KÚON Hakone Gora

From the welcome sweets upon arrival, the tea presentations were wonderful at every time of day, and everything was delicious. I recommend checking in at 1:00 PM so you can enjoy the tea and sweets for longer. Even though it is all-inclusive, it’s not just “everything available”—the carefully selected offerings that match the Hotel’s concept were excellent. At dinner, tea was subtly incorporated into the dishes, and each non-alcoholic pairing also featured tea—surprising, enjoyable, beautifully presented, and above all delicious. When I asked about various menu items (a printed menu will be completed soon), the head chef kindly showed me the breakfast menu in the morning, which I truly appreciated. The Room had a calm yet refined atmosphere and was lovely. The lounge was similarly serene and comfortable; both spaces felt very relaxing. The Onsen in the Room was also soothing—I was completely satisfied! All of the staff were very pleasant, making this a truly wonderful Hotel. I would love to return again.

On the day of our stay, we were upgraded to a Room with an open-air bath, allowing us to enjoy a very relaxing experience. The tea lounge offered a variety of teas and sweets, which we enjoyed while taking in the beautiful Hakone scenery. The meals were delicious, and the service provided by the staff was exceptional. We would love to visit again if given the opportunity. Thank you very much!
