A quiet luxury made possible by our five-room auberge only

Shikanoya is a small luxury Hotel with only five guest rooms. By limiting the number of rooms, we provide attentive, personalized service and a calm, relaxing stay for every guest. The property features garden-view spaces, a restaurant, and a bar, offering an unhurried atmosphere away from the bustle. For added comfort, we also provide free private parking and luggage storage.

Experience the four seasons within a traditional Japanese miniature garden.
