HAKONE, JAPAN – Imagine this: You step out onto your private terrace, and there it is—your own outdoor hot spring bath, filled with authentic thermal water, surrounded by forest, with no one else around. That’s not a dream. That’s what’s waiting for you at the new Okura Resort Hakone Gora, opening in 2029.
Hotel Okura is creating something special—their first resort in Japan—and they’re doing it right. All 58 rooms feature private open-air hot spring baths using real Owakudani spring water. No sharing. No schedules. Just you, nature, and pure relaxation.
Designer Gwenael Nicolas calls it the “Forest Hideaway,” and the name fits. Natural materials blend seamlessly with modern comfort, creating a space where you can truly escape. Add world-class teppanyaki dining and Okura’s legendary hospitality, and you’ve got the perfect getaway.
Whether you’re celebrating something special or just need to disconnect from the everyday chaos, this is where you’ll want to be. Privacy guaranteed. Luxury delivered. Hakone’s never looked this good.
Mark your calendar for 2029—this is the retreat you’ve been waiting for.
