Independent Gora hotels

"If I could ever rate a stay six stars - this is the place. Whatever you think a 5 star stay means - prepare to be blown away. This ryokan stay is in the most exquisite location in the mountains of hakone. The best onsen out of the 10 onsens we stayed in and the best meals in two weeks in Japan. This is the ryokan meant for a shogun."

"Amazing service, staff spoke fluent English and were very accommodating. The free amenities and hot springs were incredible. I would love to visit again in the future. "

"Nice hotel, private hot spring in room with fair price"

"Had a great experience, the view was stunning"

"A lovely relaxing place to stay. The staff were lovely, helpful and prepared to explain about the onsen which was a very pleasant experience. Both our evening meal (vegan curry and beef with rice dish) and the breakfast were delicious. We felt our stay was very good value. The twin room was huge. The area of Gora was again relaxing with both Gora park and the Open air museum within walking distance. "

"Friendly and excellent staffs 😀"
