Gora Kadan is not a hotel, but instead, a traditional Japanese Ryokan. Located on the grounds of the former summer villa of a member of the Imperial family, the building and facilities have earned high praise for its design, being in harmony with the nearby mountains, blending Japanese tradition along with modern design elements.

Since 1981, Gora Kadan has been a member of Relais & Chateaux, the French association synonymous with first class standards among the most demanding and well travelled jetsetter. We are honored to host guests from all over the world, and in 2002, were awarded the coveted Welcome Trophy by Relais & Chateaux, in recognition of high customer satisfaction and high standards of service.
