Hotel Okura is opening something special in Hakone in 2029—and it’s perfect for anyone who’s ever wanted the hot spring experience without the crowds.
The Okura Resort Hakone Gora will be Hotel Okura’s first resort in Japan, and here’s what makes it different: every single one of the 58 rooms comes with its own private outdoor hot spring bath. No sharing, no waiting, no schedules to work around. Just step outside your room whenever you want and enjoy real thermal water from Owakudani, one of Hakone’s most authentic hot spring sources.
The resort is designed to feel like a peaceful hideaway in the forest, thanks to designer Gwenael Nicolas, who’s created beautiful spaces using natural materials that fit right into Hakone’s stunning mountain scenery.
You’ll also find excellent teppanyaki dining and the kind of warm, thoughtful service Hotel Okura is famous for around the world.
Whether you’re planning a romantic getaway, a relaxing break from city life, or a special trip to experience Japanese hot spring culture your own way, this resort promises something rare: true privacy paired with authentic luxury.
