Gora Hanaougi

We really enjoyed our stay at Gora haraougi. Great hospitality service and Japanese style onsen ryokan experience. Strongly recommended!

Our stay was an incredible one night experience that we would highly recommend to anyone. The room was so beautiful and the views of the mountains were spectacular. The food was very traditional and a great experience too. All the staff were friendly and extremely accommodating. If you are able to spend more than one night here, you would be doing yourself a favor. Having your own personal onsen on the balcony was a very nice added bonus.

Uber and taxi are few and far between so if you want to take a car to a station book in advance or you will have to take multiple trains. The property is exactly as advertised. Gorgeous rooms. The staff was very nice and the service was 5 star. Authentic japanese experience.

We made a mistake and booked room for 2 people instead of 4. Room was fantastic and could accommodate 5. When we arrived and confirmed we made a mistake, we were surprised that the same room for 4 was exactly double the price. Understanding it included breakfast and dinner, we knew it would not be just marginally more expensive, but double was a real surprise. So at that price, we rented a second room. I do not blame the hotel for that. But be aware. Otherwise it is paradisiaque!

Amazing stay

First class, top-shelf property with an amazing staff.

A wonderful Ryokan experience — exceptional kaiseki meals, warm and attentive staff, and a wonderful relaxing onsen. Truly memorable stay!

Outstanding location. Staff were extremely hospitable and kind. I knew I would love the view and the onsen experience but the staff’s attentiveness and service blew me away. An incredible experience and omg the food was exceptional

This extraordinarily beautiful place gave my teenage daughter and myself a wonderful introduction to the artistry and variety ofJapanese fine dining. What an exceptional indulgence. The luxury of a private onsen and spa treatments made our stay the ultimate holiday, and we left from this mountain hideaway truly feeling on top of the world

Let me reiterate by saying it’s really unfortunate that I can’t give this establishment a 5 star review all around because the staff, service, food, message treatments, view, general etiquette were all 5 star caliber, especially the staff. However, room cleanliness is a big deal and our room was not only dated, it was dirty and just not taken care of, which is shocking in Japan where everyone takes so much pride in making sure everything is clean and set up. Splatters on walls, dusty corners and air conditioning vents, mold smell, mold in the shower and around doors/windows, dirty uncleaned private onsen on our balcony, I can go on…I know it was a hot time and there was moisture in the air but when we complained, they came in and bleached the shower walls and then everything smelled like bleach. Major upgrades needed and a better cleaning staff. On the bright side, Breakfasts and dinners were Michelin star caliber, staff was on top of it and extremely attentive but for $650/night, I was hoping for a clean nice room with a clean onsen pool to actually want to go into.

Absolutely amazing experience. It is way more than a hotel it’s a complete immersion in the Japanese traditions. We loved every single minute of it and would recommend to everyone. If you can, you must try it!

Great overall but they don’t help make restaurant reservation (the restaurant operator only speaks Japanese and I don’t). Also they wouldn’t help make a shuttle reservation for transport to the train station, perhaps it’s too complicated requiring personal info that they don’t have. Other hotels in different countries can help with reservations. Other than that it’s one of the best hotels I’ve stayed at.

Amazing service. Beautiful space. Completely satisfied

Wow is the best thing I can describe this property. From the moment you walk in to the time you leave. Best stay I had ever had in my life. The staff were great and very friendly. The rooms were very clean and prestine. Food were perfection. I would definitely return back to this property and will highly recommend it to familyband friends.

Amazing property and experience. 10/10 would recommend.

This hotel is simply amazing. Great service, super clean and gorgeous. I loved the hotel and the location.

Everything about this stay was perfect. From the moment we were picked up at Gora station until the moment we were dropped off the service was exceptional and every smallest detail was considered. The food was superb, the venue was gorgeous and the room and private Onsen were out of this world. We couldn't have asked for a better time and hope that we get the opportunity to stay again in the future.

Beautiful stay. Thank you!

10/10 stay, everyone working here was so friendly and attentive. The view was incredible and the room was perfect. Couldn’t have asked for a better stay. The onsen was also incredibly relaxing, and the dinner and breakfast was a great experience.
