Amazing Ryokan!
The service was absolutely amazing. Everything from the room to the lobby to the baths was excellently curated and full of that traditional charm. Our hostess was always ready to provide us with anything we needed and the food was probably the best we’d had during our two week trip! I will definitely be recommending this to my friends, family and anyone else that wants to visit Hakone!

We really felt like it was a real home stay rather than hotel. Owner and the host is very nice, speaks English and pleasant to be around. Yes, this ryokan has seen a lot of guests, but everything is super clean and tidy, everything they do seems so timely and effortless, although we can see how much effort was put into every little detail , from tea choices, to changing into the sleeping beds and amazing food! Food deserves a special mention- tasty, beautiful and nutritious- and so much verity that hit all senses! Both breakfast and dinner were a culinary delight with amazing presentation! We also got an extra menu printed in the language of my birth country- as a special touch! We reserved a private onsen for 9:30, which was a perfect timing and it gave us an opportunity to wonder the streets after dinner. Location is also great- steps from Gora station. Thank you so much- we loved it and will be back!

Great stay at authentic ryoken. Staff was friendly with some English speaking staff. Property abit dated but otherwise well mainteined, room was large with own toilet but only common bath in the Onsen. Private Onsen was good water comfortable but not as hot as I expected. Kesike dinner and breakfast was amazing and best in class, really enjoyed the beef, crab and sashimi served at dinner. Location good near train station but only route to ryoken will require climbing stairs down underpass (take note for large luggages) also many stairs in ryoken no lift. Overall enjoyable authentic stay for 1 night

I had a nice ryokan experience here. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The included meals were impressive. The only thing I would have wished for was for more guidance from the staff regarding the proper way to stay at a ryokan, although I found some guidance cards in my room. It may have just been a language barrier as I don't speak Japanese and they didn't speak much English.

Staying at Gorakan was an unforgettable experience. We are very grateful to the hosts for accommodating a "no fish" kaiseki request for one of us. The entire menu was reinvented and all flavors rebalanced with that in mind. We were very touched by the individual attention we received. This ryokan is perfectly located within a walking distance from the station which makes it super convenient, and the onsens are very relaxing, quiet and clean. Thanks again for hosting us.

This property is owned by an older couple who is very nice and humble. It was really close to the gora station (2 min walk). Please look for underpass at gora station to get to the hotel quickly. The underpass is very easy to find. They hold your luggage starting at 10 am. The Kaiseki dinner and breakfast was very good. We ate so much we could not finish the entire 9 course dinner. Dinner consist of appetizer, soup, a5 grilled wagyu, tempura, fruit dessert and many other dishes. The beds on the floor was surprisingly comfortable. The best part of the stay was the private onsens. We were able to reserve private Onsen time at checkin. We got it for 40 min in the evening after dinner. Next morning we went again but it was very busy. The private Onsen was very relaxing, not too hot but perfect temperature, and can fit 2-4 people.
