This hotel is in a perfect location to be close to busy areas, yet still out of the way enough that you get a neighbourhood feel. The modern-Japanese style feels traditional whilst still providing all necessary amenities. The spa facilities are excellent with a sauna, onsen and cool plunge pool.

Our room was clean and very nice. The photos on Expedia doesn't do it justice. Plenty of amenities that includes 3 different complimentary drinks that get refilled daily, senbei snacks, and the usual toiletries and sleep wear. The onsite Onsen is simple, but clean and was never crowded. Close to all the shops, temples, many local restaurants, bakeries, and coffee shops. Great place to stay to get away from the noisy touristy areas, but close enough to go everywhere by foot.
