Gora Kadan is a unique experience, from the moment we were greeted at reception to the moment of our departure. Our room was beautiful and peaceful. The hotel went out of their way to accommodate our annoying dietary restrictions (one pescatarian and one who doesn’t eat shellfish) - the food was fantastic. We had a shiatsu massage which was amazing. Breakfast was delicious. We were sorry to leave. Hope we’ll be back

We were gifted a night at Gora Kadan for our honeymoon, and it was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. From the breathtaking views and serene traditional gardens to the soothing onsen and stone baths, every detail felt magical. Delicious food and the hospitality was unforgettable—the staff came out to wave goodbye as we drove away, and I actually shed a tear leaving such a special place. While the property could use a light refresh, its timeless charm and deep sense of tradition made it one of the most memorable experiences of my life. If I ever return to Japan, I will absolutely make it a point to stay here again.

Hakone stay

The hotel is tired. There was no early check in and really nothing much to do at the hotel while we waited for our room. The rooms are nice in size and very clean and service was amazing. Food was ok and there was just a smell like wet cat food that we couldn’t shake. It was our last stop in a 14 day journey and we were hoping for more with the price tag is all.

There’s no doubt this is an excellent hotel. But the question is whether it’s excellent enough to justify its price. Not quite was our conclusion. Service was absolutely sensational and the overall feel of the hotel is absolutely wonderful as an authentic Ryokan experience. But there is just a bit of wear and tear in the rooms and the onsen area isn’t all that impressive for a hotel of this caliber. Little things like a broken espresso machine (meaning none available in the hotel)

Our overall experience at Gora Kadan was wonderful and came very close to a perfect 5/5. The cleanliness of the facilities, thoughtfully curated amenities, stunning views, and the warmth and professionalism of the staff reflected a high level of care and intention. It was clear that great thought had gone into nearly every part of the experience. The only reason this fell short of a perfect score was the attention to detail during meal service. While the food itself was outstanding and among the best we had on our trip, both dinner and breakfast lacked sufficient explanation, with breakfast being noticeably worse. We had mentioned that this was our first time experiencing a traditional Japanese meal like this, so we had no prior knowledge going in. Despite this, little time was spent explaining what the dishes were, their significance, or how they were traditionally eaten. Many breakfast items were unfamiliar, leaving us guessing or searching online for clarity. This was disappointing given the care evident elsewhere at Gora Kadan. Learning later that our friends received detailed explanations from their servers made our experience feel subpar by comparison. Had it not been for the stark contrast in service we received compared to our friends, this wouldve been a flawless once in a life time experience. With more consistency with meal service, this exceptional place would easily reach perfection - unfortunately not the case for us.
