Gora Kadan

Gora Kadan exemplifies a fusion of tradition and custom with captivating Japanese charm. A perfect union of past and present, this magnificent property is set in the stunning context of the National Park of Hakone. Once a retreat for the Kaninnomiya Imperial family, this noble estate can be considered one of the area's most coveted treasures. This ancient Japanese hideaway offers a truly exquisite and unforgettable experience.

Gora Kadan also brings to you a full service spa, offering an international menu of aromatherapy, thalasso therapy, Italian foot and leg treatments and Dead Sea salt therapy.

The modern structure of this ryokan is architecturally stunning. The long wooden hallways lead to astonishing views of the valley. The rooms at Gora Kadan are Japanese tradition at its best. As you walk around and through many of the passages, staircases, external and internal walkways, you begin to uncover a rich and detailed architecture and a rich interplay of solids and voids. It is an astounding effort to consolidate a strong structural presence within a secluded and private environment.
