Maholova Minds Miura is a resort that overlooks Tokyo Bay. Located near the Miura swimming beach and a Keikyu railway station, you can see the Bōsō Peninsula on the other side of the bay, beautiful sunrises, and even Mt. Fuji on fair weather days!

Plenty of beach-goers swarm to the area during summer, and visitors also come between February to March each year to admire the 1,000 kawazu-zakura, a type of cherry blossoms that will bloom beautifully along the Keikyu Main Line tracks during sakura season.

The Miura hotel resort has a total of 300 guest rooms, ranging from large living quarters that can house up to 10 guests to royal suites, sky suites with high ceilings, and many others. Wi-Fi is available in all buildings and rooms.

Rates are offered for accommodation with and without meals - perfect for travelers who are keen to find their own chow while out exploring!

There's also a unique floor where each room has a design theme. In addition to the original five themed rooms - the Asian Resort, Sakura (Cherry Blossom), Alice, Tiara, and Stylish Romance Rooms - they have since added two more: the Third Generation Baby Room and the Coca-Cola Room.

The main building contains a large bathroom facility, the Kur Park, and restaurants and shops you would expect to see in a building complex. Their large bathroom and open-air bath (men-only or women-only depending on the time) facilities use high-quality natural hot spring water that gushes out from 1,500 meters (about 4,900 feet) underground.

Kur Park and warm water pools are for guests who wish to splash about in a swimsuit, and these facilities are appealing attractions to many as well.

In the Tokyo resort, good food is always available. The all-you-can-eat meal packages are especially popular, since you can gorge on as much fresh vegetables and tuna directly from Misaki Port as your belly can take!

This Miura hotel resort is at the easternmost tip of Miura Peninsula, located along a strip of sea. All rooms have an ocean view, so wherever you're placed, you can relax to the sound of the waves as you gaze at the vast blue expanse from your room window. All this at only about an hour away from the city!

There are a total of 60 guest rooms. Wi-Fi is accessible in all guest rooms, the lobby, and the banquet room. Tokyo Bay stretches out before the hotel, and the Uraga Channel is just three kilometers (about 1.8 miles) away. More than 200 ships and boats pass through the channel daily, and nothing quite says "leisurely" like watching them roll across the sparkling waters as you relax in the comfort of your hotel room!

There's more! The Miura hotel resort is also equipped with three special guest rooms for glamping ('glamorous camping') purposes. From a mobile house called Jyubako (stay box) designed by world-famous architect Kengo Kuma to a cabin furnished with Snow Peak outdoor lifestyle products, camping at Kannonzaki Keikyu Hotel is a luxurious way to enjoy the outdoors to your heart's content.

When night falls, rolling waves surround your senses, taking away any fatigue you may have accumulated during the day.

The hotel offers great food to guests as well with Le Beau Rivage, an authentic French restaurant, as well as Hamayu, a casual dining restaurant that offers all-you-can-eat meal packages. There's also Spasso, a hot bath facility for nice, long soaks that will doubtlessly contribute to a most relaxing vacation!

The package we recommend going for is the 20,000 yen Seaside Resort Package which includes a one-night stay with two meals - dinner and breakfast. For dinner, you're offered a choice between a Western-style full-course meal or a Japanese meal set that uses an ample amount of ingredients sourced from the Miura Peninsula.

There's also Spa & All-You-Can-Eat Lunch, a day-trip package that allows you to enjoy an all-you-can-eat buffet lunch made with locally sourced ingredients, then relax in the Spasso hot bath facility that faces the beautiful sky and sea.

Throw in a leisurely walk around the vicinity, and you've got enough on your plate to indulge in for an entire day! The hotel also has an outdoor pool that's perfect for summer dips.
