Your Own Private Hot Spring Awaits: Hotel Okura Opens Luxury Hakone Resort in 2029

HAKONE, JAPAN – Imagine soaking in your own private outdoor hot spring, surrounded by nature, without having to share the experience with anyone. That’s exactly what Hotel Okura is promising when it opens the Okura Resort Hakone Gora in 2029.
This will be Hotel Okura’s first resort in Japan, and they’re making it special: all 58 rooms will have their own private outdoor hot spring bath filled with real thermal water from Owakudani, one of Hakone’s most famous hot spring sources.
Famous designer Gwenael Nicolas created the resort’s “Forest Hideaway” look, using natural materials to make guests feel connected to the beautiful Hakone mountains and forests surrounding the property. The design is elegant but comfortable—luxury that doesn’t feel stuffy.
When you’re not relaxing in your private onsen, you can enjoy expertly prepared teppanyaki meals and experience the warm, thoughtful service Hotel Okura is known for worldwide.
Whether you’re looking for a weekend escape from the city or planning a special trip to Japan, the Okura Resort Hakone Gora aims to offer a peaceful, high-quality experience that lets you enjoy one of Japan’s greatest traditions—hot spring bathing—entirely on your own terms.
