Overview

Hakone Gora Kiritani is a ryokan in Gora, Hakone, where you can soak in milky-white sulfur onsen from the Owakudani spring source, flowing straight from the source. Its 24 rooms are mainly Japanese-style tatami rooms. The family bath is free and needs no reservation, and the private-hire open-air bath has set child rates for ages 4-12 and ages 0-3. Kids' menus are prepared by age, and the private dining rooms are recommended for families with young children. Do note that children cannot stay in the Sakura-tei annex on the standard plan, and there are many slopes and stairs, so choose your room with care.

Rooms

The main building and the Sakura-tei annex have 24 rooms in total. There are elevators in the main building's front desk area and in the dining building, but getting to Sakura-tei or the detached room means outdoor stairs, with no elevator. Beni, a Japanese-modern premium room renovated in December 2024, is a suite-style room where a bedroom with futons laid on a raised platform connects to a Japanese-style tatami room, and it sits close to the communal bath. Fuyo no Ma is a three-room suite made up of a raised platform plus 10-tatami and 3-tatami Japanese-style rooms, sleeping up to 7 guests; the 3-tatami room doubles as a play space or a spot for children to nap. Other options include the Japanese-modern compact rooms renovated in 2023 and Japanese-style rooms of 8 tatami mats plus a broad window-side space. The detached room next to the main building has 16 tatami mats plus a broad window-side space and sleeps up to 8 guests. Sakura-tei has Japanese-style rooms of 10 tatami mats plus a broad window-side space, as well as special rooms with an in-room open-air bath, in either a 12-tatami Japanese-style layout or a Japanese-Western layout with twin beds plus 6 tatami mats. Those open-air baths are not fed by the hot spring, but they have a reheating function and are ready to use. Sakura-tei is about a 2-minute walk from the main building, along slopes and stairs. Children cannot stay in the Sakura-tei annex on the standard one-night, two-meal plan.

Dining

Dinner and breakfast are both served in the dining area of the main building; in-room dining is not available. Kids' menus are prepared by age for ages 0-3 and ages 4-12, and the content is set to match the age you give when booking. The regular dining area has chairs and tables throughout, making it easy for everyone from children to older guests. There are also private dining rooms, where you can choose chairs and tables, Japanese-style floor seating or sunken-floor (horigotatsu) seating; they are recommended for families with young children and for anniversary celebrations. A private dining room is available on a plan that guarantees one, or for an additional charge. For children from age 4 through the sixth grade of elementary school, the only rate is 70% of the adult rate, with futon bedding and meals. For ages 0-3, you choose from 30% to 70% of the adult rate depending on whether meals and futon bedding are included. Junior high school students pay the adult rate.

Baths and Onsen

The milky-white sulfur onsen comes from the Owakudani spring source and is a sulfate spring, served without recirculation, straight from the source. Three bathing areas hold five baths in all, so you can go from one to the next. The small family bath is free and needs no reservation; you simply lock the door while you use it. There is also a private-hire open-air bath, reservation-only and limited to 5 time slots a day, where you have two baths to yourselves: an indoor bath and an open-air bath. The rates are 1,800 yen for adults, 1,260 yen for ages 4-12 and 900 yen for ages 0-3, each per person, and it is available for 2 or more people. At the entrance to Yudokoro Hatsune there is also a footbath that adults and children alike can enjoy.

Family-Friendly Features

The family bath is free and needs no reservation, and the private-hire open-air bath has set child rates for ages 4-12 and ages 0-3, so it is easy to enjoy the onsen just with your family. Kids' menus are prepared by age, and the private dining rooms are recommended for families with young children. On the other hand, children cannot stay in the Sakura-tei annex on the standard one-night, two-meal plan, so check whether your room is in the main building or the annex when choosing. Reaching Sakura-tei or the detached room involves stairs and slopes, and Sakura-tei has no elevator, so take particular care if you are using a stroller. The entire property is non-smoking. For children ages 0-3 there is also a rate category with futon bedding but no meals, and futons for babies and toddlers are provided.

Access
