Gora Kadan

What the classifiers highlight

Once a retreat for the imperial family, this ryokan sits inside Hakone National Park, eighty-five minutes from Tokyo in the shadow of Fuji. Rooms mix tatami and semi-Western styles, several with private open-air baths in wood or stone, and a shared mineral pool ringed by boulders. MICHELIN's Three Keys single out the setting and a kitchen built on seasonal classics.
