"Hotel Indigo Hakone Gora, Japan's first "anti-ryokan," is an upbeat hangout for international travelers and in-the-know weekenders from Tokyo and Kyoto who want to sip designer lattes, listen to DJs, and take a dip in a swimming pool filled with warm, mineral-y onsen water. Rooms are thoroughly Western in style, which might come as a surprise for travelers in search of tatami, but you'll get your very own wooden soaking tub filled with onsen water." - Brandon Presser

"Why did this hotel catch your attention? What's the vibe? Hotel Indigo Hakone Gora, Japan's first "anti-ryokan," is an upbeat hangout for international travelers and in-the-know weekenders from Tokyo and Kyoto who want to sip designer lattes, listen to DJs, and take a dip in a swimming pool filled with warm, mineral-y onsen water. What's the backstory? The first Indigo in Japan wants to disrupt the staid, polite ryokan atmosphere pervasive in the hamlets outside of Tokyo. Its smiley service and loud attitude has birthed a new breed of weekend getaway. Tell us all about the accommodations. Any tips on what to book? Rooms are thoroughly Western in style, which might come as a surprise for travelers in search of tatami, but you'll get your very own wooden soaking tub filled with onsen water—and, let's face it, that's the best part of a ryokan, anyway. Is there a charge for Wi-Fi? Free wifi. Drinking and dining—what are we looking at? This might be the only place in Hakone where you can get a steak frites. The Kiwi chef—who cut his teeth in the competitive Bangkok dining scene—is gunning to clog your arteries with his colossal truffle mac 'n' cheese. And the service? Service is warmer and more personalized than that of traditional ryokans. What type of travelers will you find here? Hip Tokyoites and their kids. Is there anything you'd change? The property is offering a very specific experience; if it's not to your liking, go elsewhere. Any other hotel features worth noting? Be sure to ask about the local woodworking tradition that involves complex geometric tiling—it's hidden all over the hotel. Bottom line: Worth it? Why? This hotel is a fun friends' getaway in the heart of Hakone." - Brandon Presser

I’m very glad that we didn’t listen to the negative reviews. This is a gorgeous, modern, and exceptionally clean hotel. The rooms and public areas are well-designed, spacious, and show no signs of wear. My family appreciated the private onsen on our balconies, which had properly hot water and the sounds of the rushing river as a backdrop. We also appreciated the very clean and beautiful co-ed public onsen esp since we are a gay couple and have a son, which meant all of us could be together. Finally, the food was much better than you would expect from reading the menu. Breakfast esp had very high quality choices, esp if you don’t confine yourself to eating western breakfast.

Myself and my husband stayed a couple of nights during our Japan honeymoon. We had a fantastic time! We appreciated our room upgrade from the hotel and helping to make our stay extra special, thank you. The service from start to finish was excellent from the staff settling us in to the staff in the restaurant. Staff speak English so this was helpful. Breakfast was great with a nice selection including western food options. The dinner we had was also delicious and the pork and salmon mains we both enjoyed were great. We loved our room and thought the private onsen bath was perfect after a long days walk. Our room was spacious and well decorated. The view of the river was nice to wake up to. The hotel provides a station pick up on arrival and departure which was helpful too. Thank you to all the staff, From Nicole & Will

This is by far the best hotel I’ve stayed at in Japan — a true 5-star experience in every sense. Our room was luxurious, with a stunning view of the river and a private onsen bath on the balcony — an unforgettable touch of relaxation and elegance. The hotel’s spa and pools added even more comfort to the stay, making it a perfect retreat. Check-in was smooth and efficient. The staff were exceptionally polite and welcoming. Upon arrival, we were offered a variety of drinks, including water, tea, coffee, wine, and more — a small gesture that made a big impression. The room amenities were also outstanding. The bath products, including lotions and creams, had a delightful fragrance and felt high quality. I was genuinely impressed by every aspect of this hotel and would happily return. An exceptional place that truly deserves its 5-star rating.

So this is a wonderful Onsen experience for someone who has tattoos or wants a little more private experience. The in room bath is lovely! We loved watching the rain and relaxing after walking all over Tokyo! The public are is quite nice and you can wear a swimsuit and be with your family. The room and the hotel itself is stunningly beautiful! The food was incredible as well! It’s a really wonderful experience set up to enjoy Japan but it’s also very set up for international travelers to have an easy experience. I highly recommend this place!

We had a wonderful time at the Hotel Indigo Hakone Gora. The in-room hot spring access was lovely, the views from the property were beautiful, and the food was fabulous. The best part of our stay, however, was the incredible service at this hotel. All the staff went out of their way to ensure we had everything we could possibly need. We particularly appreciated Thapa, who went above and beyond to help us with our reservation and local transportation. Hotel Indigo was relaxing and serene - we would gladly return any time.

I love this hotel! From the moment we were ushered in from the shuttle coming via Odawara stn, the hotel felt very welcoming. Reception was a large open table that is not your typical hotel reception that feel too formal. we were first brought to the lower bar seating area where it’s comfy sofa seating. Check in took awhile as many guests were received from the hotel shuttle bus (25-30 seater). Staff always check in with us on the progress while we waited. Room came with private onsen though I hope it could have been the natural spring water instead of tap. Love the huge room size thats great for little kids to run around, met my standard of cleanliness as well. Breakfast adequate but not a huge spread which I find pricey at 3900 yen. Some bread, fried jap style fish, somen, cold appetisers, veg dips, fruits, around 6-8 hot dishes including omelette and poached eggs. Yet a lot of drink choices fr milk, soy, juices, teas, etc. we had the set dinner 18000 yen and 15000 yen as both of us had diff menus. Was a 3-4 course dinner, nothing out of this world and we didnt want the hassle of walking out to find food. This was one hotel we found many singaporeans (we are one too) as breakfast and dinnertime in resto is when westarted noticing the accents. Nearby is a 7-11 nearby around 300m by foot if you feel peckish in middle of the night. Very pleasant stay, like that they provide mpv service to and fro gora station that would be most main boarding point to other attractions, mind that it runs till 6pm so any later you can take the Hakone Tozan bus which brings you to the pizza resto just a short 50m walk from hotel main road.

Amazing experience at this hotel from start to finish. Highly recommend for the location in the mountains, the staff, the service. Had room with the lake/river running in the background, a lovely view of the mountain sides and it was just tranquil. Another plus is the daily on demand shuttle to the train station. Blackegg site, Hakone area tours, views of Mount Fuji from cable cars. Access to the Lakes...just amazing all round

Beautiful hotel that mixes old world style with new right on the river. The private onsen in each room was a nice touch. Staff was all very gracious and spoke English, providing help to all with a courteous demeanor. Breakfast was excellent with soft turned omelettes and a wide variety. I got sure would come back to stay here longer!
