Mother nature and hot spring
Gora, Hakone represents the hot spring resort culture of modern Japan, and is a symbol of mother nature and hot springs.
On the quiet heights of the Gora mountains, Gen stands quietly among the sounds of chirping birds and wind blowing through the trees, overlooking the Gairinzan mountain with its slope decorated with the character “大 dai.”
Due to its natural diversity, Gora offers a wide variety of hot springs in a single area including acidic springs, sulfate springs, sulfur springs, chloride springs, and hydrogen carbonate springs, making it one of the top hot spring resorts in Hakone.
