Sushi Auberge Gorasaryo

Amazing stay, very traditional experience. Rooms are clean. The included meals are amazing! The hotel has limited capacity, so the personal attention for each guest is very nice. There are also private onsen hot tubs which you can reserve for 50 minute each time. It’s really good!

This ryokan is a true gem in Gora! We were looking for an authentic Japanese style inn and this did not disappoint! We came into the experience blind with almost no idea what to expect. The host was very gracious and kindly explained how to use the yukatas, baths, and slippers. This was a great way to immerse ourselves in the culture. The rooms are very traditional. There is a small table and chairs in the center with foldable futons in the closet. The floors are bamboo. The bathroom consists of a toilet and a vanity, the showers are separate and public for all guests. In the mornings, the showers and onsen are public with one for men and one for women. In the evenings, your party can reserve a 50min time slot to bathe privately. We stayed 2 nights and had dinner and breakfast both days. The meals were incredible! The first night was a multi-course meal featuring A5 wagyu beef. The second night was a 15+ course omakase sushi meal. Breakfasts were bento boxes with rice, miso soup, and fish. The food was plentiful! This was a prime location for visiting Gora and the surrounding area. It was a 20min downhill walk to Gora Station. Or a quick 6 min walk from the cable car. Very close proximity to the Hakone Ropeway and easy to get around. This ryokan was perfect for our stay. After busy days, it was amazing to come back and enjoy the onsen then dinner in the restaurant. This was a highlight of our trip!

Incredible stay I had an incredible stay at Gora Soryu hotel in Hakone! The facilities were absolutely beautiful, and the accommodations were incredibly comfortable. The highlight of our visit was the relaxing private onsen, which provided a serene and rejuvenating experience. The authentic cuisine at the hotel was a gastronomic delight. Every meal was a journey through the flavors of Japan, and it left us craving for more. The attention to detail and the use of fresh ingredients truly impressed us. Moreover, the manager, Ryo Ueno, went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. He was exceptionally helpful and hospitable, assisting us with everything we needed. He even helped us with arrangements to get to our next destination, which was greatly appreciated. I can’t recommend Gora Soryu hotel enough. If you’re looking for a luxurious and authentic experience in Hakone, this is the place to be. We left with wonderful memories and a desire to return in the future.
