This was one of the most amazing hotel experiences I have had. The room was large and had a beautiful view with the onsen overlooking the mountains. The staff was overly attentive and was lovely to interact with. The food was divine - it was truly a work of art and also delicious. Would stay here again!

Fantastic Onsen with big bedrooms and low number of bedrooms. Great levels of service and attention to details. One must like Japanese cuisine otherwise it becomes rather difficult. The hotel is at the end of the Hakone Ropeway which makes it convenient to reach. However it is in ‘the middle of nowhere’ so not the easiest of places to travel to with luggage.

Our stay at Gora Hanaougi was absolute perfection. After five busy days in Tokyo, this was the perfect way to unwind and experience the traditional side of Japan. Every detail was thoughtfully considered — from the warm welcome to the beautifully prepared meals that felt like a true culinary journey. There was so much incredible food, and it was such a special opportunity to try everything! We were even able to enjoy a relaxing in-room massage before dinner, which made the evening feel even more luxurious. The room was stunning, the view was breathtaking, and the private onsen was pure bliss. The staff’s attention to detail and kindness made us feel so cared for throughout our stay. Truly a five-star experience — peaceful, authentic, and unforgettable.

From service to the amenities, this onsen was fabulous. They take great pride in what they offer. The room itself was spacious with relaxing view. Private onsen on the balcony is big enough for 2 people. We opted for the full board stay. The meals were detailed with traditional kaiseki preparations. Dinner and breakfast were a grand spread from hot to cold dishes. Everything was prepared with intricate details. There’s a spoon for every dish! Have a stay and enjoy the amenities.
