What Guests Say About Their Stay

An Unforgettable Stay Defined by Grace, Care, and Thoughtful Hospitality Our stay at Gora Kansuiro was truly exceptional and deeply memorable. From the moment we arrived, we were met with genuine warmth and attentiveness that made us feel not like guests, but like we were being welcomed into something sacred and intentional. The hospitality was generous in every sense, but what stood out most was the extraordinary care given to our meals. Each dish felt thoughtfully curated, beautifully presented, and prepared with such sensitivity and precision. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate us, making the dining experience feel deeply personal rather than routine. It was clear that great pride is taken not only in the food itself, but in how it is shared. The ryokan itself is serene, elegant, and grounding. Every detail, from the tatami rooms to the onsen experience, invites you to slow down, be present, and fully absorb the calm of Hakone. The balance of tradition, comfort, and quiet refinement is impeccable. What we will remember most is the kindness—the feeling that every interaction was sincere, unhurried, and rooted in care. Gora Kansuiro is not just a place to stay; it is an experience of Japanese hospitality at its finest. We are deeply grateful and hope to return one day.

I stayed 2 nights at Gora Kansuiro as a solo traveler, in July and I absolutely loved my stay! The staff were very friendly and professional. I even got to practice my broken japanese with some of them. The ryoukan is very traditional, which is the charm, and entire reason i loved it so much. It might not be for you if you have bad knees or back, as sitting on tatami mats an sleeping on futons could be uncomfortable for you, just something to consider. My room «Sakura» had a view of the gardens, and a private onsen bath. I had a dip in my private onsen bath every time I got home from sightseeing, and in the evenings before going to bed, and it really rejuvenates you. Also, I was allowed in public bath with my two full tattoo sleeves, which was a refreshing change from everywhere else i have been so far! The outdoor bath is highly recommended in the late evening when it is dark outside. Both dinner and breakfast were traditional japanese cuisine. Everything was delicious, and the Wagyu was maybe the best thing I have tasted in my entire life. The gardens are absolutely stunning, and I highly recommend taking a stroll in the early morning. The placement is great, near Gora Station and the ropeway. I can not recommend this place enough, and might come back here next time i visit Hakone.

We absolutely loved our stay here. The traditional rooms are lovely. Some bits feel a little dated but it is part of the charm. The staff are fantastic! They were all friendly, welcoming and helpful. The food was unbelievably good. A traditional kaiseki meal every night with exquisite fish that I would never get the opportunity to try elsewhere. We both loved the outdoor onsen. It was really relaxing after a day out and about. The gardens were beautiful too. The place felt like a little piece of calm and relaxation, with the addition of excellent food.

Great combination of traditional with contemporary features, albeit not perfect with either so expect rattling windows with wind, and not many electrical plugs, but just don’t expect perfection and you should be fine. Baths are not huge so i can foresee them getting crowded potentially, but our time was great. The private spa in our suite definitely was a huge plus. Food was excellent, somewhere between traditional and french.

There were four friends staying for 3 nights in Japanese style rooms and restaurant. We soon learned that sitting on rice mats for 1.5 hour dinner wasn’t suited to our old Western bones so for remaking 2 days we ate Western table and chairs and asked for additional futons for bedding. In all of this the staff were gracious and obliging at all times and went the extra mile to make us comfortable. The food was excellent and plentiful - too much food really but expertly prepared. The location was great, gardens beautiful, hot outdoor bath lovely. I have noting bad to say. However, there are 2 rooms in the inn that have toilet outside the room in hallway, one was called Take and the other I forget but they were next together. If this bothers you request to have rooms with toilet in room, not hallway, before you book . None of our 3 rooms had a shower in it, you have to use communal shower and hours are 6 to 9:30 am and then again in evening - so be aware.

The facilities were extremely outdated, and there had been no maintenance or proper dust cleaning. Just because the building is old doesn't mean it has to be dirty, but this was the first time in Japan that I encountered such a dirty place with a strong smell of mold and mildew. I read reviews saying the food was delicious, but it was far from that. The food only looks good in photos. The price was way too high, and I didn’t feel like staying there even for a single night, nor was I in the mood to enjoy the onsen. Don't be fooled by the photos.

Traditional ryokan experience at a fair price. We chose Gora Kansuiro because it was the cheapest traditional ryokan with a private onsen that we could find, and it did not disappoint. Staff are exceptionally kind and speak English quite well. Meals were massive and very good. Felt like they intentionally prepare more food than needed so that you can sample a wider variety of traditional dishes and you will be full even if you don't eat everything (and they are very understanding if you leave anything, as some of it will likely be a bit of a shock if you're new to traditional Japanese food). A few spiders in the bathroom and private bath area, but that should be expected for this kind of building. Futon beds are not the most comfortable but hats all part of the experience. Private bath is smaller than I expected based on the photos, but still plenty big enough. Shared baths are available and were empty when we went, probably because most of the rooms have a private bath anyways. The outdoor shared bath is lovely. Overall, one of the best and most memorable hotel stays of my life.

We loved our stay here, it was a perfect authentic experience at a well maintained, beautiful property. Yes, it is an older property, but it is very well cleaned and was exactly what we were looking for. As we weren’t used to sleeping on the floor, the first night was a little uncomfortable, but we doubled up futons the second night and it was great. The food gave us exposure to a lot of Japanese food we didn’t get to try on the rest of our trip, although it was slightly repetitive. Everything was very well cooked except the fish which was very dry. The grounds were AMAZING, so beautiful, including the outdoor onsens. The common bath seemed intimidating but really wasn’t and was tattoo friendly. The service was 10/10.

