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

The rooms were amazing. The staff was super understanding and attentive. Loved the experience at this place. We wish we stayed longer than a day

The staff were amazing. Very friendly and caring to each guest with detail and smile.

Un Riokan muy peculiar, cómodo y muy atentos todos. Nos proporcionaron los kimonos para vivir una experiencia muy japonesa. Muy rica la comia y es un hotel cerca del museo al aire libre.

It was very relaxing stay

建築物、雰囲気、お料理、スタッフの対応、全てが素晴らしい。このまま後世まで残してほしい。

Super séjour dans ce Ryokan, un voyage dans le temps. Le repas était parfait et correspondait à nos attentes, très bon, varié. Le service était excellent, la personne (malheureusement j'ai oublié son prénom) était plus qu'au top, un excellent Anglais, très sympathique. Tout le personnel était au top, on aurait du rester une nuit de plus. Le lieu par contre nécessite un peu plus d'entretien mais c'est propre. Bref, si un voyage dans le japon d'antant vous intéresse, il faut y aller. Par contre Hakoné, bof, trop touristique, un parcours trop fléché sans voiture.

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.

The staff was wonderful, however the property is run down. The indoor onsen wasn’t inviting .

An authentic experience of a life time

A short walk from the train station. Property was clean and maintained so well! Staff were so helpful and so friendly. Stayed in the Yuri room with the private on

Amazing experience, loved every second of our stay here. Loved the staff!!!

Nice

Häftig upplevelse, fin trädgård och omgivningar. Underbar utomhus-onsen. Spännande att testa Kaiseki- middag även om vissa rätter hade ovana smaker för oss. Mycket trevlig och hjälpsam personal.

Really interesting food and the baths were lovely
