It was very nice room and excellent services overall. Just on the side of the hotel and was under our room had a constructions going on during the day. It was really loud even though just for a few hours. It would be nice if hotel would notify the guests in ahead of the time.

This was a highlight of our trip! A truly luxurious experience - it was the best shower of my life and the indoor and outdoor baths were restorative after a week of travel and climbing Mount Inari earlier that day. Lovely interiors and a gorgeous mix of modern and traditional.
