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. ##### Christina Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paul 16 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Fun thing to try 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. ##### Paul Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Leonel 6 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The property met our expectations, food and service was amazing, although the staff’s English is limited, they try to understand as possible.

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. ##### Alice Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### oliver 27 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 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! ##### oliver Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alphonso 1 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Alphonso ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ellen 25 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Ellen Stayed 1 night in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joshua 24 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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 ##### Joshua ### 10/10 Excellent #### Svetlana 29 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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! ##### Svetlana Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Salina 15 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Beautiful old ryokan close to Gora 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. ##### Salina Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Yuchen 20 Dec 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 2 parking lot upfront, this hotel locates right outside the gora station.
