Chalets in Ashigarashimo District

"Nice new hotel …so close to all Hakone and lake Ashi have to offer."

"There really isn’t anything nearby our hotel. no convenient store. It is very quiet and peaceful. Be mindful of this before you book in Gora Otherwise this place is exceptional. It is very clean. We were stunned by the interior design and lighting design. Everything feels brand new including both main building and Ayakan, which is where we stayed. Dinner were 6 course meals. Food came very fast and we have our next course within seconds of finishing our previous course. Would "

"First time at an onsen. We live near Banff,AB so have hot springs too but from the time we arrived, the service was amazing! A doorman carried our luggage up 2 flights of stone steps from the road where our shuttle dropped us off. We were asked to remove shoes and given tea and a mochi. Due to my milk allergy and my hubby not eating raw meat such as sushi, they went over our meals line by line and took such great care of us! The room was huge, our luggage was delivered to our room within 15 minutes and we had a gorgeous view of the cherry blossoms and mountains! Waking up to the sound of birds chirping and the air is so fresh! I love the tranquility and our stay included breakfast and dinner which were served with utmost hospitality and quality. I dropped a chopstick on the floor and had a new one within 20 seconds. I didn’t flag anyone down. They also arranged for our luggage transport to the next hotel and the outdoor onsen was lovely. I didn’t want to leave after the insanity of Tokyo city! Thank you to all the staff and those who manage this facility for making our stay fantastic! For a building that’s 140yo, you have struck the balance of preserving the old with the new! We love you and hope to see you again! "

"Dinner and breakfast buffet spreads are fantastic. Property is lovely. "

"Excelent staff, going above and beyond to help and provide everything guests need. Super friendly and approachable. The facility is on the bus line to the lake and to the topelines so it is very convenient as well. Plus private daily onsen. You cant beat that! "

"Very nice onsen - excellent sushi restaurant experience."

"Great hotel in peaceful area. Easy to walk to from the rope/cable cars. I didn’t realize that the photo of the hotel with the pool that has sitting area in a circle is not a pool, it is just a water feature/fountain with a hot foot bath on the side. Also the spas here are gender separate and traditional onsen with no clothing allowed. They have spa service onsite but it fills up quickly. We got to enjoy the 2 massage chairs for free, which we absolutely loved. Our room had a private onsen bath on the balcony which was great!! It was only big enough to fit 1 person, FYI. Buffet dinner included alcoholic beverages as well. Thank you for a great stay!"

"Very nice ryokan, the private onsen was the biggest highlight. "

"Had an incredible time here! The food was amazing, the staff was always helpful and the atmosphere was relaxing making it a perfect place to relax!"
