It's definitely one of the most worthwhile places to stay! - Aman & Japanese style accommodations deserve a special mention; with a starting size of 60㎡, these rooms would be considered suites in other Japanese hotels, which shows their generosity. Additionally, the rooms feature tatami designs, full of Japanese style, and the furniture is primarily wooden, blending with the lush greenery outside the windows, creating a very comfortable living environment; of course, there are also essential amenities like hot spring baths, flower arranging... - Location is noteworthy The hotel is nestled in a secluded forest, surrounded by well-manicured terraces, babbling streams, and verdant trees (such as cedars and cypresses), with the opportunity to enjoy the autumn leaves.
