Tokyu Stay Kanazawa
For a solo traveller it was a great stay. Loved having a washer dryer to catch up on my laundry. Located within walking distance to prime tourist destinations. Deep tub was very clean and perfect to soak in after long day walking in snow and cold. English friendly staff.

Rakuten STAY TERRACE Hakone Kowakudani
Beautiful rooms, clean and well equipped. Will recommend it! Just as few notes if this is your first time in this area: Difficult to use the appliances as they are in Japanese, even though they provide a QR code with instructions we couldn’t use it. There are no dining options nearby and no restaurant ...
