This was by far the best property we stayed at during our entire Japan trip. What stood out about it was the staff. They were the friendliest, most welcoming staff of any hotel I've stayed at ever. You're almost treated like a part of their family which made the experience feel like being at home.

I stayed for 2 nights and loved every moment at the hotel. Every staff member I met were so incredibly nice and welcoming and even gave me an umbrella when I checked out as it was raining which I wasn't expecting at all (thank you for the gentleman that gave it to me on check out, saved me from getting wet going to the store to buy one!) The room was so nice and it really felt like I was staying in a traditional inn. Thank you to everyone for making my stay so comfortable. Worth every penny.
