TOKYO, [Date] – Great news for fans of Japanese hospitality and hot spring getaways: Hotel Okura is opening its very first resort property in Japan, right in the heart of Hakone Gora’s famous hot spring region.
The new Okura Resort Hakone Gora is set to welcome guests in 2029. Working together with Nishimatsu Construction, Hotel Okura is creating a mountain escape that combines the area’s natural beauty with the warm, attentive service the hotel brand is known for throughout Japan.
Why Hakone? Nearly 20 million people visit this scenic mountain destination every year for its therapeutic hot springs and breathtaking views. Hotel Okura President Toshihiro Ogita explained it simply: “The cultural and natural significance of this destination is unparalleled.”
Here’s what makes this resort special: imagine 58 beautifully designed rooms, each with your own private outdoor hot spring bath using authentic waters from Owakudani Hot Spring. Designer Gwenael Nicolas created a “Forest Hideaway” theme that brings the surrounding forest right into the experience. Beyond your room, you’ll find spacious indoor bathing areas, a teppanyaki restaurant where chefs cook right at your table, and a stylish bar lounge perfect for unwinding after a day of exploration.
