Ibaraki Prefecture Vacations from AED9,706

This is a unique property and a total throw back to another time (the main house is from the 1890s). The traditional kaiseki was impeccable, the breakfast was delicious, and the property is gorgeous. Added bonus: hot spring water is piped to your room bath! We had a wonderful weekend hiking and exploring the area (loved the Open Air Museum), and we have already talked about going back on our next trip to Japan. For those of you who know Mohonk in Upstate NY, Fujika evokes a similar vibe. Thank you to the staff! Highly recommend.

One of best hotel in Atami

This was my second stay and I was just was blown away as the first time. The Awashima Hotel is a true gem of a location and establishment. The boat ride from the shore to the island is scenic and pleasant, the island itself features a fun aquarium with shows, a wonderful walking path ideal for a stroll or early-morning birding, and adventurous guests can attempt the steep climb up to the island's shrine. Inside and out, the hotel feels like staying in a museum. Wonderful art, sculptures, and artifacts are everywhere and they have a small collection of art books to enjoy in the lounge. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, and luxurious. The wifi signal is weak and the TV reception is poor due to the location, but honestly, you would be wasting your visit staying glued to a screen. The views of the bay and of Mt. Fuji are unrivalled. Breakfast begins from 7:30am so I recommend keeping a can of coffee with you if you wake up early to sit on the patio and enjoy the view. Speaking of, you will be spoiled at meals; breakfast and dinner are incredible. LLS fans will certainly be wowed by the large display in a special Mari themed "Library Corner & Photo Spot".

Very good experience, highly recommended
