Hakone Gora Karaku
Gora, Japan
Every guest room at Karaku has an outdoor hot-spring bath, giving even a short stay room for a private soak. Beyond the accommodation are larger bathing facilities, terraces and lounges that make the property feel more like a resort than a small inn. Rooms combine contemporary comfort with Japanese touches. Compare the east and west wings for their outlooks, and leave time to enjoy the hotel rather than filling every hour with sightseeing.
