We had a lovely stay at this ryokan! It was my birthday and the staff were so sweet, upgrading us and decorating our room. The traditional room was comfy and a really fun experience. We had the traditional breakfast, too, which was hit or miss for us (I had fun trying all the different little options, but my boyfriend isn't the biggest fish fan and most all of the food was either fish or fish-y). It was great for doing the Freepass Loop, since you could get off at the end of the funicular, and then continue on and see the Open Air Museum the next morning on your way back to the train station. The highlight, as many reviewers already mentioned, are the private onsens <3 They're worth every penny for the hour you can reserve in each of them. They have three: an indoor onsen with a sauna, an indoor/outdoor onsen, and an outdoor onsen that looks like a mermaid grotto. The water is perfect, full of the sulfur that's great for your skin. Pro tip: The hotel is FAR (and UPHILL) from the Gora "city center" (if you can call it that, haha) and there is NO food available at the hotel unless you booked in advance with your reservation. But there is a restaurant up near the hotel, quite close (definitely walkable), that has AWESOME food. It's a mom and pop place decorated with vintage Americana and playing old American music. It's a total vibe, and the food is excellent and reasonably priced. The name is in Japanese, but the address is 1320-695 Gora, Hakone :) (see photos)

Beautiful, small property up a hill from the train station (Gora). Great staff, able to communicate effectively, efficient and helpful. We dropped our bags off (left them inside with a note, no staff for early arrival) and checked out Gora. They did forget that some of our party was requesting vegan meals but they tried best to accommodate us on the fly. Private onsens that you reserve by the hour. Great onsen facilities- use the indoor/outdoor one for the best experience in our opinion! We are a family of four that was comfortable in our birthday suits, you may want to reserve separately for male/female family members as bathing suits are not appropriate in onsens.

We had such a nice stay here: staff were friendly and helpful, and having the option to book the onsen for private use in the morning and evening was awesome. Because there were enough slots, they also let us book the evening onsen twice. The onsen was hands down the best part of the stay and was really peaceful in the rain. Breakfast and dinner were wonderful as well, with generous portions. Definitely take the cable car from Gora station and get off at Koen-Kami for an easier walk! I saw some reviews mentioning the noise from other rooms: for me, it was easier to hear hallway noise, but I don't feel like it's worse than any Holiday Inn.

Staff was really helpful and nice! The room was comfortable and spacious enough for the group of 5 we had. The onsens were well maintained and clean. It was easy to book and change our onsen time bookings to fit our schedules. I also enjoyed that they had lotions and toiletries at the onsen rooms. There was neftlix and eng TV options in the rooms. They had snack options to purchase (seeing as many of the stores close as of 5 / 6 pm and no convenience stores nearby it was really helpful).

I really liked the traditional Japanese rooms and the private onsens. We tried all three of them! We also had a great experience with the dinner in the night and breakfast in the morning. It was quite different from what I have eaten before, so it was a nice new expierience. To come here you need to take the train from Hakone to Gora and then the ropeway two stations uphill. From there its a 5-10 min walk. If you have lots of luggage, maybe take a taxi from Gora would be easier.
