9/10 Wonderful! (13 reviews)

Awesome property and location but instructions to enter the building were confusing and hard to follow. They were not completely accurate with what you had to put in the keypad at the entrance

This traditional Japanese Inn is thoroughly modern with excellent facilities, rooms, Michelin quality food, and helpful staff. We want to call out ‘Mikki’ who was super kind and helped us with any language barriers we had. The entire restaurant staff was amazing and we are grateful to meet the chef. The onsens were also wonderful. A room here with breakfast and dinner included is an excellent value.
