What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
a 39-room escape that’s as fine an example of the genre as you could wish for — calming vistas, comfortable and handsome interiors…
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Tucked into the hills of Gora, the property sits secluded among cedar woods just a short ride from the cable car.
The rooms
Each suite pairs tatami seating with a private indoor hot spring bath fed by clear, chloride-rich Gora spring water.
The onsen
Soak slowly.
Milky-white sulfur water from volcanic Owakudani fills the communal baths, looking out across the Hakone mountain ridges.
At the table
Dining rooms look onto the forest for seasonal kaiseki and intimate teppanyaki, beside drinks at the stone-set timber bar.
