This was our third time staying at Hakone Gora KARAKU, and it’s still one of our favorite places in Hakone. The location is super convenient—just a short walk from Gora Station. We booked a room with a semi-open private onsen tub, which my wife really enjoyed. I spent more time in the public baths with sauna and steam (they switch each night). It was never crowded, so it felt peaceful and relaxing. The lounge was fine—coffee was delicious, but snacks were pretty limited. Our stay included Japanese-style breakfast and kaiseki dinner both nights. The food was absolutely delicious, beautifully plated, and served at a nice, relaxed pace. The staff were friendly, professional, and helpful—exactly what you’d expect from great Japanese hospitality. We keep coming back because the mix of comfort, great food, relaxing baths, and welcoming service is hard to beat. Already looking forward to the next trip!

We are still on our family 5 star trip through Japan. We just stayed at Gora Karaku. I chose this hotel because of the rave reviews it got on Expedia. Here are my comments. 1) The hotel is conveniently located just 300 ft from the main Gora railroad station. This is a PLUS! 2) when we checked in (early afternoon), we asked if we could book 4 massages. At first, the answer was they could accommodate just one. Note: our stay was for 2 nights They finally were able to accommodate 3 massages , after a lot of discussion and follow-up. 3) I thought we booked western style breakfast and dinner. They had us booked with Japanese style breakfast and dinner. We requested to have us moved to western style dinner. They were able to move us to western style breakfast, but only western style dinner on the 2nd night. 3 of us don’t eat raw fish. We were not able to eat a thing for dinner on night 1. The second night was teppanyaki style. It was good. We were not told that there was an upcharge for this. Upon checkout, the hotel charged us 11000x2=22000 yen (almost $200) for the one western style meal. When I questioned it, they claimed that I booked Japanese style dinners. That is not true.The difference in price for dinners through Expedia was not different. 4) The rooms were both nice, with private onsens. However the bathrooms are teeny tiny. If you want spacious bathrooms, this property is not for you. The breakfast was not edible. This hotel is NOT reccommended! Very disappointed!

The Orix hotel is farther away from the main Hakone shopping area, however it's walking distance to/from the Gora station so it's easy to get to. The property is perfect for quiet get away and to enjoy a private onsen. Absolutely love the experience and staffs are all very friendly, helpful and polite.

The property was nice and clean. The staff for the most part had great service. What I don't know is that there were no buffets or menus. You had to eat whatever they gave you. It was very difficult to eat there. Most of the food we didn't like. We paid a lot money and didn't eat. The Onsens were meh. Nothing special. The absolute worst thing that happened to us there was when we went to the private Insen there,there was two small smoothies in bottles that we were able to drink. Later when we asked for more, they said no. We weren't eating anything and at least wanted a smoothie but would not let us have more and we couldn't even buy more. They had a small lounge where you could drink alcohol for free but we couldn't get a bottled smoothie. That was ridiculous. No room service. No food we could request to eat. So disappointing and definitely not with the money.

The property is new and tastefully done in every way. Breakfast and dinner both wonderful. The in-room Onsen was great. The outdoor onsens are clean, large and wonderful.

If you want to treat yourself and stay in one of the best properties and locations in Gora (Hakone), book some time at KARAKU. The rooms, private and guest onsen, amenities, dining, staff, and overall experience was a highlight of our trip. This is a truly special ryokan, and caters perfectly to visitors from all over the globe.
