Gora Kadan Hakone
A stay in Gora Kadan is an invitation to bring your five senses to life by immersing yourself in the ancient Japanese way of life. Located on the grounds of the former summer villa of a member of the Imperial family, the building and facilities have earned high praise for its design, being in harmony with the nearby mountains, blending Japanese tradition along with modern design elements. The suites have been designed in a minimalist style, and the hotel’s facilities include a swimming pool, a spa, and a beauty salon.
Gora Kadan has two wells from which mineral rich, hot spring water flows and feeds the open-air baths. The minerals contained in the spring water are regarded as having many healthy qualities promoting general good health, and also, smooth, soft skin. Highly recommended is having a massage from the wide selection offered, preceded by a good, long soak in the onsen spa to first condition the skin. This calm retreat is located in an area known for its springs, which are heated by volcanic rocks.
Listen to the gentle swoosh of a sliding wall made of rice paper, smell the fragrant flower incense, taste the traditional Kaiseki cuisine and feel the touch of silk. Since 1981, Gora Kadan has been a member of Relais & Chateaux.
