Gora Kadan

Gora Kadan, a Relais & Châteaux property

A stay at the Gôra Kadan ryokan, the former residence of the Kanin-no-miya imperial family located in the heart of the Hakone National Park, is an invitation to awaken your five senses and an immersion in the lifestyle of ancient Japan. Listen to the rustle of a sliding rice paper screen, rediscover floral fragrances in the incense, savour the taste of traditional kaiseki cuisine and appreciate the feel of silk... This haven of peace is located in a region where the springs are warmed by volcanic rocks. The suites feature a minimalist design, and the hotel also offers a swimming pool, a spa and a beauty salon.
