This was a unique and wonderful experience. We had never experienced a ryokan, but we enjoyed it for a night. Room gives a Zen vibe, and once we got the AC going, the heat was tolerable. But the rest of the hotel was quite warm! Dinner was fun, elaborate. Glad we wore the provided robes because no one was in street clothes. We rented the private spa, and that was relaxing. Keep in mind there is no shower in your room. Also, there are few amenities in this town, so plan ahead if you require snacks.

Traditional Japanese hospitality in a lovely setting. The hotel was very simple to reach and the staff was super accommodating to make my stay comfortable and delightful. The meals are a real luxury and served with a full explanation and always a smile!

Great place. Close to the train station. Authentic breakfast and dinner.

Excellent food, staff are super friendly. Easy parking and comfortable beds. Wonderful experience

Awesome place! The owners are very nice

A lovely stay at a family run ryokan very near Gora station. It is not luxurious accommodation by any means but the staff are very sweet and kind. The place is a little rustic but the food is amazing!! Actually they could cut down on a few dishes and it would still be too much to eat! The private onsen was also much appreciated as there is no shower in the room. All in all, I had a relaxing time in Gorakan.

Vores familie på fire (med to drenge på 11 og 14). Nød opholdet som er hele oplevelsen værd. Lækkert traditionelt japansk mad (aften og morgen) samt godt bade (onsen). Hotellet ligger lige ved Gore station og er perfekt udgangspunkt for en videre tur op på bjerget før der kommer for mange. Vi nød alle opholdet og at bo på traditionelt japansk. Personalet er menget venlige og virkeligt søde.

Onsen facilities are a bit old but clean as a whole. Dinner is very good. Service is outstanding.

Onsen, nice traditional room and good food

다음에 또 가고 싶다. 그런데 료칸은 추울 때는 안 가야겠다. 우리가 갔을 때 많이 춥고 눈도 왔다. 작은 벽걸이 에어컨 하나로 자야해서 추웠다. 낮에도 춥고 밤에도 춥다. 난 잠옷을 1겹 입었는데, 2겹 입은 가족은 안 추웠다고 함. 방바닥이 차서 실내 슬리퍼를 가져오길. 실외슬리퍼만 제공됨 직원들은 친절하시고 간단한 영어도 하심. 온천은 오래된 느낌이지만 온천 자체가 좋았음. 개인온천보다는 공용온천이 넓어서 좋았음. 방문했을 때 손님이 별로 없어서 우리가족만 공용온천을 사용했음. 복도에 자판기가 있음. 식사도 새롭고 특별했음. 우리가 빨리 먹는 편인데도 18시부터 1시간40분 정도 식사를 함. 일본에서만 맛볼 수 있는 코스 음식을 먹을 수 있어서 새로웠음. 아침식사는 기차시간 때매 7시45분에 부탁드려서 먹었음. 한상차림으로 일본식 식사가 나옴. 근데 일본식이 대부분 그렇지만 달달하고 짭짤하고 느끼하기도 해서 김치가 땡겼음. 고라역에서 터널계단 지나면 바로 보임. 뛰어서 1분 거리. 밤에는 주변이 어두워서 편의점은 미리 다녀오는게좋음.

Good.

お料理は品数も多く大変満足しました。施設面の老朽化が目立ち、また接遇面、特にフロントの説明が不十分だと感じました。お給仕の方の一生懸命さが伝わり好感が持てました。

Hot springs, dinner and breakfast at the place are excellent. Room service is excellent

Great traditional Japanese experience. Tatami rooms, futons, yukatas, amazing meals and of course private onsen. Staff was super friendly and the property is in easy walking distance to the Hakone Ropeway.

가이세키가 너무좋았고 조용해서 좋았습니다 온천도 좋았습니다

Our family (with 2 kids age 5 and 8) had a wonderful 2-night stay. The kaiseki dinner and breakfast is sensational. We loved being able to book the private onsen for a family spa. The rooms are spacious and children acommodated with their own yukatas and slightly adjusted meals. The open air museum is a short walk away and great coffee at coffee swamp around the corner.

We had such an amazing stay at the Gorakan. We were blown away by the food and the service, especially the delicious multi-course dinner. Highly recommend!

Good service, nice Japanese food, great location ,three min on foot from station.

Amazing, old ryokan very close to Gora Station. Nice and welcoming staff. It was my first time at ryokan, and what an experience! I enjoyed the private onsen with a view over the mountains. There was rain and thunder, which made it very dramatic, and in the end there was a rainbow. The room was spacious, had basic amenities. Green tea, which was switched to a fresh pot after dinner and breakfast, while they also made my bed and put it away again. So smooth. The food was overwhelming in both quantities and quality. Beautiful meat, fish, shellfish, garnish and tofu. The attention to detail was incredible. They had even printed a menu in my mother tongue! I only stayed for one night, but had I known what a special place it is, I would have planned one more night.

Fantastic and friendly service with amazing, meticulously crafted meals. Thank you!
