Incredible experience from start to finish. The hotel is beautifully designed—take time to explore and enjoy everything it offers. We booked a private onsen, a ceremonial matcha session, and a breathwork class, all of which were exceptional. They also provide various fitness and wellness activities throughout the week. Our room was comfortable, featuring a spacious tub and a fantastic room service menu. Great breakfast options as well, where you can order a traditional Japanese breakfast. The spa area was equally relaxing, and I had a massage so good I fell asleep. This was easily one of the best hotel stays of my life, and I highly recommend it to anyone.
Great stay! The hotel provided slippers and pajamas upon arrival, which was a nice touch. The staff was very friendly, and our room came with a full kitchen, making it feel like a home away from home. The location was excellent, with shops and restaurants nearby, including a great Uzbek/Russian restaurant next door that we loved so much we visited several times during our stay.
