Twinkle Gora: A Resort Apartment in Hakone with Scenic Hot Spring Baths
This reinforced concrete property, known as Twinkle Gora, is a resort apartment complex located in the Miyagino area of Hakone Town, Kanagawa Prefecture. The building was completed in December 1991 by Taisei Corporation.

An elevator is available only in Building B, and a passage connects the first floor of Building B to the third floor of Building A.
The property features a renowned panoramic hot spring communal bath on the top floor, where residents can enjoy views of the surrounding mountains while bathing in Gora's famous thermal waters.

The property is situated on a slope, offering expansive views of the Hakone town area.
