Life changing experience, despite the relatively high price tag. Stayed there for 3 days, 2 nights and did not want to leave. The rooms are spacious, elegant and have every creature comfort you would need. It is highly recommended you make a dinner reservation for pizza, which is both homely and delicious. Stay comes with traditional breakfast which we thoroughly enjoyed. However, what sets this place apart is the impeccable service from their staff, who treated us with kindness and warmth throughout our entire stay. Specific commendation for a young lady named, Miharu. She was gentle, friendly, and accommodating. We have only left but are looking forward to our next stay in November.

After taking off your shoes, you go inside of the hall with lavanda/rosemary small and step on soft carpet. We had a view in the beautiful garden. A lot of space, beautiful design. I think I know now what my dream house should look like. It's far from the city center, but this is where you want to return and enjoy your time inside. The personal 10 of 5.

Can’t opine on the rooms, as we didn’t stay here, but had lunch. The service was so welcoming and kind. The food was delicious! Not traditional Japanese, but a very cool take on pizza with unique Japanese flavors. We loved everything we ordered - strawberry burrata starter, soup, and meat pizza were our favorite. The atmosphere was so nice as well! We were fortunate enough to dine with mostly local people.
