Hotel Okura Co., Ltd. is pleased to formally announce the planned 2029 opening of Okura Resort Hakone Gora, representing the organization’s inaugural resort development within the Japanese domestic market.
The property establishes a distinctive positioning within the luxury hot spring resort category through its comprehensive private onsen model: each of the 58 guest accommodations has been designed to incorporate dedicated outdoor thermal bathing facilities. All private baths will utilize genuine Owakudani-sourced thermal water, thereby ensuring guests maintain unrestricted access to authentic onsen experiences throughout their stay without shared facility constraints.
The architectural and interior framework, conceptualized under the “Forest Hideaway” philosophy by internationally recognized designer Gwenael Nicolas, emphasizes environmental integration and refined comfort. Culinary programming will feature premium teppanyaki preparations, while operational standards will reflect the service excellence for which the Hotel Okura brand has achieved global recognition.
This development initiative establishes an elevated benchmark for privacy-centric luxury hospitality within the Hakone hot spring resort destination, positioning the property to serve discerning domestic and international clientele seeking exclusive wellness-focused experiences.
