We spent three nights here & very much enjoyed the experience. I would describe it as a sort of Western style ryokan, mainly because of the personal touch & the beautiful furnishings. The eclectic mix of lampshades, curtains & furniture resulted in a stunning effect. The staff were so helpful & gave us so much information. They made bookings for... More

The breakfasts were terrific with their homemade croissants, breads, jams, and yogurt!... More

The result was we had a beautiful room on the third floor and it was the second largest I... More
