Our ryokan stay was a highlight of our once-in-a-lifetime visit to Japan. The whole property was gorgeous and elegant and the staff were exceptionally friendly, even coming to pick us up after a sightseeing excursion. The onsens, both private and public/outdoor, were amazing and the multi-course dinner and breakfast were outstanding. Highly recommend this stay for a rewarding, authentically Japanese experience.

Absolutely beautiful hotel giving a wonderful ryokan experience with hot springs. The natural scenery is beautiful making you forget you are conveniently less than 5 minutes away from the station. The hotel provides a fancy 10-course meal inspired by traditional Japanese cooking and a similar approach for breakfast. We had a room with a private onsen which was lovely and relaxing but also took a moment to enjoy the shared indoor and outdoor onsens, which are fairly small but also beautiful. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful and able to converse with us in English which was convenient for us.

Incredibly attentive staff and a beautiful location. It feels like a hidden gem, and like you were transported into another world. It was such a stark contrast from Tokyo and was a real breath of fresh air. The food was excellent, the room was incredibly comfortable, and the outdoor hot spring was just delightful. This is also one of the few ryokans that is tattoo friendly, which was a big place for us.

4/10 Poor

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The staff serving dinner were absolutely lovely—warm, kind and attentive—and the food was excellent. Unfortunately, the overall ryokan experience fell short of our expectations, particularly given the price of approximately USD 1,000 per night. The villa was not particularly clean, with visible stains on the floors and dirty sinks. The onsen facilities were also disappointing. The outdoor bath was lovely and appeared well maintained, but the other public bath was in a condition that made it quite unappealing to use. The setting itself is absolutely gorgeous, surrounded by beautiful gardens and greenery, and the property has enormous potential. However, it is clear that the facilities are not being maintained to the standard one would reasonably expect at this price point. We also found the reception staff less attentive and helpful than we would have hoped. For example, despite explicitly asking not to be booked in for breakfast, this request was seemingly forgotten, and we were woken up by a phone call at 8:30 a.m. asking us to come for breakfast. Overall, while we genuinely enjoyed the food, the dinner service and the beautiful surroundings, the accommodation, cleanliness and general level of service were disappointing. At USD 1,000 per night, we expected a much more polished and comfortable experience. It’s a shame, as the property has so much charm and potential, but it needs considerably more care and attention to justify its pricing.

This is an elegant and family oriented place. Everyone is so professional and attentive. The vibe is kind and relaxed. The food is delicious and the amenities are incredible. This Ryokan is beautiful. I suggest you get the big room with its own Onsen. It’s totally worth it. And if you have tattoos they are totally fine with it. Excellent experience.

Staying here is an extraordinary experience, stepping back in time to a ryokan as it was in the 1950s (and almost as it was in 1920). The hospitality is exceptional, the staff attentive and capable, and the room spacious and evocative of an earlier era. Visitors must realize that this means very little in modern conveniences: some rooms don’t have showers and all the rooms are Japanese style with tatami floors and futon beds (set out during dinner and removed during breakfast). There are many stairs, no elevator, and the outdoor shared baths are quite a walk through the (marvelous) garden. The meals are extravagant but totally Japanese. It is an experience not to be missed, but you need to know what you are getting. (The Imperial family apparently stayed here in 1955, the first time the Emperor had ever stayed outside the royal compound.) There many wonderful indoor and outdoor museums around the area, and several fantastic gardens.

A very special place

Gora Kansuiro is a really special place. In the heart of nature, with beautiful greenery and onsens - I felt very relaxed. The customer service is incredible and the meals are a really amazing experience. The hotel is very traditional and feels slightly old and musty but this was charming to us. It was very clean and we would definitely stay again.

I was very skeptical after reading some reviews but I am so glad we stayed. Staying Annex of the Ryokan was very much like staying in a historical museum. All the beautiful architectural details against a stunning backdrop of the surrounding gardens. Location is fantastic short walk from Gora station.

Great combination of traditional with contemporary features, albeit not perfect with either so expect rattling windows with wind, and not many electrical plugs, but just don’t expect perfection and you should be fine. Baths are not huge so i can foresee them getting crowded potentially, but our time was great. The private spa in our suite definitely was a huge plus. Food was excellent, somewhere between traditional and french.
