Everything is perfect! Just the food is very

The room was spectacular! And the setting was so serene (the lobby, restaurant, and onsen were all immaculate). The dining experiences (both breakfast and dinner) were also very special - definitely a once-in-a-lifetime experience with many new foods to try and impeccable service. My only (small) notes: there is no fitness center and no nearby running/walking/hiking (the property is located off a busy highway with no sidewalks), so if you are an active person, be prepared to do a lot of sitting around! We asked for trail recommendations but were told they didn't exist. We also found that the hotel staff, while very accommodating, were NOT knowledgeable about nearby activities, dining, etc. We really had to fend for ourselves in that regard. Perhaps it was the language barrier, but seemingly simple requests (like laundry service, or calling a taxi), they were not able to help us with. Also, note that the dining is private in individual dining rooms, but it is not IN your hotel room, if that's what you're looking for. All in all, I'd say this is an amazing retreat for 1 or 2 nights if you really just want to unplug and lay around in a beautiful space!

A great hotel but had an issue with ordering wine at the restaurant. On the mobile app menu we ordered a French Chardonnay and it turned out to be 2007, way too old. It was oxidized and we told the waiter who referred us to the sommelier who agreed. We ordered a replacement but when we checked out they charged us for the wine we did not drink. That’s not acceptable and they should not be selling this vintage of white wine, way too old.

Wonderful experience. Impeccable service and fantastic location with great views. Serene and tranquil.
