Hotel Okura is set to open the first Okura Resort property in Japan, announcing that The Okura Resort Hakone Gora will debut in 2029. The result of a collaboration with Nishimatsu Construction, the new property will be located in the renowned hot spring destination of Hakone. An operational management agreement was signed on July 11, 2025, under the terms of which Nishimatsu Construction will develop and own the property, with Hotel Okura managing the hotel under The Okura Resort brand.
With its rich natural environment and beautiful seasonal landscapes, Hakone, one of Japan’s leading hot spring regions, attracts almost 20 million visitors from within Japan and from overseas every year. A significant number of them stay overnight to enjoy the area’s hot springs, museums and natural surroundings.
