Overall, the hotel did not meet 5 star standards. The nicest part of the hotel was the private onsen on our balcony and the view. The rooms were dated and a bit unkept. The hotel staff were cold (bordering rude) and incredibly unhelpful when it came to helping us find places for dinner nearby.

If I can sum it up in one word…. ā€˜Wow!’ This hotel was amazing. I booked a Japanese style room on the upper floor of the west wing with a private onsen. The room was spacious, clean and really comfortable beds. Sitting in the onsen and having a ā€˜cold drink’ with the views was amazing. The hotel staff was excellent on check- in and check-out. Dinner and breakfast service was also excellent.

If you want to treat yourself and stay in one of the best properties and locations in Gora (Hakone), book some time at KARAKU. The rooms, private and guest onsen, amenities, dining, staff, and overall experience was a highlight of our trip. This is a truly special ryokan, and caters perfectly to visitors from all over the globe.

The Orix hotel is farther away from the main Hakone shopping area, however it's walking distance to/from the Gora station so it's easy to get to. The property is perfect for quiet get away and to enjoy a private onsen. Absolutely love the experience and staffs are all very friendly, helpful and polite.

The kaiseki was incredible. Staff was extremely professional, helpful and nice. The property itself is beautiful, and the onsen itself was clean, modern, and had an amazing view.

This hotel was a highlight for us. Our family loved the hot springs tubs, the japanese style clothing they provide for us to wear, and the traditional kaiseki dinner. The hotel was beautiful and the staff was very lovely (so kind and helpful). Would highly recommend. Lots of stuff to do nearby including hiking, skywalk, cable car, and lake cruise. This was a beautiful stop for us between Tokyo and Kyoto.

Hakone is a unique stay in that you have your private onsen. The modern facilities coupled with the exceptional dinner and breakfast would be the reason I’d return again and again. Thank you!

Incredible experience and service. We were all looking forward to this one night stay before our trip to Japan and it did not disappoint. The highlight was the private onsen on our balcony, we used it several times during our one day stay. Highly recommend this ryokan if you can book it
