The property was beautiful and the staff were lovely with great service. The private onsen was amazing. The food was probably a little challenging for our palate but we appreciate that it was traditional Japanese haute cuisine. My only gripe was that my daughter was refused without payment an additional Orange juice for breakfast even though she didn’t drink coffee or tea which were all offered inclusive to me as well as juice. When you’re paying this much for a night’s accommodation that seemed a bit rude to us. Overall lovely experience but very expensive for what you get.

The staff of the Gora Hanaougi and their culinary team are all exceptional. Every need was met with kindness and consideration, and in some cases some needs were met before they were expressed because of the staffs dedicated observation. I have never received such a high level of care and every amenity was provided and the rooms were spacious and beautiful. The kaiseki meals were all beautiful and delicious. The private onsen was convenient and private. The staff were also very helpful in providing gentle guidance of the various etiquettes surrounding onsen/Ryokan culture. Though my Japanese is essentially non existent, communication was never an issue.

Joshua-San and Minami-San, thank you so much for taking such good care of my family during our one-night stay at Gora Hanaougi! As many mentioned, the hotel along with its surrounding is a dreamland on earth with its serenity and natural beauty. But with your warmth and hospitality, you gave the place the personal touch that makes it stand out. A special thank-you to Joshua-San for enabling my daughter to enjoy this life time experience to its fullness. With her severe food allergie to fish and nuts, I felt apprehensive since the first day I booked our stay months ago. I had bombarded you with numerous inquiries, but you answered each one of them with great patience and detail. Language could have been an unfortunate barrier in this place full of Japanese tradition, but with you acting as the bridge, we were able to enjoy the place with ease and confidence. Thank you!

Gora Hanaougi exceeded my greatest expectations. The staff was accommodating and kind. We missed the luggage delivery time at the train station so we brought our bags to the ryokan. Not knowing, we walked up the road from the cable car stop. On leaving, the staff guided us to the private elevator to the cable car stop--super cool. The meals were incredible, though so much food. The onsen was very lovely and the baths in the rooms had an incredible view. I can't imagine a more beautiful view to go with a soak. Overall, the experience was very relaxing and rejuvenating. Highly recommend.

My wife and I stayed here for our honeymoon and it was without a doubt one of the highlights of our trip. The staff was wonderfull from the shuttle pick up to the welcoming at the entrance of the ryokan to the day we left. We ran into some trouble with our luggage transportation service with another company and they went out of their way to call the transportation company to help us out. We are so grateful for their help. Our room was beautiful and clean. The bed was comfortable and the amenities were great. The private onsen was truly an amazing experience. The thermal water was so hot, but the bath was equipped with a system to add cold water to cool down the temperature. The public bath was great as well. The included dinner and breakfast was delicious. The whole dining experience was so unique and very pleasant. I wish I remember the name of each person that helped us during our stay so I could mention them, but all the staff without exception was amazing. We will definitely come back again!!

Incredible Experience
Far from the craziness (in a good way) of Shibuya, this incredible experience was a welcome respite. The staff could not have been more gracious or welcoming, particularly Joshua who definitely had his hands full trying to help us with our luggage and general lack of planning. The dinner and breakfast were exquisitely prepared and presented. Sadly, I don’t like seafood much so it was a challenge. If you have a more sophisticated palate and like seafood and sashimi you will be in heaven. One last thing, so you don’t make a fool of yourself, the brown slippers are meant ONLY for the restroom. Wear socks everywhere else in the building. Our room was a terrace view with onsen bath and that was heavenly. Particularly with coffee before the breakfast. Overall, a great stay and uniquely Japanese experience.

The inside of the property was very elegant; service was top-notch (Minami was a great hostess and had served our family very well); the room was very large for a family of five, complete with toiletries and stocked with beverages for the entire family! The indoor and outdoor onsen was a great amenity, and everyone in the family had enjoyed it. This hotel provided our family with a traditional Japanese ryokan experience: the Yukata for everyone in the family was so fun; the traditional Japanese dinner was over the top, featuring 9-course meal; the traditional Japanese breakfast though less formal, was equally impressive - everything was wonderful and fresh! The dining room with tatami mats, and shoji screens was very beautiful. The location itself was harder to get to - there was no shuttle service from the Shinkansen (bullet train) station, and with a family of 5, had to take 2 taxis to get to the property; the hotel concierge was able to get us 2 taxis to leave the property back to the Shinkansen station, which was very helpful. Though the inside was wonderful, there is hardly any room to walk around the property - we can see gardens outside the windows, but seems like there's no trails to walk around the property to enjoy the gardens. Overall, I would give this ryokan a 5-star, and what a great way to experience Japanese tradition!
