A stay in Gôra Kadan, the former retreat of the Imperial Family, Kanin-no-miya, in Hakone National Park, is an invitation to bring your five senses to life by immersing yourself in the ancient Japanese way of life. Listen to the gentle swoosh of a sliding wall made of rice paper, smell the fragrant flower incense, taste the traditional Kaiseki cuisine and feel the touch of silk.

This calm retreat is located in an area known for its springs heated by volcanic rocks. Suites have been designed in a minimalist style, and facilities include a swimming pool, a spa, and a beauty salon. (Yuji Fujimoto, Maître de Maison)

Exotic fragrances waft delicately through the air, welcoming you as enter the Kadan Spa. A hot spring overflows into the open-air bath. This serenity drains all of your tensions, inducing a welcome state of calm. All facets coalesce to invoke an authentic Japanese spa experience.