An Unforgettable Stay Defined by Grace, Care, and Thoughtful Hospitality Our stay at Gora Kansuiro was truly exceptional and deeply memorable. From the moment we arrived, we were met with genuine warmth and attentiveness that made us feel not like guests, but like we were being welcomed into something sacred and intentional. The hospitality was generous in every sense, but what stood out most was the extraordinary care given to our meals. Each dish felt thoughtfully curated, beautifully presented, and prepared with such sensitivity and precision. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate us, making the dining experience feel deeply personal rather than routine. It was clear that great pride is taken not only in the food itself, but in how it is shared. The ryokan itself is serene, elegant, and grounding. Every detail, from the tatami rooms to the onsen experience, invites you to slow down, be present, and fully absorb the calm of Hakone. The balance of tradition, comfort, and quiet refinement is impeccable. What we will remember most is the kindness—the feeling that every interaction was sincere, unhurried, and rooted in care. Gora Kansuiro is not just a place to stay; it is an experience of Japanese hospitality at its finest. We are deeply grateful and hope to return one day.

It was clean and nice . Not super luxury . The check out time was ridiculously early

We had the most amazing and elaborate Japanese set dinner and breakfast. Hotel staff were attentive and the garden path was lovely however the property could be better maintained specially given the price charged.

I stayed 2 nights at Gora Kansuiro as a solo traveler, in July and I absolutely loved my stay! The staff were very friendly and professional. I even got to practice my broken japanese with some of them. The ryoukan is very traditional, which is the charm, and entire reason i loved it so much. It might not be for you if you have bad knees or back, as sitting on tatami mats an sleeping on futons could be uncomfortable for you, just something to consider. My room «Sakura» had a view of the gardens, and a private onsen bath. I had a dip in my private onsen bath every time I got home from sightseeing, and in the evenings before going to bed, and it really rejuvenates you. Also, I was allowed in public bath with my two full tattoo sleeves, which was a refreshing change from everywhere else i have been so far! The outdoor bath is highly recommended in the late evening when it is dark outside. Both dinner and breakfast were traditional japanese cuisine. Everything was delicious, and the Wagyu was maybe the best thing I have tasted in my entire life. The gardens are absolutely stunning, and I highly recommend taking a stroll in the early morning. The placement is great, near Gora Station and the ropeway. I can not recommend this place enough, and might come back here next time i visit Hakone.

We absolutely loved our stay here. The traditional rooms are lovely. Some bits feel a little dated but it is part of the charm. The staff are fantastic! They were all friendly, welcoming and helpful. The food was unbelievably good. A traditional kaiseki meal every night with exquisite fish that I would never get the opportunity to try elsewhere. We both loved the outdoor onsen. It was really relaxing after a day out and about. The gardens were beautiful too. The place felt like a little piece of calm and relaxation, with the addition of excellent food.

Great combination of traditional with contemporary features, albeit not perfect with either so expect rattling windows with wind, and not many electrical plugs, but just don’t expect perfection and you should be fine. Baths are not huge so i can foresee them getting crowded potentially, but our time was great. The private spa in our suite definitely was a huge plus. Food was excellent, somewhere between traditional and french.

There were four friends staying for 3 nights in Japanese style rooms and restaurant. We soon learned that sitting on rice mats for 1.5 hour dinner wasn’t suited to our old Western bones so for remaking 2 days we ate Western table and chairs and asked for additional futons for bedding. In all of this the staff were gracious and obliging at all times and went the extra mile to make us comfortable. The food was excellent and plentiful - too much food really but expertly prepared. The location was great, gardens beautiful, hot outdoor bath lovely. I have noting bad to say. However, there are 2 rooms in the inn that have toilet outside the room in hallway, one was called Take and the other I forget but they were next together. If this bothers you request to have rooms with toilet in room, not hallway, before you book . None of our 3 rooms had a shower in it, you have to use communal shower and hours are 6 to 9:30 am and then again in evening - so be aware.

The facilities were extremely outdated, and there had been no maintenance or proper dust cleaning. Just because the building is old doesn't mean it has to be dirty, but this was the first time in Japan that I encountered such a dirty place with a strong smell of mold and mildew. I read reviews saying the food was delicious, but it was far from that. The food only looks good in photos. The price was way too high, and I didn’t feel like staying there even for a single night, nor was I in the mood to enjoy the onsen. Don't be fooled by the photos.

Traditional ryokan experience at a fair price. We chose Gora Kansuiro because it was the cheapest traditional ryokan with a private onsen that we could find, and it did not disappoint. Staff are exceptionally kind and speak English quite well. Meals were massive and very good. Felt like they intentionally prepare more food than needed so that you can sample a wider variety of traditional dishes and you will be full even if you don't eat everything (and they are very understanding if you leave anything, as some of it will likely be a bit of a shock if you're new to traditional Japanese food). A few spiders in the bathroom and private bath area, but that should be expected for this kind of building. Futon beds are not the most comfortable but hats all part of the experience. Private bath is smaller than I expected based on the photos, but still plenty big enough. Shared baths are available and were empty when we went, probably because most of the rooms have a private bath anyways. The outdoor shared bath is lovely. Overall, one of the best and most memorable hotel stays of my life.

We loved our stay here, it was a perfect authentic experience at a well maintained, beautiful property. Yes, it is an older property, but it is very well cleaned and was exactly what we were looking for. As we weren’t used to sleeping on the floor, the first night was a little uncomfortable, but we doubled up futons the second night and it was great. The food gave us exposure to a lot of Japanese food we didn’t get to try on the rest of our trip, although it was slightly repetitive. Everything was very well cooked except the fish which was very dry. The grounds were AMAZING, so beautiful, including the outdoor onsens. The common bath seemed intimidating but really wasn’t and was tattoo friendly. The service was 10/10.
