The Story

In his seminal series Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji, ukiyo-e artist Hokusai captured the many faces of Japan’s iconic mountain from different vantages around the Kanto Plain. Gora Kadan Fuji, long awaited sister property to Hakone’s famed Gora Kadan ryokan, offers the same varied experience of Mt. Fuji, with the perspective shifting temporally rather than spatially.

Located on the rolling easthern foothills of Mt. Fuji, nearly every corner of this 42-room ryokan offers views of its stately neighbor—draped in mantles of snow in winter, skirted by fiery groves of maple and larch in autumn, a negative presence against the star-strewn sky at night, wrapped demurely in scarves of mist and cloud. Every glance out the window provides a different perspective of the mercurial Fuji.

The ryokan’s design ethos will be clearly recognizable to fans of the Hakone property, with its chic contemporary take on traditional forms and full-throated celebration of Japanese craft, rich with the natural textures of washi, silk, stone, and wood. The architecture and design are steeped in the world of the tea ceremony, with tokonoma alcoves displaying hanging scrolls, antique dishes, and seasonal ikebana flower arrangements. Every room is supplied with a calligraphy set with traditional ink stone and an animal hair brush. Subtle scents of tatami, cedar, and incense subconsciously invite guests to slow down, breathe deep, and relax. It is an elegant immersion into Japanese culture.

Gora-Kadan Fuji offers an outsize choice for dining with four in-house restaurants, including collaborations with Michelin-starred restaurants Nihonryori Kanda and Sushi Sho. A fifth option for casual all-day dining is available at the neighboring golf club, where guests can also play an 18-hole course at the foot of Mt. Fuji.

The owners have drawn on decades of experience at the Hakone property to craft a new ryokan with flawless adaptability to guest needs, spending years to find the perfect location and design an exquisitely beautiful and unique retreat that raises the bar for the luxury ryokan experience. Like Hokusai’s woodblock prints, Gora Kadan Fuji will be a timeless classic.

The indoor bath is made from fragrant Aomori Hiba wood and is accompanied by a steam sauna. From the baths or lounging on the veranda’s daybed, guests are immersed in a soundscape of bird song, the rustling of leaves, and the gentle murmur of the garden stream. This secluded grove is so peaceful, wild deer have been known to wander by.

    Cuisine Guests at Gora-Kadan Fuji are spoiled for choice with five restaurants offering a multifaceted journey through Japan’s rich food culture and terroir, including two outposts from Michelin-starred restaurants Nihonryori Kanda and Sushi Sho. Drawing on an abundance of fresh seafood from nearby Suruga Bay and the produce of the mineral-laden volcanic soil in Fuji’s foothills, the various chefs craft meals that embody season and place and demonstrate the endless possibilities of modern Japanese cuisine. Guests in search of seclusion can opt for in-room dining or private rooms, while those that prefer a more convivial atmosphere have four unique dining rooms ringing a standing bar for pre-dinner Champagne and oysters.
    Kaiseki Kadan This deep dive into kaiseki culture begins with a welcome drink poured into a flat, lacquer dish called a sakazuki, an ancient style of sake cup used in formal celebrations. The kimono-clad Okami glides from table to table, greeting each guest by name. From the neighboring teppan, the aroma of sizzling wagyu sharpens hunger while the hum of conversation and the click and clack of chefs’ knives create an especially lively atmosphere. Then come endless courses of exquisitely executed kaiseki, the dishware chosen personally by the chef to represent the pride of Japan: elegant Arita ware embossed with gold, the brown and green of tea ceremony’s Oribe ware, glistening Kanazawa lacquerware dusted with silver maki-e. Classic presentations like steamed duck dumplings and gingko nuts in dashi lead to more contemporary ones like the signature maguro cutlet with caviar and mustard sauce before culminating in the grand reveal of the seasonal clay pot rice. Culture, nourishment, and luxurious pleasure, brought together in a single meal.
    Counter Kappo For a more exclusive and elevated kaiseki experience, Gora-Kadan Fuji offers 7 seats each night at Counter Kappo, bringing guests closer to the rich sensory experience of washoku. The crackle of eel on the charcoal grill, the aroma of simmering dashi, the whorls of steam rising from freshly made clay pot rice—before it even reaches your mouth, every bite is a symphony of sensuous pleasures. Local ingredients such as wasabi from Amagi, rice from Gotemba, and the tiny, plump sakura shrimp of Suruga Bay demonstrate the rich blessings of the seasons in Shizuoka. A subtle dance between chef and guest determines the pace of the meal, attuning each dish to the mood, the moment, the conversation, for an experience that embodies the best of Japanese omotenashi.

