Breakfast and dinner were absolutely fantastic! The real standout, though, is the heart the owner puts into every detail. You can truly feel the care in every meal. A wonderful experience!

The room was very comfortable, the boss cleaned up very neatly, the kaiseki cuisine was very filling, the people in the restaurant were very kind, the hot spring was a sulfur spring, and the private bath was really comfortable.

We booked for breakfast and dinner. However, dinner was from 6:00 to 8:00, and we weren't allowed to eat after 7:30. We arrived at 7:25, and the owner said the old man was waiting for us at the door, so we took our luggage and went to dinner. Although the two-hour meal was rushed through in half an hour, I was very grateful for the service. Families booking dinner should keep an eye on the time. The hot springs were in one room for 40 minutes. Although small, they were still quite nice.

This is a traditional Japanese hotel. The dinner and breakfast are amazing, and I highly recommend it.
It's also conveniently located near Gora Station. If you're looking for a traditional Japanese onsen hotel, Gorakan is the recommended choice.

A very nice onsen ryokan (hot spring inn) with an excellent location, just minutes from Gora Station. Exit the station, turn right into a small underpass, then turn left again and walk 100 meters to the right. It has shared rooms with tatami mats and a natural hot spring. You can reserve a private onsen bath upon check-in. Be sure to book a one-night stay with two meals included! When checking in, just use a translation app on your phone to communicate with the front desk; there won't be any problems.

The transportation is very convenient. You can get off at Gora Station and walk through the tunnel to get there. The room is a typical Japanese hotel. The kaiseki food is delicious, and the private hot spring is also good. It is a wonderful holiday experience.

The location is very good and the overall cost performance is high, but the facilities are relatively old, and the heating effect is not good in winter, so it is very cold inside the house.

A very traditional Japanese family hot spring hotel. The basic room has a 1-hour private bath, but it seems not as good as the unlimited public bath. The food is definitely the highlight. It is very close to Gora Station and the transportation is very convenient.

The room is old, but the air conditioner is turned on at night, so it doesn't feel cold. The futon is comfortable to sleep in at night.
The kaiseki cuisine and breakfast the next day are good. Some dishes are delicious but some are difficult to understand, but the service is very good.
I saw some bad reviews on Google Maps, but I didn't encounter most of the situations mentioned.
The location is good, downhill through the underpass is right at the entrance of Gora Station.
The only complaint is that the private bath is a bit too short at 40 minutes. It was fifteen minutes after I took off my clothes and took a shower.
