We were treated with great hospitality in this onsen hotel. It started from great shuttle service pick up from Gora station and the welcome tea. Our room has an amazing view of the mountain around us. The private onsen has a perfect temperature and well maintained. Their breakfast and dinner are very nicely made and always delicious. The staff are very responsive and always so courteous. We really enjoyed our time there.

Beautiful and peaceful stay. The private elevator from the ropeway station (located on far side of parking lot) was a unique way to travel to this resort. The dining was top notch - very traditional. We would stay her again in a heartbeat.

This is where you want to be if you want to experience top tier hospitality. It is the best place I have stayed at in Japan. First of all, the amenities are miles ahead of other places. A lot of hotels offer free amenities but I often don’t use them because their quality is quite bad. But this ryokan truly separates itself from the other places. The amenities are great in quality and variety. This is truly a place you can come with just a change of clothing and nothing else. There are 3 public bathes for male and 3 for female. But they are often quite empty because there are only around 20 rooms in this ryokan and each room includes their own private bath with amazing view. The rooms are traditional, spacious, and comfortable. The meals are carefully arranged for both taste and nutrition. They have a private elevator to and from Sounzan station. They also have a shuttle bus to and from Gota station. Everything about this place is great. It is one of those places where I give a max rating and it make me think hard before giving other places a similar rating. Simply tremendous place, beautiful people, and amazing atmosphere.

Idyllic mountain getaway

Our stay at Gora Hanougi was fantastic! The surroundings and accommodations were idyllic. We only wished we had more time to stay. The staff provided excellent service and the food was outstanding. It is a traditional ryokan but luxurious. Dinner and breakfast is included in your stay. This was our last stop on our honeymoon in Japan, and it was perfect!

This is a beautiful upscale ryokan. A gem. Did a lot of research and so happy to find this place. Service is impeccable. Food delicious. Rooms comfortable. Private onsen is the best as well as the view. Location to Hakone Ropeway couldn’t be any better. Take the cool elevator up from hotel and you are there. Massage is Shiatsu so if you used to regular massages you should pass. Overall, a great stay.

My husband and I had the most relaxing night at Gora Hanaougi. The staff were the most attentive and kind. The kaiseki dinner and the Japanese style breakfast were both outstanding, full of local ingredients. The onsen was obviously the highlight of the stay. The private onsen in our room was quite the experience. The room had open air onsen, so we could get fresh air, but it’s covered so even during the torrential rainfall, we could enjoy the hot bath while listening to the rain. All in all, the only regret that we have is that we could only stay for one night, and not more, as we were on a tight schedule in Japan. Thank you to all the staff at Gora Hanaougi for making our stay an exceptional experience.

I highly recommend this beautiful property with wonderful staff and service. Super convenient as this property is only a few minutes' walk from the Sounzan cable car station. Tip - Consider taking a taxi on day of departure instead of local bus as it gets extremely crowded (some folks were declined entry due to full capacity). Should you choose to take the bus, make sure you allot extra travel time as our bus ran 25 minutes late and hit a lot of traffic.
