A beautiful and peaceful stay. From the drivers who picked us up and dropped use back to Taichung. To every single staff member at hoshinoya that we encountered all were courteous and super helpful. The room and amenities were great and the garden was our favourite thing, from the deck outside the library especially in the evening watching the birds was so relaxing. What a lovely place to spend some quiet time to relax.
Wandering in through the garden you’ll find many small delights
On the library deck in the evening we watch the garden transform to and fair land as the lights come on at dusk, beautiful!

What a surprise and delight to arrive at this exclusive and secluded spa- retreat outside the beaten track. Wonderful and attentive service, comfortable rooms with hot-tub, a separate spa with treatments and hot water pool - and not to forget the exquisite japanese inspired cuisine!
