easy access to parks and cultural attractions nearby

staying here was wonderful, especially with the quick walk to Gora Park and the stunning Hakone Museum of Art just around the corner, both perfect spots for leisurely strolls and soaking in the nature and culture of the area.

Staying at Gora Onsen Hotel Kasansui had unique merits. The spacious twin room offered comfort with clean linens and a beautiful yukata provided for our stay. Dinner and breakfast were highlights, featuring a variety of delicious, traditional dishes that sparkled in flavor. The onsen experience, although small, felt private and cozy, especially since we often had it to ourselves. One big drawback was the dated furniture, which made some areas feel less inviting. The carpet on the stairs was stained, and the lighting in the room left much to be desired. The hillside location made the walk to the station challenging, especially after a long day. Despite these inconveniences, the cozy atmosphere and delightful meals made our stay enjoyable.

Dinner and breakfast were a feast of flavors, especially the freshly made sandwiches that had my taste buds dancing! Plus, the onsen provided a hot, blissful respite after a day's adventures.

Nothing to truly fault—just a small note, the set Japanese meals can be a bit daunting for first-timers without clear instructions.

The ambience of the surrounding area was first class, and the

Kaiseki dinner was a highlight of our stay. The genuine hospitality from the staff truly enhanced the experience, and I appreciated the shuttle service to the station. However, the walk back uphill in the rain was quite challenging.

well, I was terribly excited to stay at this 'renowned' hotel. too bad the onsen tub was broken and absolutely filthy. the rundown furniture was so bad I refused to touch it. I expected a complimentary room upgrade for this disaster but they just shrugged. honestly, I almost wrote a good review but just couldn’t. disappointing!

traditional Japanese hotel, spacious room, beautiful yukata

The decor felt like it was stuck in another era!!! The uphill walk with luggage was quite a struggle, and let's face it, the overall ambiance could really benefit from an update and better maintenance!!!

great atmosphere but needs some updates

The hospitality of the staff stood out during our stay, making us feel welcome at every turn. The dining experience was truly exceptional, with beautifully presented and delicious meals that catered to our dietary needs, adding a personal touch. The large traditional twin room had ample space, a lovely view of the surrounding nature, and a charming seating area. We thoroughly enjoyed the peaceful onsen experience that, while small, felt cozy and private.

The decor felt outdated and some areas needed maintenance.

A hidden gem in Hakone

The hospitality impressed me greatly. The onsen was a tranquil escape, and both dinner and breakfast offered a remarkable variety that turned every meal into an adventure.

The location posed a bit of a challenge. the uphill walk from the nearby station with luggage was difficult. Also, the internet connection could be unreliable at times.

I had a wonderful experience at Hakone Gora Onsen Hotel Kasansui. The staff were exceptionally attentive, ensuring my shoes were warmed up after a rainy day. Both the dinner and breakfast were exquisite, showcasing a delightful array of local flavors.

The onsen was small.

Nice spacious rooms with air conditioning. Onsen is small but great for a quiet soak.

We enjoyed a marvelous kaiseki dinner that even accommodated dietary restrictions! The onsen was incredibly relaxing, though the firmness of the bed took some getting used to. I'd definitely stay here again!

Spacious rooms with air conditioning, free parking, and a lovely spa. Onsen was too small.

The Gora Onsen Hotel Kasansui delivers an exceptional experience with its spacious room featuring traditional tatami flooring and a comfortable futon bedding setup. The dining options took me on a culinary adventure with varied and delicious traditional Japanese meals served for breakfast and dinner, all while being surrounded by beautiful natural scenery visible through the room's large windows.