    ** Additional charge of JPY12,100 per person will be applied for this dining selection.
    ** Children under 12 are not allowed for this dining selection. Guests with children under 12 can choose from in-room dining or a private dining room.
    Fuji Takumi Created by the 3-star chef of Sushi Sho, 8-seater Fuji Takumi recreates the reverent atmosphere of a chic urban sushi counter but has a far more relaxed service style that invites guest to linger over every morsel. While Takumi shares Sushi Sho’s dedication to craft and devotion to fermentation techniques, it has its own unique menu, down to a different vinegar blend in the shari. Drawing on the rich seafood bounty of Suruga Bay and the fertile lands around Mt. Fuji, the chefs shape a leisurely experience with a deep sense of place. Akafuji trout, raised in the pure waters of Gotemba, are matured for three days and transformed through kombu curing. Young sea bream are adorned with a golden egg yolk vinegar. A handroll of minced tuna, scallion, and pickled daikon is playfully christened “ohagi” after its resemblance to a traditional Japanese sweet. Paired with an extensive sake and wine list, it is a meal of unparalleled luxury.

    Fuji Kanda This is teppanyaki reimagined by the chef behind long-time Michelin favorite Nihonryori Kanda. Rare-breed wagyu beef remains the uncontested star, prepared with flair by chefs with equal skills in knifework and conversation, but European influences round out a border-erasing menu with combinations like teppan-grilled blinis with Kito yuzu cream and Kanda’s original Ossetra golden caviar. The exclusive counter seats are the thrumming heart of the restaurant floor, seating just a few lucky customers per night at the center of the action, for a culinary performance with Fuji as the majestic backdrop and a signature dessert of seasonal shaved ice as a playful final act.

    ** Children under 12 are not allowed for this dining selection. Guests with children under 12 can choose from in-room dining or a private dining room.
    The Dining The restaurant at the neighboring golf club offers a casual all-day dining menu of Western classics like pasta vongole, pork roast, and hamburgers in a glass-walled dining room with panoramic Fuji views over the immaculately sculpted pine and sakura ringing the 18th hole. Newly renovated but nostalgic in design, the atmosphere blends luxury lodge with Art Deco club for a warm and welcoming elegance. With a sun-drenched deck for outdoor dining, the venue offers a particularly attractive lunch option even for those not hitting the links.
    Kadan Spa The full-service Kadan Spa bases its signature treatments around pristine snowmelt groundwater, purified by centuries seeping through Fuji’s volcanic soil and complemented by native medicinal herbs, fermented koji rice, and rare tachibana citrus oil indigenous to the area. Highlights include a dedicated head spa room where guests are swaddled in soothing warmth and darkness as cascading waters flow over the scalp, gently bringing every nerve to tingling life and eliciting sympathetic goose bumps from fingers to toes. Another unique amenity is a private bath for long, limbering pre-massage soaks.
    Grand Bath Mt. Fuji, massive and solitary, attracts its own changeable weather. From the open-air bath, volcanic stones arranged just so to repose in the hot waters, guests can watch the perpetual motion of clouds swirling and scattering around that volcanic locus like courtiers around a sovereign. If guests can tear their eyes away from the mesmerizing sight, a steam room and sauna await. But even there, peek-a-boo windows provide glimpses of the mountain rising above a mossy garden of maples, plums, and azaleas. The indoor bath adds jacuzzi jets to the healing hot spring water, enhancing their soporific effect with effervescent massage.
    Golf Course Guests of the ryokan are offered discount play the Kagosaka Course at neighboring Gora Kadan Fuji Golf, a private members club on the undulating foothills of UNESCO World Heritage Site Mt. Fuji. The 18-hole course sits at about 900 meters above sea level, with clear views of Mt. Fuji over the encircling groves of mature red pine. Following the gentle topography of the Kagosaka Pass, the course offers a few blind holes on the natural slopes and several challenging multi-tiered greens.
    Salon Adjacent to the communal grand baths is a lounge space for post-soak relaxation. Contemplate the powerful dynamism of the characters in a sumi ink artwork by famed calligrapher Ebihara Rogen, flip through photo books about delicately crafted wagashi sweets while sipping iced green tea, or knead away any lingering tightness in the massage chairs. On the outdoor veranda, Fuji dominates the scene by day, but at night a duet of fireplace flames and reflected boughs dance on the surface of the garden pond.
    Gallery Shop Rather than the standard gift shop, this elegant show space hosts exhibitions of some of Japan’s most famous craftspeople, bringing guests into contact with fine ceramics and other pieces created by living treasures preserving and evolving the country’s artistic traditions. A recent exhibition featured antique dealer turned potter Shion Tabata, for example, who is revered for fostering a revival of classical forms and styles in contemporary ceramics. Guests are free to peruse the works, as well as purchase them for a truly one-of-a-kind memento of their stay.
    Swimming Pool and Gym A 20-meter infinity pool, heated year round, seems to extend into Mt. Fuji’s forelands, the peak reflected in the still waters. It is a place of serene relaxation, exclusive to ryokan guests, who can swim leisurely laps, soak tired muscles in the neighboring jacuzzi, nap in the plush daybeds, or steam in the mist sauna as the mood takes them. Next door is a fully equipped 24-hour gym with state-of-the-art fitness machines, free weights, kettlebells, and more, all positioned to enjoy floor-to-ceiling mountain views while strengthening body and mind.
    Sauna Gentle, enveloping heat encourages deep relaxation and mindful release.The bathing areas offer both dry and mist saunas, while the pool zone features a serene hammam. From within, gaze upon the untouched beauty of Mount Fuji, then step outside to breathe in the fresh highland air—as body and spirit quietly return to balance.
