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.

The staff were excellent. They were attentive, showed us around the property, explained what to expect during our stay, and were incredibly helpful with our luggage delivery. The dinner and breakfast were fantastic and the separated dining rooms gave a high-class touch. Our room was spacious, clean, and had access to our wonderful private hot spring bath. The hotel is near the Tozan ropeway, which goes directly to the Tozan train that gives access to the Hakone-Yumoto Station. I would absolutely stay here again.

This place was amazing! I'd go back if only for the smells inside! I've stayed at Yama No Chaya in the Hakone region as well, and Gora Hanougi was better in every way. The location is more remote, but that also comes with no road noises. There's also a nice elevator just for the hotel in the parking lot of Sounzan Station that makes it really easy to get to, though they also have a nice van to take you to/from Gora Station as well.
