Gora Kadan
Hakone, Japan
Why Gora Kadan is one of Asia’s Best 100 Hotels 2025.
Gora Kadan brings the formality of a distinguished ryokan into a former imperial-family retreat in Hakone. Onsen bathing, seasonal kaiseki and meticulous room service are delivered with quiet confidence, while the restrained modern additions respect the original residence. The experience makes Japanese ritual feel gracious rather than ceremonial.
