TOP5 Most Expensive Hotels and Ryokans in Hakone

For more than 100 years, the historic Gora Kadan has been a regular ryokan for political and financial dignitaries and famous writers, and has a dignity and prestige that sets it apart from other ryokans in Hakone. Once you step inside, you will find a creative sense of value. My personal opinion is that those who are interested in Japanese culture, Japanese architecture, interior design, and Japanese gardens will find great value in their time here. For everyone else, it will feel like an overpriced ryokan with an overpriced price tag.

Except for Gora Kadan, the following resorts and ryokans are considered appropriate prices in Hakone. Depending on the time of year, a room for two people with a private hot spring bath and dinner and breakfast is about JPY40,000 to JPY60,000. The price range generally tends to rise during the cherry blossom and fall foliage seasons.

For your reference, the cheapest price range is during the off-season from the second week of January through February and on weekdays from the second week of May through June.
