Fantastic service

Lovely place! We’ve been traveling around Japan and wanted to spend one night at a traditional ryokan. This place is amazing—the service is outstanding, and the staff truly go out of their way to provide the best experience possible. Highly recommend if you're looking for a classic ryokan.

Great combination of traditional with contemporary features, albeit not perfect with either so expect rattling windows with wind, and not many electrical plugs, but just don’t expect perfection and you should be fine. Baths are not huge so i can foresee them getting crowded potentially, but our time was great. The private spa in our suite definitely was a huge plus. Food was excellent, somewhere between traditional and french.

A very special place

Gora Kansuiro is a really special place. In the heart of nature, with beautiful greenery and onsens - I felt very relaxed. The customer service is incredible and the meals are a really amazing experience. The hotel is very traditional and feels slightly old and musty but this was charming to us. It was very clean and we would definitely stay again.

I was very skeptical after reading some reviews but I am so glad we stayed. Staying Annex of the Ryokan was very much like staying in a historical museum. All the beautiful architectural details against a stunning backdrop of the surrounding gardens. Location is fantastic short walk from Gora station. A very sweet lovely lady whom served our dinner and breakfast, was very welcoming and cheerful leaving us happy with our stay.

Wonderful and beautiful ryokan surrounded by beautiful forest. Great staff with enough english ability to communicate with us. They even helped us forward our luggage to our next location! Also, incredible 8-course kaiseki dinners every night and delicious Japanese breakfasts every morning. Cannot recommend this place enough!

I ended my 2 week stay in Japan here and it was the best decision ever. The staff treated us with exceptional service. The property was spectacular. I enjoyed the garden and outdoor hot spring! I also had a private bath which I highly recommend. I also had their traditional dinner and breakfast which was amazing. I hope to be back. Thank you.

We had two nights in this classic old ryokan. It is one of the oldest in Gora with a long history, and the place exudes history and classic Japanese history. The staff was superb, and the food was fantastic. The onsens were relaxing. The ryokan has a large private forest garden and depending on the route taken can be seen in 13 mins or an hour. It was amazing. We woukd definately stay again, and what appealed to us was the classic old school nature of the place, with plenty of aged patina to the property. Despite its age it is well maintained.

The peace and tranquility were wonderful and we did not need for anything. The food is varied and filling. I will remember this trip for a long time to come. Thank you.

Loved our stay at the Gora Kansuiro and glad we picked this hotel for our time in Hakone. We were a family of 3. It's a very old hotel which added to the charm of the area, we loved this and was a welcome change from modern Western hotels. The outdoor bath was incredibly peaceful looking out across the grounds. The food was a good experience and the hotel were very accommodating in serving vegetarian options for two of us, we were all soooo full :) All of the staff were nice and made us feel very welcome, a special mention to Yuka who was amazing. I want to visit Hakone again as there is more to see and much more hiking to be done; I would definately stay here again.

Beautiful property

We loved our stay here, it was a perfect authentic experience at a well maintained, beautiful property. Yes, it is an older property, but it is very well cleaned and was exactly what we were looking for. As we weren’t used to sleeping on the floor, the first night was a little uncomfortable, but we doubled up futons the second night and it was great. The food gave us exposure to a lot of Japanese food we didn’t get to try on the rest of our trip, although it was slightly repetitive. Everything was very well cooked except the fish which was very dry. The grounds were AMAZING, so beautiful, including the outdoor onsens. The common bath seemed intimidating but really wasn’t and was tattoo friendly. The service was 10/10.

A fantastic stay at a traditional r

I stayed 2 nights at Gora Kansuiro as a solo traveler, in July and I absolutely loved my stay! The staff were very friendly and professional. I even got to practice my broken japanese with some of them. The ryoukan is very traditional, which is the charm, and entire reason i loved it so much. It might not be for you if you have bad knees or back, as sitting on tatami mats an sleeping on futons could be uncomfortable for you, just something to consider. My room «Sakura» had a view of the gardens, and a private onsen bath. I had a dip in my private onsen bath every time I got home from sightseeing, and in the evenings before going to bed, and it really rejuvenates you. Also, I was allowed in public bath with my two full tattoo sleeves, which was a refreshing change from everywhere else i have been so far! The outdoor bath is highly recommended in the late evening when it is dark outside. Both dinner and breakfast were traditional japanese cuisine. Everything was delicious, and the Wagyu was maybe the best thing I have tasted in my entire life. The gardens are absolutely stunning, and I highly recommend taking a stroll in the early morning. The placement is great, near Gora Station and the ropeway. I can not recommend this place enough, and might come back here next time i visit Hakone.

Amazing Stay!

Our stay here was unbelievable! From the moment we were greeted by a staff member in the parking lot, until we were walked out to our waiting taxi, everything was amazing! After we checked in we were given a tour of the ryokan and property. It is lovely! This ryokan gave us the authentic experience we were looking for with the tatami mat rooms, futons, yukatas and the meals. Time is taken preparing the meals and dinner and breakfast were probably the most beautiful meals we have eaten. They were also delicious! It was helpful that an English menu accompanied our dinner. All of the staff we interacted with were friendly, courteous and hospitable. In my opinion, this property undersells itself online and the descriptions do not adequately describe the whole experience. It was amazing!

This is an old ryokan located just a few hundred meters from Gora train station and you pay for authenticity and atmosphere of old Japan. Our suite was spacious and surrounded by views of woods and gardens. Staff was superb, spoke perfectly adequate English and tried to be helpful and accommodating. The multi course Kaiseki dinner as well as a typical Japanese breakfast completed the experience. We had access to a small private indoor Onsen in which we soaked more than once. Overall this was a very worthwhile stay and you can easily forgive some worn out pieces of furniture and drafty hallways (the outside temperature was barely above freezing during our stay). However, peeling wallpaper and patches of obvious, widespread black mold on bathroom walls cross the line between charming and unacceptable.

Unique experience with exceptional staff and food

One of the best stays I've had. From the instant we walked down the drive the team were there to welcome us in, get us checked in and seen to our room. The room itself was nicely laid out and seemed very traditional in set up, I enjoyed the fact the place was many years old traditional house and it was very peaceful both in stay and rest. The food both during dinner and breakfast was impecable and offered a taste of Japanese cuisine across many courses. They also have a vegan option and our server Uka was great to explain everything we were eating and had excellent service of courses. The onsens was also a nice addition, very traditional and relaxing. Some may suggested some of the features are a bit dated, however I feel you would loose the the places character and appeal if looked to modernise. We were lastly given good bye from the staff and given a taxi ride to gora train station. A great final gesture for an impecable stay.

Charming

There were four friends staying for 3 nights in Japanese style rooms and restaurant. We soon learned that sitting on rice mats for 1.5 hour dinner wasn’t suited to our old Western bones so for remaking 2 days we ate Western table and chairs and asked for additional futons for bedding. In all of this the staff were gracious and obliging at all times and went the extra mile to make us comfortable. The food was excellent and plentiful - too much food really but expertly prepared. The location was great, gardens beautiful, hot outdoor bath lovely. I have noting bad to say. However, there are 2 rooms in the inn that have toilet outside the room in hallway, one was called Take and the other I forget but they were next together. If this bothers you request to have rooms with toilet in room, not hallway, before you book . None of our 3 rooms had a shower in it, you have to use communal shower and hours are 6 to 9:30 am and then again in evening - so be aware.
