To ensure these premium properties are maintained to the highest standard for all guests, a security deposit of ¥500,000 (JPY) is required for this accommodation.
- Security Guarantee: As the travel agent, Samurai Snow requires a credit card pre-authorization to be completed prior to arrival. This is a temporary hold of funds and not a debit from your account.
