The rooms & baths
Four we passed on (and why)
- Tenku Terrace. Domes hold fewer than five — the group would have to split across two, which we ruled out.
- Glam Aira. One dome holds five with an in-room onsen, but it's about 1.5h from the Numazu sights.
- Izu Shaboten Village. One dome holds five and there's an animal park next door, but Saturday July 4 is sold out.
- UFUFU Village. Each dome caps at four — five of us would need two separate domes.
