My partner and I had a wonderful two-night stay. The room was massive, modern and really stylish whilst being sympathic to traditional Japanese style. The spacious bathroom was a highlight, and the staff were very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was delicious too, though the selection could be more exhaustive. We also loved spending time on the rooftop terrace!
