【Hakone Gora Kadan】A Fitness-Friendly Japanese Heritage Hotel

If traveling with children, you might want to skip this hotel as it offers limited dining options for kids. Excluding family trips, I'd like to highlight the hotel's gym and garden-style pool facilities—don't forget to bring your swimwear (or purchase some at the hotel if needed). The pool operates from 8 AM to 6 PM.

Though decorated in a traditional Japanese style, the hotel exudes an elegant grandeur, with stunning interior scenery that often surprises guests. If your budget allows, opt for a room with a private open-air bath—the landscaping is meticulously designed, but be mindful of mosquitoes.

A highlight is the 40-minute complimentary private bath with steam sauna and natural hot spring flow (reservations via email are recommended; specify your exact preferred time slot).

The hotel offers meal plans at different price points—simply choose your preferred option when booking.

Just a 3-minute walk from Gora Station, though the value-for-money ratio isn't the highest.
