The Facility and Room were stylish, impeccably clean, and incredibly relaxing.The tea and snacks prepared at check-in were also chic and instantly lifted my mood.All the in-room amenities, as well as the sweets, coffee, and other refreshments provided, felt carefully selected.Dinner was far better than I had imagined—delicious, of course, and beautifully presented for the eyes as well.I requested a mixed pairing of sake and wine, which turned out to be exactly right; even though my appetite had been down from summer fatigue, both the drinks and the food went down easily. I also heard that even the seasonings are handmade, and my overall satisfaction was higher than at an auberge—maybe it is an auberge?The garden view was lovely too; with wonderful food and drinks plus attentive service, it became an unforgettable night.All of the staff were courteous yet friendly—I’d love to see them again.I’d like to visit again in a different season.

This time, we were upgraded from a Junior Suite to a Suite.From the Room entrance there is a garden, and the entryway is spacious with stylish furnishings. The Room has tatami mats, and after walking around the Bikan Historical Quarter all day, it was great to be able to stretch out and lie down—an open, Ryokan-like comfort that we really enjoyed.The guest Room was so wonderful that “wonderful” is the only word that comes to mind.Maybe because it was extremely hot outside, there were no insects in the open-air bath, which made it very comfortable.There was just one drawback: breakfast was very delicious, but it’s only served during an early time slot… Sightseeing in the Bikan Historical Quarter involves a lot of walking, so we wanted even one more hour of sleep. Still, we felt that any lingering discomfort was more than made up for by how lovely the Room was and how pleasant the staff were.It’s an Accommodation we’d love to stay at again.Next time we’ll choose a stay with dinner included.
