Gora Kadan

Gora Kadan Hakone is a perennial traditional Japanese inn that can be located on the mountains of Hakone. In the present day, it is part of the Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park.

Its past served as a weekend cottage, both owned and a favorite of the Kaninnomiya Family in a village named Gora, which sits in the Kanagawa Prefecture. During the 1950s, Gora Kadan was introduced as an inn and as time passed, has evolved its design from classic Japanese genre to added sprinkles of modern elements.

Gora Kadan Hakone features private open-air baths included in its suites that enhance the traditional design of Japanese gardens. The inn prides itself on its standard rooms that possess rustic indoor baths coming from hot-spring wells paired with a mini garden.

Each of its rooms has its own class with distinct features of elements. The classic ryokan sticks with tatami-mat flooring, known as woven straw. Gora Kadan Hakone adds components like sliding paper doors which gives the traditional feel of Japan’s classic cultural vibe.

The inn highlights its communal bath with its waters drawn from Hakone’s natural source, giving benefits both to one’s health and skin.
What if the guest prefers to take a dive for a cool and refreshing feeling? The facilities of the ryokan are also diverse and flexible for a traveler’s needs. The guest can still relax by taking a dip in the pool and then head on for a massage.

After relaxation, visitors are welcome to try the traditional ryokan breakfast. It is known to make one’s appetite full, which gives strength and prepares the guest to explore more activities.
