This was the best hotel we stayed in Japan. Staff was super helpful and all spoke great English. The rooms were large and clean. Most things to do were within walking distance of the hotel. Overall this hotel experience helped the remainder of our trip be stress free.

A memorably excellent stay
An excellent stay. Spotlessly clean. Incredibly helpful staff. Brilliant location. Elegant, stylish. The sauna in room was a huge plus in winter. The breakfast buffet was simple but tasty and good value. We really loved this hotel.

The hotel was pretty new so advice to bring hotel information for taxi drivers. It’s so beautiful and they have free amenities and coffee and water in the lobby. We didn’t try the restaurant but it looked delicious.

The front desk staff were very helpful. A few members of the staff spoke very good English, so it was easy to check in. The hotel is very nice, as was the room where I stayed. A lovely mix of modern and traditional. I only had two issues: the hotel was in an awkward location, and the duvets weren't very wide.
