Reviews and Ratings
This hotel is a gem! The rooms are extremely well presented and clean, perfect for a pampering stay. However, the service wasn't as helpful and friendly as I would have liked. The location, while not very convenient for independent exploration, is lovely. The dining experience was delightful with a wide range of tasty options. Overall, a great choice if you prioritize cleanliness and Japanese aesthetics.
