couldn’t have been nicer. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Simply amazing. Staying at Lalaca was the one part of our budget trip to Japan that we splurged on and we are so glad we did. Some highlights below: - LOCATION: Unlike other listings that we saw around the Hakone area, Lalaca is located in Gora, which is where the famous Hakone Tazon Cablecar to Hakone Ropeway starts. In the morning we were able to catch the cablecar before the rush of people since we didn't have to ride the Hakone Tazon Railway into town (45 min trip one-way). The Open Air Museum and Gora Park are also within walking distance of Lalaca, which are must-sees if you are in the area. - FACILITIES/STAFF: We're unsure why a lot of the reviews comment on the dated facilities and interiors. Everything was extremely clean and beautiful. As a traditional ryokan, we were glad that they kept the more traditional interiors instead of upgrading it to look like some of the more modern/sleek ryokans that we saw in different listings. The staff were so attentive and as there are only 8 guest rooms, it was always quiet and peaceful. I also lost my Hakone Free Pass somewhere in the lobby and the staff put it aside for me at the reception desk for me to find the next morning. I was sure I had lost it! - FOOD: As stated by all the previous reviews, the food was amazing. Even though everything came in tiny dishes (and beautifully presented) in the end we were actually struggling to finish the last few bites.
