The rooms were wonderful and bed was very comfortable. The bar area is very scenic and the kiwi cocktail that was on special was one of the best I’ve had. We really enjoyed the option to reserve the onsen privately as well. Would love to return!

Pros:

Excellent service. Our children got sick during the trip and the concierge found a doctor for us late evening. Concierge explained everything to the doctor before we got there so we were able to get treated even though our Japanese was limited.

Pros:

One of the best hotels I have ever stayed in, in all areas including room cleanliness and organization, customer service (amazing), a quiet room, relaxed atmosphere, excellent breakfast (Japanese or American, served at the table, plus an extensive buffet, all items fresh and delicious. Location is amazing, 5m walk to a metro station and right across the street from Nijojo castle which was one of the best things we have seen in Japan.
