The property was nice and clean. The staff for the most part had great service. What I don't know is that there were no buffets or menus. You had to eat whatever they gave you. It was very difficult to eat there. Most of the food we didn't like. We paid a lot money and didn't eat. The Onsens were meh. Nothing special. The absolute worst thing that happened to us there was when we went to the private Insen there,there was two small smoothies in bottles that we were able to drink. Later when we asked for more, they said no. We weren't eating anything and at least wanted a smoothie but would not let us have more and we couldn't even buy more. They had a small lounge where you could drink alcohol for free but we couldn't get a bottled smoothie. That was ridiculous. No room service. No food we could request to eat. So disappointing and definitely not with the money.

If you want to treat yourself and stay in one of the best properties and locations in Gora (Hakone), book some time at KARAKU. The rooms, private and guest onsen, amenities, dining, staff, and overall experience was a highlight of our trip. This is a truly special ryokan, and caters perfectly to visitors from all over the globe.

We spent one night at this lovely property. I was hesitant given the cost, but it was totally worth it and I highly recommend it. The online images don't do it justice. We loved the room, the food and the staff. The place was very quiet and we could not hear guests in the adjoining rooms. We opted for the traditional kaiseki dinner and Japanese breakfast and thoroughly enjoyed both (the dinner was the best we had in Japan). We also opted for the private onsen on our balcony, which was magnificent. The public onsen was also really nice. If we are lucky enough to get back to Japan, I would spend a minimum of 2 nights here to allow for full-time for relaxation. Don't hesitate! Make a reservation at this awesome place and you will not be disappointed!

This hotel was a highlight for us. Our family loved the hot springs tubs, the japanese style clothing they provide for us to wear, and the traditional kaiseki dinner. The hotel was beautiful and the staff was very lovely (so kind and helpful). Would highly recommend. Lots of stuff to do nearby including hiking, skywalk, cable car, and lake cruise. This was a beautiful stop for us between Tokyo and Kyoto.

This hotel is top-notch in every way. The rooms were spacious and luxurious. The decorating was tasteful and demure. They treat every guest with great respect. They have an absolutely lovely customer lounge area which provides snacks and drinks as well as wine & beer for their guests. It is a four minute walk to the train and an eight minute walk to the bus. The skin care and toiletries that they have for your use are very high-quality. Because this is a Japanese Rioken they provided three or four sets of clothing that you could wear in the hotel during your stay. Oh yes, they had bath slippers slippers for around the hotel room, and slippers to wear on the patio. Truly, they have thought of everything to make your stay so incredibly comfortable and enjoyable. I would write them a 10 if I could. I wish we had more time to stay there longer it was so lovely and relaxing.

We stayed at Karaku for one night and were blown away by how beautiful the hotel was and the exceptional service of the staff, most notably Mr. Lee. I booked a West Wing room with open air onsen that included dinner at 5pm. It felt like a good idea at the time because we planned to do the ropeway and pirate boat ride, but unfortunately when we stayed it decided to snow and those activities were closed. The hotel was so helpful in moving our dinner to 7:30pm so we had time to explore. I kind of regretted that though because the amenities and comfort of the hotel were probably the best we’ve ever experienced. The room was amazing, we didn’t want to leave. Complimentary traditional clothing is provided for comfort around the hotel and the dining room (but not required, as there’s no dress code). They also offer a guest lounge that offered complimentary afternoon and morning snacks and beverages. Highly recommend! The diner was top notch, but recommend if you book the meals, research what you’re getting. We paid for a Japanese style breakfast, but decided to pass on it in the morning. We didn’t do enough research, and wouldn’t have included breakfast or dinner in our reservation if we could do it again (sorry, we’re just not huge seafood lovers, and it was primarily all seafood). Highly recommend staying here! It was expensive, but you literally felt like you were living in luxury here, and to have our own private outdoor onsen was amazing.

Highlight of our Japan Trip

Incredible stay. Gorgeous property, beautiful rooms, really nice amenities… I really appreciated nice touches to the room like high end skincare and hair care. I loved the really fancy hair dryers in the room and spa! Spending time on our patio in the onsen was so nice. Renting a bigger onsen for a private hour was also a highlight. The kaiseki dinners and traditional Japanese breakfasts were really delightful. The guest lounge with complimentary snacks and drinks was a nice touch. Proximity to the Gora station, shrine, open air museum and owakudani was also wonderful.

The kaiseki was incredible. Staff was extremely professional, helpful and nice. The property itself is beautiful, and the onsen itself was clean, modern, and had an amazing view.
