Rakuten STAY TERRACE Hakone Kowakudani

We stayed with our dog on a family trip. With the windows closed, we couldn’t hear other dogs at all. Being able to enjoy the Onsen 24 hours a day and use the footbath until midnight made for a truly luxurious time. We also bought extra seafood and grilled it for a BBQ. However, there were no basic seasonings provided, such as soy sauce or salt and pepper, which was disappointing. We went to a nearby convenience store to buy some.

I’ve traveled with my dog several times, but this was the most satisfying Hotel I’ve stayed at so far. The unmanned lobby was also very clean, and I already felt pleased even before entering the Room. The dog amenities were very well stocked, and the Room was spotless, stylish, and well maintained. With a semi-open-air bath, a footbath, and a sauna, everything was clean wherever I looked, and I could truly relax both body and mind. Just staying in the Room made me feel like I was fully enjoying an Onsen trip. The meal Plan was also excellent—sukiyaki with high-quality meat, obanzai side dishes, and breakfast bread were all delicious and extremely satisfying! If I had to ask for one thing, it would be to have just a little more of that delicious meat—then it would have been perfect. There was also a projector so we could watch Netflix on a large screen. We couldn’t use it because it was cloudy, but there was also a telescope for stargazing if the weather is good. The garden where we could watch our dog happily playing while soaking in the footbath was wonderful as well. Our family trip became truly luxurious, and our Hakone trip turned into an amazing memory. I would definitely like to stay again.
