We loved everything: spacious and beautiful bedrooms, excellent food (worth at least one Michelin star) offered by Chef OHIGASHI in parallel of great wines and sake list, 3 five stars private onsen, excellent personalized service, by Micky? and Matsumoto? the international great classy sommelier with a great sense of humour (sorry if i lost your names, please correct me in answer). You really feel more than at home in this unique independent hotel, where the owner has invested heavily to offer the best experience to his guests, in every details and spirit of excellence!

to not stay longer but we will come back!

The location was superb- in a tranquil setting, surrounded by mountains. We loved everything about the property. The staff were attentive, clearly proud of the work they do and were really helpful and friendly. The food, as everyone mentioned, was certainly the highlight. We used the private Onsen every day because we enjoyed it that much! The Suite was cosy, with all the necessary amenities and more, and the view from our terrace was great. All in all, the 4D3N stay at this gorgeous property was memorable and we cannot thank the staff enough- and especially the chef- for making our stay such a wonderful one.

Nothing!

This was an exceptional property in every way. Though the rooms are European style, the singular cabins, the passage ways, the main building, all have a very Japanese architectural feel. This is located about 20km from Koyasan, and sits among rice paddies just a bike ride from a local shrine. It gives you the chance to glide along on deserted roads and happen upon a major pilgramage shrine along the Kumano Kodo. The Kaiseki meal was superb, with about 10 courses of sublime cooking and service of the highest order. The staff may have been a little nervous as we don't speak Japanese, but they fared well. The presentation was, as is the Japanese way, giving a nod to the autumn season with fall flowers and leaves presenting the food as art. The Onsen were private so that couples can enjoy with eachother, three possibilities were available, with small gardens outside each. Our suite also had a huge round tub to enjoy as well. The bathroom was of exceptional design. We had a hedge of blooming flowers outside the porch doors where beautiful and unusual butterflies were feeding.

Maybe the gardens in front of the cabin could have been better maintained, but the fall is a fallow time.

Cozy hotel on the way to the Koya san, a place to relax after or before a night trip to the mountain. Offers luxury bungalows with a stunning bathrooms and spacious bedrooms, 3 small private onsens on the site and a very good restaurant, serving japanese/western style dishes of a very high quality. The personal did everything possible to make my stay perfect, even offered me a free transfer to the mountain Koya and back.

Nothing, it was a perfect experience

The most luxurious and comfortable stay we had in all of Japan, and without a doubt the most service-minded staff we have ever met in the whole world! They were available anytime to improve our experience in any way they could. The food was Michelin-star worthy and the menu changed every night with inspiring dishes throughout.

Amazing facilities - there are three different onsen baths that are available to reserve while on property. The room was spacious and clean, service was top tier. Food was impeccable from the chef. It was 2 hours away from Osaka/Kyoto and an amazing retreat away from the busy city life. Will hopefully revisit again in the future!

The villa were beautiful - everything you would need thought of. Loved the gardens as the butterflies were out. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

food was very good, private onsen, staff very helpful

Food was out of this world - our best meal in Japan

Amazing stay, everything was amazing, food delicious, room great, staff amazing!
