Our family (with 2 kids age 5 and 8) had a wonderful 2-night stay. The kaiseki dinner and breakfast is sensational. We loved being able to book the private onsen for a family spa. The rooms are spacious and children acommodated with their own yukatas and slightly adjusted meals. The open air museum is a short walk away and great coffee at coffee swamp around the corner.

Amazing Ryokan!

The service was absolutely amazing. Everything from the room to the lobby to the baths was excellently curated and full of that traditional charm. Our hostess was always ready to provide us with anything we needed and the food was probably the best we’d had during our two week trip! I will definitely be recommending this to my friends, family and anyone else that wants to visit Hakone!

I had a nice ryokan experience here. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The included meals were impressive. The only thing I would have wished for was for more guidance from the staff regarding the proper way to stay at a ryokan, although I found some guidance cards in my room. It may have just been a language barrier as I don't speak Japanese and they didn't speak much English.

Staying at Gorakan was an unforgettable experience. We are very grateful to the hosts for accommodating a "no fish" kaiseki request for one of us. The entire menu was reinvented and all flavors rebalanced with that in mind. We were very touched by the individual attention we received. This ryokan is perfectly located within a walking distance from the station which makes it super convenient, and the onsens are very relaxing, quiet and clean. Thanks again for hosting us.
