The family who owned it was so lovely to us. We loved our japanese breakfast in the morning. The walking tour was so beautiful and was taken by a super kind guide. I wish I could remember his name. we were sad when the tour came to an end but will cherish our photos with the guide and a print of one of his artworks. The tea ceremony was so special. I appreciate the lady taking me round to the matcha shop after to pick up the same kind because I didn't know where the shop was and another nearby store was sold out. The hotel was beautiful and our bedroom was incredible. Absolutely loved the traditional style. The facilities were fantastic and super clean too. The neighbour too was beautiful and peaceful but with plenty of restaurants and coffee shops. It was also very close to metro station, so reaching popular tourist sites was easy. Please book it, you won't regret it and will have the best stay. I wish I could return some day! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿Show More

Also there is a bike rental store right around the corner. Different types of Japanese breakfasts are served on different days which allow you to experience a variety of different local foods. Onsen is very clean and enjoyable. There is a free tea ceremony each morning and different free activities offered on some days and evenings. Highly recommend!Show More

It was a very luxurious and relaxing feeling with nice extras touches such as printed photographs, free (and amazing!) tea ceremony and a nice short evening concert. I've seen tea ceremonies being sold for €200 or above elsewhere, so this is a good thing to include in the price. It's a short but very dignified event. The room and the beds were very comfortable and the onsen was great. We especially appreciated the small gifts for our honeymoon, thanks so much!Show More
