My 5th time in Hakone! I still choose this hotel! My favorite hotel in the world

We decided to go to Hakone at the last minute, and it was a pleasant surprise! Gora Kadan has 16 rooms, each with a private hot spring bath ♨️, allowing you to enjoy the tranquility of the hot spring. As soon as you enter the hotel, the scent of sandalwood 🪵 and the soothing background music 🎵 will instantly relieve your travel fatigue. The specially designed arch slippers 🩴 are so comfortable that you can't help but sigh, this is what enjoyment is all about. When you check in, the hotel will also serve you exquisite snacks and matcha 🍵, a warm welcome. Gora Kadan's kaiseki cuisine is not only a feast for the taste buds, but also a visual delight: 🍱 Presentation: Each dish is carefully presented and served in elegant lacquerware and uniquely shaped trays. 🍽️ Ingredients and tableware: From precious ingredients to cooking methods to the ingenious design of the tableware, every detail shows the artistry of Japanese cuisine. ✨ Expectation and surprise: As each dish is served, the taste and beauty are layered, and every bite is memorable. The hotel offers three different styles of hot spring experiences: 1️⃣ Indoor and open-air hot springs: The indoor hot spring is connected to the open-air hot spring, which is surrounded by rocks, flowers, and trees. 🏮 Lanterns are lit at night, creating a great atmosphere. 2️⃣ Family bathhouse: A hidden hot spring ♨️ deep in the woods, perfect for families or couples, both private and romantic.
