Luxury Holidays At Gora Kadan

A member of the prestigious Relais & Chateaux group, Gora Kadan is a charming ryokan that blends traditional Japanese charm with modern conveniences and amenities. Originally founded as a summer villa in 1930 for Imperial Prince Kaninnomiya Kotohito, the property is steeped in history, while the local volcanic activity provides fascinating natural onsen (Japanese hot spring baths), perfect for bathing after a day of exploration.
The restaurant, Kaiseki Kadan, serves authentic and delicious Japanese cuisine with a focus both on taste and creative presentation. The Gora Spa offers a range of locally-inspired treatments, while an indoor pool, Jacuzzi and fitness facilities continue the sense of rejuvenation and wellness. Nestled within Hakone National Park, the guest rooms overlook stunning mountain views, all while the cultural attractions and great museums of Hakone are within easy reach.

Several courses each use only the freshest, finest ingredients.
