    Exceptional service. Wonderful experience of a ryokan with traditional and Western fare. Stayed in the annex which is a detached traditional bungalow away from the main building. Really enjoyed the solitude and private onsen. Excellent proximity to spectacular views of Mt Fuji.

    That we couldn't stay longer!

    What an incredible and memorable experience for our family. The Ryokan is situated on the side of the hill, with lovely views of the surrounding area. The building, especially the hallway to the baths, is stunning. The staff were warm, welcoming and very helpful. Our room was better than we imagined and we loved having our own bath, as well as the sitting area that looked out to the garden and hills. The meals were excellent and we will never forget our 2 hour, 9 course dinner. Our boys are 15 and 17 and ate everything they were served. Our youngest checked the menu and declared he tried 36 things he had never eaten before. We also enjoyed the public baths and the salon, where we all made use of the massage chairs.

    While Gora Kadan is quite pricy, I'd say it's worth it for the beauty and service.

    Our room was wonderful, the private onsen was so relaxing. Breakfast was amazing, one of the best we had during our whole trip in Japan. The service was above and beyond, suggesting and driving us to activities in the rain before check in time. Plus dinner and breakfast service was exceptional and a really special experience overall. We also had the pool to ourselves in the morning and were able to swim laps before breakfast.

    Dinner included in half-board is also traditional Japanese, it’s not a bad thing of course, but to me because Im picky in food I didn’t like much of the dishes. I would have preferred if you get the chance to chose between western or Japanese style food, but again they want to give the guest to maximum Japanese way in living. One thing to add, dinner is served as a set menu and takes more than an hour to reach the dessert. If time can be shortened would be better, because some guest might want to have more time in exploring other things at the hotel, or just be in peace. All in all, these 2 mentioned are just minor things.

    The best Traditional Japanese experience in all aspects. So peaceful and calm. Close to Gora station and cable train.

    One of the nicest hotel experiences I’ve ever had and I have traveled extensively. The grounds and architecture are extremely relaxing. The rooms are beautiful and ours overlooked a wonderful Japanese garden. Our room assistant was extremely sweet and served us a delicious dinner and breakfast in our room. The topper is the private onsen. I wish we could have stayed a second night

    Amazing experience. Extremely well kept and beautifully designed. The hotel is set against a cliff and beautiful. Lovely modernist architecture, with lots of wood, and creative use of glass and open space. Staff was amazing. Dinner and breakfast served in your room. We booked a suite (Fuji) and it was really nice., immaculate, very well maintained, an incredibly restful space. The private onsen with garden was serene and gorgeous. There was also an amazing public bath. Service was thoughtful and kind. On check out, when the staff found out we were headed to the hakone open air museum, they offered a ride there. Then they picked us up after 2 hours from the museum with our bags, and dropped us at gora station!! I hope to go back some day.
