Rakuten STAY TERRACE Hakone Kowakudani

Every thing we would or could need was provided though I wasn’t expecting a telescope to see the stars! Check in was digital and very easy. Welcome pack was unexpected and very good ...

Prince Smart Inn Atami
Clean well maintained property. Despite right next to train station, the room is very quiet due to double pane window. Nice laundromat which you can monitor the availability and progress with TV in your room.
