The place itself
Gora Kadan Hakone stands in Gora, Hakone, on the ground of the former Kan'in-no-miya villa. The address is 1300 Gora, Hakone-machi, Ashigarashimo-gun, Kanagawa 250-0408. On their own history they say Prince Kotohito of the Kan'in house named the place when he opened the villa to guests, and they trace that name to 1948. Gora is the village. Kadan is the word they use for a house opened to receive people. This page is the Hakone house. Gora Kadan Fuji is a different property. The Hakone page describes a building that keeps old Japanese materials beside a modern expression, hot spring water that wells from the source, and kaiseki from seasonal ingredients. Rooms they list: a villa annex, Japanese rooms with an open-air bath, and standard Japanese rooms. Direct phone 0460-82-3331. The reservation centre is 0120-131-331. Email reservation@gorakadan.com.
