FEB2026 - so, for most people, if you come to Japan from a far away western country, you are probably on the look-out for a typical Japanese accommodation. But then… if you want to enjoy uber comfort, top service, with the ultimate view of Mount Fuji emerging from a gorgeous bay. It you want to experience the best sunsets of Japan in a cocooned hotel. If you are curious to explore why people say western food is simply best when prepared in Japan. Then this is the place worth considering. We loved every bit of our stay. And big congrats to the staff !

A family of three with a baby, we had dinner in the room because they do not allow kids under 10 at the restaurant, our experience was great, excellent food and we enjoyed every single minute there. We stayed for one night and it if you want to have breakfast wearing a bath rope without rush looking at the ocean, please stay here. Excellent service, beautiful rooms. Thank you 🙏🏽

We loved our stay at Harbor Terrace. We had the Enoshima room 201. The room was big, well designed and comfortable. The view was for the length of the room and looked upon Kamakura, the ocean and Mount Fuji. We really enjoyed the tub and little sauna. The breakfast was in our room upon check in and we just needed to prepare it, which was fantastic including the bread making machine that made bread overnight. The dinner at the restaurant was fabulous. Everything was great. We highly recommend The Harbor Terrace.

The HARBOR Terrace is a boutique hotel so only a few rooms. We booked a superior room with a sea view. (I think all the rooms have a sea view).|Our room was actually more like a little suite or apartment with a separate bedroom and living room with kitchenette and a huge bathroom. The views were next level and it was a joy to sit on our balcony at the start and end of the day.|The pool on the rooftop is lovely too - if you’re lucky you have views of Mount Fuji and if it’s too hazy you see it anyway as the sun sets behind it.|The hotel has a lovely bar area and restaurant. We had the 10 course tasting menu one night which was exceptional (although make sure you book as some nights they are very quiet and others fully booked) and be aware that the food service starts at 7 and the bar/restaurant closes at 9pm. Also my husband is coeliac which is not common in Japan and despite some initial concerns from the chef they absolutely nailed it.|The staff were delightful and could not have been more helpful

A real hidden gem with rooms with amazing views, sumptuous food and friendly service! The staff were all super accommodating and helpful and I was genuinely sad when I checked out, as I had had such a great stay !

We looked forward to our dinner there, since we enjoyed it so much before. We were not disappointed. Each course featured local, seasonal seafood and produce, and was delicious. Our meal was made all the more enjoyable by friendly service and great views of the sun setting over the beach.

This place is so beautiful that it feels like a dream. The views from the rooms are jaw droopingly stunning. If you want to feel totally transported and lulled by the sound of the waves into total bliss, then I highly recommend this enchanting hotel. 5 stars… absolutely spectacular and unforgettable. 👏 🫶💜☀️🌊 Trip 2: Now we have stayed at the Harbor Terrace for the second time. I would like to emphasize the amazing service from Yuri at reception and Erika in the restaurant. Both of these individuals have made our stay extra pleasant and special. The chef is superb as well, we stayed two nights and both meals were exceptional.

We dined at the Harbor Terrace but we didn’t stay at the hotel. The food was inventive and delicious, the staff were perfectly attentive and all understood English. The restaurant directly overlooks the sea so we will come back during daylight next time to enjoy the views which must be amazing. If you want a special and delightful dining experience along the Zushi coastline, look no further. We will be back for sure. Thank you!
