Hakone Gora Byakudan is a five-star ryokan in the Gora area of Hakone, Kanagawa Prefecture, standing in a 1.2-hectare deciduous forest. It has 16 rooms, each with an open-air natural hot-spring bath on a private deck, and serves kaiseki cuisine. The lobby is high-ceilinged and spacious, and the interior mixes traditional and modern Japanese design. Families are welcome, and parking, including secure parking, is available on site. A free shuttle runs from Gora Station, and the journey from Shinjuku takes about 90 minutes by limited-express train. It suits travellers seeking a quiet, traditional stay with private bathing. The main drawback is access: the ryokan is reached by train and shuttle rather than being in a city centre.
