What other travelers are saying about Hakone Gōra Park
Beautiful and Relaxing Oasis in Hakone
Hakone Gōra Park is a stunningly beautiful, tranquil park nestled in the hills of Hakone. The well-maintained gardens are filled with vibrant flowers, trees, and winding paths, making it a perfect place to relax and enjoy nature. The French-style landscape design offers a peaceful atmosphere, complemented by the sound of water from the lovely fountains.
One of the highlights is the tea house where you can experience traditional Japanese tea ceremonies—a must-try for a taste of authentic culture. There are also art workshops and craft experiences available, adding a unique touch to your visit.
The park's elevated location provides some great views of the surrounding mountains, making it an ideal spot for photographers or anyone wanting to take in the natural beauty of Hakone. Highly recommended for a peaceful escape!
(Note: The park is on a hill, so be prepared for some uphill walking, but it's well worth it!)
Well worth the hike. Peaceful and relaxing. Could have spent all day here. Has craft classes (glass blowing and pottery), a tea house, souvenir shop and impressive greenhouse (loved the Totoro tunnel). The gardens and park itself are absolutely beautiful. Thank you for having us
It was raining heavily when I went but still very beautiful. An uphill garden with spaces to explore, sit, a fountain and 2 cafes. There is also a craft house which sells handmade products some of which you can try for yourself. If the weather had been nicer and I'd had more time I could have spent several hours just wandering around.
Technically you have to pay to get it but it's not expensive and if you have a Hakone pass it's free.
This park is awesome. It was a rainy day in Hakone, but we went anyway. Was not disappointed.
Cheap reasonable price to get in. Plenty of green houses with an awesome variety of plants to see. Gotta keep your eyes open because there's neat plants tucked everywhere.
The grounds were beautiful. Paths all around. A mix between beautiful natural mountain stone and more modern accommodating ways.
The tea house with ceremony was like it's own little park. The experience was nice and came with a nice little personal tour of all the houses and bath.
I would highly recommend attending this park. We went in March, so not as much going on outdoors but, I can only imagine how beautiful it is in bloom with it's extensive rose gardens and wide variety of other native fauna.
We did not do any experiences, but the craft house is neat. Plenty of beautiful art pieces to purchase and we couldn't help but do so. The experiences looked fun and well set up. Kinda feel like we missed out but that was our decision. Keep note of the timing to receive your works, all clearly labeled. Most are day of, but some like ceramics and glass take time for proper completion.
