Exceptional experience for a special occasion
We had an amazing time here. It's something we're not going to forget. The staff really roll out the red carpet for you the entire time, and their dedication and efficiency is impressive. The room was lovely, with a suit of high-quality ammeneties. The dinner and breakfast courses were huge. Multi-stage set meal that were varied but incredibly delicious. I wouldn't recommend this if you are a fussy eater, as though there are some safe options, most of it is quite different for a western pallet. Your stay here will be relatively regimented, so if you wanted to explore everything Hakone has to offer, it may not be for you. That being said, the location is right next to the cablecar station, so after checkout you can easily get to the top of Hakone mountain and do some day exploration. My partner is a vegetarian, which they did warn us they couldn't accommodate. We managed to workaround it by swapping certain dishes and items (and my partner being more flexible with their vegetarianism), but this did require a lot of trying to identify what certain things were (they supplied a menu, but it wasn't always clear what was infront of you). This is my only critique, everything else was an incredible experience. One I would recommend if you have the extra money and want to make a stay in beautiful Hakone that much more special.

Wonderful stay - highly recommend
Our stay at Gora Hanougi was wonderful - the staff went above and beyond to look after us and we had the most delicious and beautifully-presented evening meal and breakfast. The traditional Japanese beds were comfortable and it was amazing to have a private onsen in our room with a view of the mountains. Definitely a highlight of our trip to Japan and probably the nicest place we've ever stayed - wouldn't hesitate to recommend staying here!

Fantastic place
Fantastic experience. Felt luxurious. The staff made us feel like royalty for 2 nights. The private onsen in our room was amazing. We also ordered some massages that probably were the best we ever had. The food is great. The dinner and breakfast are done in a great atmosphere in a private room. The food is delicious, but I will note that it can be considered “adventurous“ at times for western taste buds. But that’s OK because there’s enough variety if something is not to your liking. One important thing to note: It’s not a good place to go if you’re vegetarian- because they will not serve you. Go there only if you eat fish / seafood.

Great In-room Onsen and Truly Exceptional Meals
This hotel was built several years earlier than its nearby ten-year old sister hotel, Gora Hanaougi Madoka No Mori. While I was paying nearly identical room rates at both hotels, the size of my room at Gora Hanaougi was only about half of my room at the newer hotel. Also, unlike the sister hotel, the bathroom in my room here was not connected to the shower room nor the outdoor onsen balcony. However, our room had a great view of the hills. The staffs here were attentive, warm and helpful. Similar to its sister hotel, this hotel also provides free pickup and drop-off at local attractions and Gora Station on demand, which was great because the roads to and from the hotel are hilly. I view the high points of my stay at this hotel were its dinner and breakfast, which were truly exceptional in terms of creativity, presentation, ingredient selections, tastes, and services. Bravo!

Joshua-San and Minami-San, thank you so much for taking such good care of my family during our one-night stay at Gora Hanaougi! As many mentioned, the hotel along with its surrounding is a dreamland on earth with its serenity and natural beauty. But with your warmth and hospitality, you gave the place the personal touch that makes it stand out. A special thank-you to Joshua-San for enabling my daughter to enjoy this life time experience to its fullness. With her severe food allergie to fish and nuts, I felt apprehensive since the first day I booked our stay months ago. I had bombarded you with numerous inquiries, but you answered each one of them with great patience and detail. Language could have been an unfortunate barrier in this place full of Japanese tradition, but with you acting as the bridge, we were able to enjoy the place with ease and confidence. Thank you!

Gora Hanaougi exceeded my greatest expectations. The staff was accommodating and kind. We missed the luggage delivery time at the train station so we brought our bags to the ryokan. Not knowing, we walked up the road from the cable car stop. On leaving, the staff guided us to the private elevator to the cable car stop--super cool. The meals were incredible, though so much food. The onsen was very lovely and the baths in the rooms had an incredible view. I can't imagine a more beautiful view to go with a soak. Overall, the experience was very relaxing and rejuvenating. Highly recommend.

My wife and I stayed here for our honeymoon and it was without a doubt one of the highlights of our trip. The staff was wonderfull from the shuttle pick up to the welcoming at the entrance of the ryokan to the day we left. We ran into some trouble with our luggage transportation service with another company and they went out of their way to call the transportation company to help us out. We are so grateful for their help. Our room was beautiful and clean. The bed was comfortable and the amenities were great. The private onsen was truly an amazing experience. The thermal water was so hot, but the bath was equipped with a system to add cold water to cool down the temperature. The public bath was great as well. The included dinner and breakfast was delicious. The whole dining experience was so unique and very pleasant. I wish I remember the name of each person that helped us during our stay so I could mention them, but all the staff without exception was amazing. We will definitely come back again!!

Incredible Experience
Far from the craziness (in a good way) of Shibuya, this incredible experience was a welcome respite. The staff could not have been more gracious or welcoming, particularly Joshua who definitely had his hands full trying to help us with our luggage and general lack of planning. The dinner and breakfast were exquisitely prepared and presented. Sadly, I don’t like seafood much so it was a challenge. If you have a more sophisticated palate and like seafood and sashimi you will be in heaven. One last thing, so you don’t make a fool of yourself, the brown slippers are meant ONLY for the restroom. Wear socks everywhere else in the building. Our room was a terrace view with onsen bath and that was heavenly. Particularly with coffee before the breakfast. Overall, a great stay and uniquely Japanese experience.
