TOKYO, – Hotel Okura Co., Ltd. has confirmed the strategic launch of the Okura Resort Hakone Gora in 2029, marking the brand’s inaugural resort property within Japan. This venture signifies a substantial commitment to elevating the luxury sector of the nation’s renowned hot spring market.
The resort’s principal innovation is the dedicated private outdoor onsen integrated into all 58 guest rooms. This amenity, supplied with authentic Owakudani thermal water, offers guests an unprecedented level of privacy and exclusivity regarding traditional hot spring access.
