Gora Hanaougi

家族で宿泊しました。1歳の子供がいたのですが、子供用の小さな浴衣まで用意して頂き嬉しかったです^_^ 部屋はとても素敵でテラスからの眺めが最高でした。 客室露天風呂も気持ちよかったです。 小さな子供への配慮やスタッフの方の接客が素晴らしくて是非また伺いたいです。

Great room, view, food, and service Our stay at this hotel was remarkable. Everyone is super friendly. The 10 course dinner and breakfast were on par with some of Michelin star ones we had in Japan. You are treated very well, even better than the 5 star ones we stayed at Kyoto and Tokyo. Highly recommend it!

Very good premises with a refined and traditional high end touch. Location is excellent with a private elevator to the ropeway. Service is nothing but great and really efficient. My only two points were there needs to be progress: -there is a clear inconsistence in the level/quality of the food served at dinner depending on the days. While our second dinner was really good our first one was disappointing for this level of establishment. Some of the sushi seemed pale and not fresh and some fishes were simply without taste (frozen). Service was great anyway which offset the lack of taste of the first day. -there is an obvious issue with sewer odors in our room (just at the entrance), it is not constant but it is very strong in late afternoons. Overall we were happy with the stay and the excellent service from the staff; but the hotel management must have better consistency in the food quality every day. Additionally the odors issue must be fixed urgently in room 201.

Gora Hanaougi was one of our first stays in a two-week trip to Japan. We spent one night there, enjoying the onsen as well as meticulously prepared meals for dinner and breakfast. Later in the trip we had equally as elaborate and even more tasty meals in other locations, however the sense of courtesy and service at Gora Hanaougi was unique. If you are looking for a peaceful stay we recommend this ryokan, if it is in your budget.

Wow, this place certainly exceeded our expectations! We stayed for a single night in early March and immediately after check-in wished we had done two. The property is nestled up a hill and our room had a great view of the valley and surrounding neighborhood. The public onsen is gorgeous (we happened to be there during a snowy period) and never had more than a couple people. It was nice to be outside and surrounded by trees though the indoor pool was also very nice. The actual room was huge and included just about any amenity you might need (shoe dryer, humidifier, very nice skin and hair products, Nespresso, etc.). The food situation was what really set this place apart. The multi course dinner was amazingly prepared and included a bit of everything. I was a bit worried as I'm not big on fish but this place prepared it perfectly (it's also VERY fresh). Both meals (dinner and breakfast) are served by your host (who also checks you in and out) and so you really get to know them. Our host (J-A) was wonderful and really made the overall stay that much better! I definitely recommend staying here if you're able to make a night in the Hakone area! The location is perfect for sightseeing before you check-in and after you check-out (you definitely won't want to leave in between!) as it's right near the Sounzan station (they have a private elevator just a short walk away) or they'll pick you up from the Gora station.

As you enter the warmly scented wood fragrance, warm floors, you are transported into total relaxation. This place makes the Ritz Carlton look subpar if you can believe that. The attention to detail is mind-boggling. Just one example, our Japanese wear that is provided to wear around the property was perfectly sized for us without them even asking our size. We could only think they used our passport information or someone is great at eyeballing for the perfect size. The food was on a whole different level. The pattern on the dishes matched the food and each course was another art piece. It was a work of intricate art only with food. 10 courses will blow you away both in taste and presentation. The breakfast was delicious and we ate every bite. We had one woman who took care of us our entire one-night stay. She was so polite. Even though looked like the Ryokan was sold out for the night, we only saw one couple as we were checking in. Other than that time, it was total zen. The private bath overlooking the mountain was picturesque. It even snowed in the morning which was so beautiful. In the end, it was hard to leave. It was the highlight of our trip to Japan. We will certainly return.

I had a wonderful stay at Gora Hanaougi. It's set in a beautiful, private location in the mountains. The staff was extremely welcoming and kind. The private onsen in the room overlooking the mountains was incredible and the meals were delicious. I definitely recommend staying here if you're looking for a peaceful, relaxing escape!

Impeccable service, beautiful and well-kept space. The dinner was incredible. We have nothing but good things to say about our stay.

Wonderful, ***personalized*** hospitality begins right when you step out of their Gora station shuttle. Excellent multi course dinner and breakfast. Lower floors have a large patio space with a private onsen. Plan on checking in at 3pm to really enjoy a full experience.
