What it is

Gora Kadan stands in the historic grounds of the Kan'in-no-miya Villa, which the hotel's page describes as once a cherished summer retreat for the Imperial Family. According to the page, Prince Kan'in Kotohito named the villa Gora Kadan when he chose to open it personally to receive his most honoured guests, and it operated as a place of hospitality through 1948.

The hotel is at 1300 Gora, in Hakone. The page gives no room count, and the dining details on it describe a different property, Gora Kadan Fuji, so we say nothing about the restaurant here.

In our itinerary

Our Japan autumn itinerary describes Gora Kadan as a Relais & Châteaux ryokan in Gora with dinner and breakfast included in the rate, and spends one night here. The price we use is JPY 165,626 for the night with dinner and breakfast for two, from the IKYU booking site.

A ryokan rate that includes meals is not comparable with a room-only hotel rate, so do not set it against the other hotels in the itinerary without adjusting for the meals.

Who it suits

It suits travellers who want one night in a ryokan with a long history, with dinner and breakfast included.

It is a poor fit for anyone who wants a room-only stay, or a number of nights. The page we read does not describe the baths or the rooms, so ask what the quoted room includes.
