We have two open-air scenic baths and three reservable baths of varying styles to let you fully enjoy these renowned hot springs. We focused on designing the baths in harmony with the surrounding landscape to blend seamlessly with some of the best scenery in Hakone. The open-air scenic baths are some of the largest in Gora, allowing you to take in the majestic natural surroundings If you’re looking for more privacy, relax in the reservable baths with garden views.

Development at Gora Hot Springs started when spring water was first drawn from the crater of Mt. Soun in 1894, and with the extension of the Hakone Tozan Railway, Gora Hot Springs prospered as an area for luxury villas. Gora Hot Springs is also known as a place steeped in culture, where you can escape the hustle and bustle of the city and immerse yourself in reading and the tea ceremony while spending time with nature and in the hot springs. Karaku’s source is a salt water spring that has been loved by guests to the hot springs since ancient times. This gives the spring water a quality that make your skin feel pleasantly smooth and the characteristic known as “netsunoyu” (hot bath) where the spring water stays hot and warms your body to its core.
