Hotel Okura Is Rewriting Japan’s Luxury Resort Playbook—And Every Guest Gets Their Own Private Hot Spring

HAKONE, JAPAN – Forget everything you thought you knew about Japanese resort hotels. Hotel Okura is about to shake things up with Okura Resort Hakone Gora—its first domestic resort and a game-changer arriving in 2029.
This isn’t just another hotel. This is 58 rooms of pure indulgence, and here’s the bold promise: every single guest gets their own private outdoor hot spring bath. Not shared. Not rotational. Yours. Fed by authentic Owakudani thermal water, these baths are the real deal.
Teaming up with Nishimatsu Construction in a July 2025 partnership, Hotel Okura is planting its flag in Hakone Gora—a hot spring powerhouse that pulls in nearly 20 million tourists a year. Designer Gwenael Nicolas is crafting a “Forest Hideaway” that fuses cutting-edge luxury with raw mountain beauty.
But wait—there’s more. Indoor hot springs for when you want company. Saunas for the wellness warriors. High-end teppanyaki that’ll make your taste buds sing. A bar lounge designed for those who appreciate the finer things.
Bottom line? Hotel Okura isn’t just opening a resort. They’re setting a new standard for luxury hospitality in Japan’s most coveted destinations. 2029 can’t come soon enough.
