Heritage Setting
Gora Kadan stands on the historic grounds of Kan’in-no-miya Villa, once the summer retreat of an Imperial Family member in Gora, Hakone. The property blends timeless Japanese tradition with contemporary design, offering natural hot spring waters flowing directly from the source and a serene atmosphere shaped by its noble past.
Seasonal Kaiseki Cuisine
Within this former Imperial villa from the early 1900s, guests are invited to savor kaiseki crafted from meticulously selected seasonal ingredients. Each dish highlights peak freshness and celebrates the nature and flavors of Hakone. The experience pairs culinary finesse with the refined ambiance of a residence long associated with dignity and prestige.
Sushi Kadan
Located on the second floor of the historical Kan’in-no-miya detached residence, Sushi Kadan operates under the guidance of Sushi Yoshitake, one of Ginza’s most renowned establishments. Here, beautifully composed sushi meets premium ingredients and the warm, attentive spirit of Japanese omotenashi—an expression of hospitality deeply rooted in Gora Kadan’s philosophy.
